Charles Kreutz, age 92, a resident of Wayne for the past eighty-eight years, died Friday, August 29, 2008, at the Sturdy Memorial Hospital, Attleboro, MA.
Charlie was born in West Orange, having lived in Wayne since 1920. He was a fireman for the Lackawanna Railroad for fifteen years, having also worked for Wayne Township before becoming a supervisor for United Artists Cable, Oakland, prior to his retirement in 1980.
Charlie was a devoted member of the Calvary Gospel Church, Wayne. He was a charter member of the Wayne First Aid Squad, Wayne, where he served four terms as president of the squad. He was a member of the Wayne Historical Commission, the Mountain View Masonic Lodge #154, Wayne, had served as a volunteer for the Chilton Memorial Hospital, Pompton Plains, and was an honorary member of the Passaic County Sheriff’s Department.
Charlie (also known to friends as “Red”) was an avid bowler and golfer and proudly related his accomplishment of hitting two holes-in-one. He was also an avid sports fan who particularly enjoyed football and baseball, rarely missing a game with the Oklahoma Sooners, the New England Patriots or the Boston Red Sox. Charlie and his wife especially enjoyed time with their family and until recently looked forward to spending their winters in Lake Worth, FL.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 68 years, Laura Aileen Kreutz (nee Jacobus); loving father of Shirley Kammerer and her husband Gerald of Norton, MA and Charles Kreutz and his wife Gail of Culver Lake, NJ. He is the cherished grandfather of five grandchildren, Jodi VanDervoort of Westtown, NY, Bobby Kreutz of Grove, OK, Scott Kammerer of Old Hickory, TN, Todd Kammerer of Wrentham, MA and Wade Kammerer of Uxbridge, MA. He was the loving and proud great-grandfather to eleven great-grandchildren, Cassidy, Mikayla and Madison VanDervoort, Nathaniel and Lucy Kammerer, Slade and Ty Kammerer, Lexi Kammerer, Chase and Abby Kreutz and Mark Peltier.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Charlie’s name are asked to consider the Calvary Gospel Church, 1559 Hamburg Tpk., Wayne, NJ 07470.
