Emil J. “Mel” Polito age 73 of Wayne died Monday, January 21, 2008, peacefully, at the Chilton Memorial Hospital, Pompton Plains.
He was born in Jersey City and lived in Paramus and Anderson, S.C. before moving to Wayne six years ago.
He graduated from the Lincoln High School, Jersey City with the class of 1952 and attended Fairleigh Dickinson University, Rutherford as a Chemistry major.
Emil was a United States Air Force Veteran of the Korean War.
Emil was a packaging engineer having worked for Schmid Labs, Little Falls and Anderson, S.C. before retiring in 1998. Previously he was employed by the American Cyanamid Corporation, Wayne, Boyle Midway Corporation, Cranford and the Lever Brothers Corporation, Edgewater.
He was a quiet man who was an avid reader and enjoyed golf. He was a true “family man” and when salesman asked him to go out to dinner he would say “no…that is time I spend with my family.” He was a good cook, especially deserts, and was known for making a wonderful Buche Noel log. He also enjoyed making pizza, a tradition his sons Emil Jr. and Frank have also embraced.
He is the beloved husband of forty-six years to Carol (Holzl) Polito; loving father of Margaret Sabino and her husband Joseph of Pompton Plains, Emil J. Polito, Jr and his wife Kathy of Lawrenceburg, IN, Frank C. Polito and his wife Bonnie of Franklin Park; cherished grandfather of Paul Sabino, Ian Polito and Anya Polito; brother of Joanne Noon of Lodi, Nina Jindela and her husband George of Parsipanny, Nicholas Polito and his wife Jean of Egg Harbor, and the late Rosemary Lewis and Frank Polito.
