Heinz Jauch, age 92 of the Packanack Section of Wayne, passed peacefully on Friday, May 8, 2015.

Heinz was born November 4, 1922 in the Black Forest region of Germany in the town of Schwenningen to Ernst and Marie Jauch. As a young child, Heinz’s parents, in pursuit of the “American Dream” emigrated to the USA. The family settled in Brooklyn, where Heinz’s two younger sisters, Rosie and Elsie were born.

Heinz graduated from Boys High – a high school for gifted young men located in the Bronx. He went on for further study at City College in Manhattan where he earned a bachelor’s degree at the age of nineteen. Shortly afterwards, Heinz was called into the service of his country. He proudly served as a soldier of the U.S. Army during World War II with tours of duty in England, Germany and the Pacific Theater. Upon his return from war, Heinz took advantage of the government sponsored GI Bill which enabled him to pursue and earn his master’s degree at New York University.

Heinz’s life centered around work and family. He met the love of his life, Toni Weiglein at a dance hall in the Germantown section of New York City. They married in 1950, settling in Brooklyn, where they started their family. In 1958 the family moved to the Packanack Lake Section of Wayne. Heinz and Toni were blessed with five children. Their home was the center of the extended family with weekly Sunday dinners and holiday celebrations including grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. In addition to family gatherings, favorite family memories include the annual camping trips to Florida.

Once the children were grown, Heinz continued to want to travel, especially to his beloved Florida Keys, but he no longer wanted to “rough it”. He purchased 14 weeks of time share, and he and Toni traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe making many more wonderful memories for themselves and family.

Heinz was an accomplished and successful financial analyst. His career spanned 50 years and during that time he worked for the likes of Merrill Lynch, Hayden Stone Securities, and The New York Port Authority. During the early part of his career Heinz worked full-time while also pursuing his doctorate. He earned his PH.D. in Economics from Columbia University in 1955.

In 1962, Heinz became a graduate college professor at Pace University, where he taught for thirty years. In addition to teaching doctoral candidates and assisting many students in obtaining scholarships, Heinz was head of Pace’s Information Systems department and helped established the school’s first computer lab. Pace University honored Heinz citing his many years of dedication as a “teacher and advisor of countless students” and as a “ tower of strength to his associates in their mutual academic endeavors”.

Heinz’s avocation and vocation were truly one. He was ahead of his time regarding the role computers would play in society. Heinz spent all his free time in his home office working on computers. He wrote and developed his own computer language: RON (Reorganization of Numbers) and used this language to start Data Store, a company which utilized his unique database library to track the utility and airline industries. He continued this work well into his eighties.

While blest with what seemed like unending talent, Heinz’s greatest love was for his wife and family. In his later years, his grandchildren were the light of his life. Nothing made him happier than a visit from a grandchild, unless it was a bowl of ice cream. While he cherished all of his grandchildren equally, he played very much of a father role for his grandchildren Kibria and Tonia.

Heinz was a loving, intelligent, innovative and a strong–willed man, who lived life on his own terms and followed the beat of his own drummer. He taught his children and grandchildren a strong sense of responsibility, family, individualism and to think and be true to themselves. He will truly be missed.

Heinz is survived by Toni, his beloved wife of 65 years, four children: Ralph and wife Anula Jauch of Iraq, Stefanie Golam of Wayne, Walter and wife Cathy Jauch of Jefferson, and Donald and wife Cathleen Jauch of Dingmans Ferry, PA; eight cherished grandchildren: Kibria, Samantha, Thomas, Daniel, Nicholas, Tonia, Madison, and Peter; and his dear sister Elsie Huegel of Wayne.

He was predeceased by his dear son Peter, his dear sister Rosie Jauch, and his dear son-in-law Kibria Golam.

In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy in Heinz’s name are asked to contribute to a charity of your choice.
