George M. Fallon, age 75 of Stockholm, NJ, died on Wednesday, January 18, 2023. He has lived in Stockholm since 1987.
George had worked as an inspector for the United States Postal Service in Manhattan during the 1980’s. He was very tech-savvy and began building websites in the 1990’s which led to a second career with Lucent Technologies in Whippany. He retired from Lucent in 2013.
George grew up in the Packanack Lake section of Wayne, graduating from Wayne High School with the class of 1965. Soon there after he joined the Marine Corps and served during the Vietnam War. He was an active member of the Vietnam Veterans Association in Kenvil, very patriotic, and remained a proud Marine throughout his lifetime. In his free time, George enjoyed wood turning, fly-tying and fishing, and he really loved keeping a vegetable garden. Music was also an important part of his life having played the Irish drum and sang with The Kindred Spirits band at Sullivan’s Irish Pub for several years
While working at the Post Office in Manhattan, George met Betsy Knicos and it was love at first sight. George’s marriage proposal was unique, indeed; he was sitting on the couch while Betsy was nearby ironing. He looked at her and asked “do you want to get married?” The rest is history; they exchanged vows in Hardyston and had a reception at Jorgenson’s Inn on Rt. 23. They’ve enjoyed thirty-one years in a loving and fun marriage, and Betsy will miss him dearly.
George is survived by his wife, Betsy (nee Knicos) of Stockholm, NJ, one sister; Maureen Ferrara of Wayne, NJ, his brother; William Fallon, Jr. of Spruce Creek, FL, sister-in-law Anita Knicos, nieces Katie Macones and Amanda Fallon and nephews Chuck and Joe Ferrara and also eight much loved grand nieces and nephews. He was pre deceased by his father William (1981), mother Ellen (2012) and sister Paddy (2019).
