Frank John Geusic age 87 of Wayne died Monday, December 21, 2009 at the Hospice of New Jersey, peacefully with the comfort of his family by his side.
Frank was born in Lansford, PA where he graduated as Salutatorian from the Lansford High School, Lansford, PA with the Class of 1940. He enlisted in the United States Navy on July 5, 1943 and was honorably discharged on January 8, 1946 having attained the rank of Aviation Machinist’s Mate First Class. He was a terrific dancer and met the love of his life Mary Rose Mulhearn at a Big Band dance in Pennsylvania. They married on October 29, 1949 at St Geromes Church, Tamaqua, PA and honeymooned in Chicago, Ill. Frank was a true gentleman and so loved Mary that he doted on her every chance he got. He would take her shopping, the beauty parlor, actually everywhere - to the point that she never bothered got her drivers license. They have enjoyed sixty years of a loving and nurturing marriage.
Frank was a founding member of Our Lady of the Valley Church, Wayne where he was a dedicated parishioner and he was a life long member of the Wayne Elks.
His first employment was in the coal mines in and around Lansford, Pennsylvania. He moved to Wayne, NJ and gained employment with Sam Braen’s quarry in Haledon. He later worked for the Tilcon Corporation, Prospect Park until retiring in 1985. He remained on as a consultant for two more years before fully retiring.
He was the beloved husband of Mary Rose (Mulhearn) Geusic; loving father of Helen Petruska and her husband Mike of Wayne and Stephen Geusic and his wife Lynn of Wayne; cherished grandfather of Michael Petruska and his wife Sandy, Eric Petruska and his wife Deanna, Jared Petruska, Brittany Geusic and Stephen Geusic, Jr.; much loved great-grandfather of Madelyn Grace Petruska and Olivia Rose Petruska; loved brother of the late Theresa Palovchak, Monsignor Stephen Geusic and Joseph Geusic.
