Henry Paul Tantow age 85 of Wayne passed away peacefully on Tuesday February 13, 2018 in the presence of and while receiving the loving care of his family.
Henry was born and raised in Berlin Germany. After graduating High School, Henry learned the trade of a machinist. In the early 1950’s Henry and one of his friends decided that they would seek a better life and the American Dream and immigrated to the United States. Henry was not able to get into the United States at first so he was living in Canada for about one year so that he could raise enough money to enter the US.
When Henry finally entered the US he settled in New York City. There he found a job as a machinist with the Schaefer Brewing Corp. He worked with Schaefer for seven or eight years until the company eventually closed. Henry then earned a position again as a machinist with the Anheuser-Busch Corp located in Newark, NJ. He worked there for many years until his retirement in 1998.
While attending an event at the Wayne Manor in Wayne, NJ he met a women by the name of Susan Carino. They went out for some dinner and dated for about three years. As fate would have it they fell in love and were married on July 28, 1990. After getting married they settled in West Orange where they lived for ten years until eventually moving to Wayne in the year 2000. Henry and Susan owned a condominium in Cape Coral Florida where they would spend their winters. He was also a member of the Elks Lodge in Cape Coral, Florida. Henry enjoyed traveling, especially to Europe and the Caribbean. He enjoyed fishing and creating arts and crafts particularly with sea shells. He also enjoyed dancing and was quite a good cook.
His family remembers him as kindhearted and being able to make people laugh. One of his memorable moments was meeting Henny Youngman. Aside from all of henry’s interests and talents, his greatest passion was for his family. Nothing meant more to Henry than spending time with his family. Henry was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He touched the lives of many people and will be sincerely missed by his family and friends alike.
Henry is survived by his wife Susan (nee Carino) of Wayne, three sons Jeffrey Tantow and his wife Virginia of Port Reading, Eric Sandsmark, and Kirk Sandmark and his wife Tara of Vernon, daughter; Melissa and husband Herbert, eight grandchildren; Jeffrey, Ryan, Jason, Kirk, Karley, Katelynn, Sarah, and Taylor, two great-grandchildren; Dominic, and Kyhlye, his sister-in-law Rosemary Klingen and her husband Jack of Dacono, CO, his nephew Jack Klingen and his niece Jill Hasting.
