Funeral arrangements were held privately under the direction of the Vander May Wayne Colonial Funeral Home Inc. 567 Ratzer Road, Wayne, NJ 07470.
Edward W. Bednarz Jr. age 61 of Wayne on Tuesday, December 8, 2009 at the Chilton Memorial Hospital. His passing was quiet and peaceful.
He was born in Paterson and the family lived in Rutherford and then moved to Wayne while he was a child. He received his formal education at Immaculate Heart of Mary Grammar School and then at Wayne Valley High School graduating with the Class of 1965.
Ed was gifted with a brilliant mind and was one of those students that knowledge just flowed to his mind without effort. He went on the Farleigh Dickinson University and later Uppsala University in South Orange. His major was pre med but somehow he kept changing his mind about his future and never graduated and did not complete a college degree.
His gift of intelligence included skills in the field of photography, playing the guitar and the game of chess. He enjoyed books and was well read.
For a period of time he was a foreman for Pinchal Metal Fabrication in Wayne who built metal buildings that included the toll booths on the Garden State Parkway and other locations..
Edward always lived at home with his mother whom he depended on for many years. It was a good arrangement for him because his mother’s love gave stability to his everyday life. It is a wonderful example of a mother’s love and perseverance over the great difficulties that Edward experienced.
His favorite pet was “Fritz” a schnauzer that he purchased at the local pet store and who kept Ed company and challenged his Mother’s housekeeping.
Surviving are his mother Bernice Bednarz of Wayne and is also of high intelligence with the alert thinking and communication skills of a much younger person.
He was predeceased by his father Edward W. Bednarz Sr. in 1984 and his brother David Bednarz in 1994.
