Harold “Timer” Peer age 89 of Wayne died, Monday, October 25, 2010, suddenly with the comfort of family by his side.
He was born and raised on Ryle Park Avenue in West Paterson having lived in the Mountain View Section of Wayne since 1949.
Harold began working as a plumber’s helper with his father’s company, Edward Peer Plumbing in West Paterson when he was just a young boy. He worked side by side with his father until his retirement when Harold took over the company and changed the name to Harold Peer Plumbing, Wayne. Having retired at the age of seventy he was a plumber for over fifty years.
Harold met his future wife, Pauline Rusin, on a front porch in Singac. After dating for a while Pauline would say to him “let’s get married” and Harold would simply wait for the topic to go away. Eventually Harold proposed to Pauline and she said she wasn’t sure. She soon said yes and they married on February 10, 1946.
Harold built his own home and was truly content there. He loved life, wanted for nothing, and was a true local history buff. He was a member of the Little Falls Historical Society, enjoyed old maps, metal detecting for artifacts, and has found many local Indian artifacts. It was said he should have been a history teacher he loved it so much. He was even in the process of writing a book regarding the Naval Rifle Range, Caldwell Township(Fairfield, NJ) which will be on display at the visitation hours.
He was the beloved husband of sixty-four years to Pauline (Rusin) Peer; loving father of Barbara Jean Hatrak and her husband Michael of Columbus, and Denise VanVlaanderen and her husband Robert of Hawthorne; cherished grandfather of Deanna and Matthew Hatrak and Jade and Codi VanVlaanderen; brother to seven siblings.
