Edward J. Horant age 87 of Wayne died Friday, May 23, 2008 at the Saint Josephs Wayne Hospital, Wayne.
He was born and lived in Wallington, then lived in Fair Lawn and West Milford before moving to Wayne forty years ago.
Edward graduated from Lodi High School with the class of 1938.
He was a United States Army Veteran of WWII having been stationed in the Philippines for most of his military service.
Edward is best described as: a person with an extremely strong will, an avid fisherman, the grandparent who attended all dance recitals and sporting events of his grandchildren, the loud grandparent on the sidelines, and generous.
He was the beloved husband of sixty years to the late Veronica (Motowicki) Horant who predeceased him in May of 2007. Edward died the day before their sixty-first anniversary and therefore they have never spent their anniversary apart.
He is the beloved father of Diane Gilchrist of Wayne and her late husband Wayne(2006) and Edward M. Horant of PA; cherished grandfather of Kimberly Gilchrist-Amerkanian and her husband Darren of Wayne, Kevin Gilchrist and his wife Reina of Springfield, Kristen Gilchrist and her fiancé Tony Czapka of Wayne, Jennifer Horant and Lori Horant both of PA; much loved great-grandfather of Ryan, Kaylyn and Jack Amerkanian, Nicolas, Kyle and soon to arrive Victoria Gilchrist; loved brother of Dorothy Czesak of Wallington, the late Joseph(2005), Eleanor(1999) and Bernard(1938).
