Harold D. Hlad, age 95, of the Packanack Lake section of Wayne, and formerly of Franklin Lakes, passed Tuesday, January 2, 2018.
Harold served in the US Army during WWII and was stationed in New Guinea and the Southern Philippines. After WWII, Harold entered and graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha under the G.I. Bill.
Harold will always be remembered as a very active, social, person, voracious reader, and an athlete. He was an athlete who played baseball for many years, tennis until he was about 70, and golf from age 65 to 85. For many years he enjoyed his many friendships and looked forward to the fellowship with the R.O.M.E.O.S. (Retired Old Men Eating Out Saturdays). He had a love for music, opera was his favorite, and always enjoyed the music of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. He was a member of Arcola Country Club in Paramus for over thirty years and a member of the Indian Trail Club in Franklin Lakes for many years.
Harold met his late wife Shirley while in college and they married on September 11, 1949. They enjoyed a loving and devoted marriage of fifty-two years before her passing in June of 2000.
Harold was the loving father of Carol Gross and her husband Kevin of Wyckoff, Robert Hlad of Fairfield, CT, and Nancy Moses and her husband Paul of N. Wales, PA; he was the cherished grandfather of Erin Dey (Christopher), Brian Gross (Kristina), B. Jackson Moses, Lauren Moses, and Jessica Hlad; and much loving companion of Marge Smith of Wayne.
