Emmett Salvatore age 79 of Wayne died Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at the Saint Clare’s Hospital in Dover. His passing was quiet and peaceful while he was receiving the loving care of his family who were at his bedside.
He was born in Newark and lived in Wayne for the past fifty two years.
Emmett spent his formative years in Newark where he went to Barringer High School graduating with the Class of 1948.
He served in the Army from 1952 to 1954 in Germany as part of the Army of occupation. When he was discharged from the service in 1954 he became a Police Officer on the Newark Police Department where he worked for fifteen years. He later was employed at Union Carbide as a Mechanic and then at Carrier Corporation in Florham Park before his retirement in 1991.
Emmett leaves his family with many warm and fond memories of a loving husband, father, brother and grandfather. He was gifted with a marvelous sense of humor that brought delight to those whom he socialized with.
Emmett and Catherine Ricci met at a dance at the YMCA in Newark and declared to Catherine that he did not dance. Well before long they became a couple and married on August 10, 1952 at Saint Lucy’s RC Church in Newark. Their honeymoon took place in the Pocono’s. They had fifty-six years of “good marriage that embraced good communication”.
For hobbies he enjoyed hunting small game and fishing both in the ocean and fresh water.
Surviving are his loving wife Catherine (nee Ricci) Salvatore; three daughters Carol Salvatore of Wayne, Catherine Diana and her husband Robert of Vernon, Linda Van Der Veen and her husband Bill of Wanaque; one son Nicholas Salvatore and his Fiancé’ Roxanne Zappile of Oakland; three sisters Alma Pollock of Fairfield, Dolores Shenocca of Roseland and Shiela Borgos of Mount Laurel; four grandchildren Nicole, Jade, Brendan and Aubrey Diana all of Vernon.
He was predeceased by his sister Angela Eckert, his parents Olympia and Nicholas Salvatore.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Emmett’s memory are asked to consider Saint Jude’s Children’s Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105-2729.
