E. Wallace Darling “Wally” age 91 of Green Pond died Thursday, December 28, 2006 at home.
He was born in Brooklyn, NY and lived in Garfield, Teaneck and Tenafly before moving to Green Pond thirty years ago.
Mr. Darling graduated from John Adams High School, Brooklyn, NY with the class of 1933. He also attended classes at Columbia University and New York University both in New York City. He was an Air Raid Warden during WWII, the first president of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) of the Woodrow Wilson School #5, Garfield, President of the International Carpet Cleaning Association, Director and Commodore of the Green Pond Yacht Club, Green Pond, Chairman of the Green Pond Environmental Foundation, Green Pond, on the board of directors of the Green Pond Corporation, Green Pond and a member of the Saint Simons RC Church, Green Pond finance committee.
He was the president and chairman of the Renotex Corporation, New York City, a commercial carpet and upholstery cleaning firm, for thirty-one years before his retirement in 1980.
Wally was charming, witty and had an amazing zest for life. Most of all he will be remembered for loving his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and taking a keen interest in everything they did.
