Services
Funeral Services were held at the Holland Christian Home, North Haledon. Arrangements by Vander May Wayne Colonial Funeral Home, 567 Ratzer Road, Wayne, NJ.
J. Warren Beardsley, age 89 of Wayne, died peacefully on Sunday, September 16, 2012 with loving family by his side.
Born in Orange, Warren lived in Newark and West Orange before moving to Wayne in 1955.
Mr. Beardsley was a chief switchman for NJ Bell Telephone where he worked for forty two years before retiring in 1985. He was a member of the Telephone Pioneers of America.
As a member of The Methodist Men Club, Warren served in planning the building of the United Methodist Church of Wayne on Parish Drive and remained a member of the church all these years. He was also a member of the Old Guard of Caldwell and the West Orange Livingston Masonic Lodge Number 208.
Warren served this great country in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II in India as a photo technician and was a member of the China-Burma-India Veterans Association. During his service he was the recipient of the Asiatic-Pacific Theater Ribbon, the Good Conduct Medal and the Victory Medal.
Warren’s greatest joys were traveling all over the United States with his family in their travel trailer and spending time with his two adored granddaughters…..MaryEllyn and Erin. At the time of his passing, he was looking forward to the arrival of his first great-grandchild, due any day now! When at home, he enjoyed wood-working in his shop. A desk which he made still sits proudly in the living-room of his home.
Surviving are his son Andrew Beardsley of Wayne; his daughter Jean Jamieson and husband Paul of Greenville, SC; his brother George Beardsley of Citrus Springs, FL and two granddaughters: MaryEllyn and Erin. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Miriam in 1985.
