Eugene J. Reynolds, age 86 of Toms River, NJ died on Sunday, January 9, 2011.
Gene was born in Manhattan and grew up in Our Lady of Victory Parish in Brooklyn, NY. After marrying he lived in Park Slope until 1962 when he and his wife Mary moved to Marine Park. In 1994 they retired to Toms River, NJ and wintered in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Gene earned his B.B.A. degree from Pace Institute in Manhattan and began a lengthy career as an auditor. He worked in the insurance industry before becoming an auditor with the State of New York. Gene proudly served in the U.S. Army during World War II. Inducted at the age of eighteen, he served for more than two and a half years and was honorably discharged in 1946.
In 1948, Gene met Mary Crowley at a Sunday afternoon Knights of Columbus dance in Park Slope. A year later they were married. They enjoyed nearly sixty two loving years together. They took family vacations in the Catskills, at the Jersey shore, and later spent summers at the beach in Breezy Point.
Gene was a quick-witted and friendly man who could be serious when he needed to be, and always watched out for the entire family’s well-being. He was extremely organized, as would be expected of an auditor, and especially loved to listen to his Irish music. In his later years Gene enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, reading to them and playing games. He loved his grandchildren very much and they will all miss him dearly.
Gene is survived by his wife of sixty one years, Mary of Toms River. Gene is also survived by his son Eugene and wife Kathleen, and their children Mary Beth, Claire, Meghan, and Kelly, of Wayne; his son Michael and wife Joyce, and their children Michael, Cara, and Colleen, of Clifton, and their daughter Jennifer Sailer and husband Craig of Rutherford; his daughter Maureen Lynn and husband Timothy, and their children Katherine, Brian, and Kevin, of Nanuet, NY; and one brother, James Reynolds and wife Peggy of Toms River. He is predeceased by his brother Thomas and sisters Mary Mullen and Anne.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to The Cancer Institute at NYU Langone Medical Center Melanoma Research Program would be appreciated.
