"Who's your best friend?"
Charles E. Baisch age 83 of Wayne, died Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2015 at the Christian Health Care Center in Wyckoff. He had been a Wayne resident for over fifty years.
Charlie was raised in Paterson, NJ in the Stoney Road neighborhood. He lived right across the street from Tungol Paints, a local landmark. While attending Central High School, Charlie became involved with all the school printing and was the ‘go to’ guy for much of the school staff, including the principle. His skills often got him excused from class so he could help with printing tasks. This parlayed into a lifelong career in the printing industry.
Charlie enjoyed his career with Anderson & Vreeland for many years, serving many clients in the printing industry throughout the area. He was so dedicated to his career and his clients in such a way that is best summed up by his sales manager who once said; “Charlie, I don’t think you work for me…you work for your clients.” Charlie could have retired years ago but he loved what he did and he genuinely like helping people, so he kept working until just six years ago, retiring at seventy seven years old.
Charlie was also dedicated to his home. He and Mary Lou bought the house new in 1963 and he worked tirelessly maintaining the grounds and the house itself. He was even known to ride his John Deere lawn tractor up and down the street, cleaning the edge of the roadway too. Raising his four daughters there, he didn’t hesitate to teach them how to help him out with all the projects. When he decided to put in a pool, they all pitched in cutting down the trees and digging the hole – by hand! It was a labor of love and the finished pool was enjoyed by them all for countless years of fun. Charlie loved entertaining at the house, cooking and grilling his favorite London Broil steaks! He loved having parties at the house and if the weather wasn’t perfect, he had a large paper sun that he would hang from the tree to brighten the day! Every Sunday, he would get up around 7 AM to start preparing their Sunday supper and by the time they were ready to eat, he would have a wonderful meal prepared for the whole family – he just loved to cook.
Charlie was also dedicated to his church. Having been raised in the Westside Methodist church in Paterson, he learned to play the organ at a young age. He played at Westside during the Sunday services for almost thirty years, as well as at the Preakness Baptist Church in Wayne. He married his wife, Mary Lou Kammerer on June 27, 1953 at the First Baptist Church in Paterson and they enjoyed a honeymoon to Daytona Beach, Florida, driving there in a Buick borrowed from his sister. They have enjoyed sixty two years together in a very loving marriage, full of good memories. They were the best of buddies, blessed with compassion for one another, and Mary Lou will miss him dearly.
Charlie is survived by his loving wife Mary Lou of Wayne, also by his four daughters; Jane Bishop and her husband John of Wayne, Judy Bakonyi and her husband James of Highland Lakes, Laurie Roemer and her husband William of Williamsburg, Virginia, and Diane Axberg and her husband George of Wayne, his ‘honorary’ daughter; Beverly Radway and her husband David of Wayne, his very special and much loved uncle; Henry Wiesner of Wayne, eight grandchildren; Jenny McGillick and her husband Chris, Justin Harlan and his wife Brooke, Jonathan Radway, Kristin Baisch Erickson, Sarah Hendrickson and her husband John, Jenna Harlan, Caneel Bay Axberg, and Summer Rae Axberg, four great-grandchildren; Cash Hendrix Harlan, Weston Max Harlan, Kaleigh McGillick, and Dylan McGillick, his supportive son-in-law; Gerry Harlan of Parsippany, three sisters; Marjorie Edwards, Dorothy Baisch, and Helen Bogucz, one brother; Robert Baisch. He was predeceased by three siblings; Albert Baisch, Ruth Stout, and Evelyn Baisch.
