August “Augie” DeFalco, age 86, of Lincoln Park, passed Sunday, January 15, 2017.
He was born in Passaic and raised in Lodi having graduated from Lodi High School with the Class of 1948. He continued his education at Nyack College in Nyack, NY.
Augie was a machinist for the Shulton Corporation, and later the American Cyanamid Corporation in Clifton for over thirty years before retiring.
He will be remembered for his love of gardening growing all sorts of vegetables in his backyard garden. He grew tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini, corn, beans, string beans, pumpkins, and even sun flowers. He would spend hours tending his garden always wearing his big brimmed farmer’s hat. He was also meticulous about keeping records about what and when he planted, and the crop yield for each year’s planting. Family, friends, and acquaintances all looked forward to Augie sharing what he grew.
Augie also enjoyed cooking and had just about every cookbook you could imagine. He also collected recipes from any and everywhere he could get his hands on them. He was at home in the kitchen always trying new recipes, but most of all his shrimp scampi will be greatly missed. In his down time he also enjoyed reading about history.
Augie is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Alice (Hagmann) DeFalco; David DeFalco and his wife Debbie and their three daughters, Melissa Mozingo, Candace Mozingo, and Jessica Rychlik; the late Timothy DeFalco(2014) and his surviving wife Barbara and their children, Matt Dade and Sarah DeFalco; Philip DeFalco and his wife Sharon and their children, Nic Hesler, Brianna Dupont, Jessica and Jennifer DeFalco; Jonathan and his wife Kimberly and their children, Elizabeth Gray, Nathaniel DeFalco, Angela DeFalco, Laura Guyle and Hannah DeFalco; Rebecca Greenspan and her son, Charles DeFalco. Augie was the step-father of Donna Bower of Pompton Plains; Helen Wilson and her husband Dean of Lincoln Park; Robert Bower of Lincoln Park; Daniel Bower of Wayne; Pop-Pop of Bryan Wilson and Destani Bower. Great-Grandfather to Dakota and Atreyu DeFalco, and Madison and Lillian Rychlik. Brother to the late Anthony DeFalco and his surviving wife Rita; and Peter DeFalco and his wife Alexandra; and 4 nieces and nephews.
