Jacob “Jack” Galloway, age 52 of Kinnelon, died unexpectedly on Friday, March 13, 2009.
He grew up in Prospect Park, graduating from Manchester High School in 1974. He had been living in Kinnelon for the past nineteen years and was employed with Givaudan in East Hanover.
Jack enjoyed the outdoors; fishing, landscaping, toiling in his vegetable garden, camping or simply going to the beach in Wildwood. He enjoyed many summer vacations on Lake George and Lake Champlain. He was a big Giants fan, and “the best neighbor” you could ever ask for; always willing and able to help. He was Vice President of the Lake Edenwold Association in Butler and you could count on him to handle all the grilling at the annual lake party. Jack loved to cook and he was very good at it.
Jack met his wife Patricia while bowling at T-Bowl in Wayne. They enjoyed nearly 26 years of a “fun-loving” marriage together. The birth of their daughter Kristie turned Jack into a big teddy bear. He absolutely adored Kristie and loved every minute of being her dad.
He will be dearly missed by his beloved wife Patricia (nee Jachera) and his daughter Kristie Galloway of Kinnelon, his mother-in-law Wyn Jachera of Wayne, brother-in-laws Michael Jachera and his wife Holly of Scotch Plains and Steven Jachera and his wife Antonella of Lincoln Park, a sister-in-law; Linda Feldman and her husband Peter of Wayne, and his Uncle Orie and Aunt Netty Kros of Clifton, as well as many more family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, friends are asked to consider donations to help with his daughter Kristie’s education. Please make donations to Kristie Galloway and mail the c/o Vander May Funeral Home, 567 Ratzer Road, Wayne, NJ 07470.
