James E. Layden Sr. age 96 of Wayne died Wednesday, February 6, 2008 at the Atrium Health Care Center in Wayne.
He was born in Paterson and had lived his formative years in Paterson later living in Hawthorne before moving to Wayne forty-seven years ago.
He received his formal education a Paterson Grammar School No. 15, attended Paterson Central High School, then William Paterson University in Wayne and received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Physical Education from Florida Southern University in Lakeland, Florida.
He was employed at the Paterson Board of Education at School No. 3 and School No. 19 as a Physical Education Teacher before his retirement in 1976.
He was a parishioner of Saint Mary’s RC Church in Pompton Lakes.
Jim loved the game of golf and was a member of the Packanack Lake Golf Club for many years.
He leaves his family with many cherished memories of a loving and dedicated husband, father and grandfather. Dad was a true family man who was loving and devoted to his family and nurtured them even into adulthood. Perhaps the highlight of his family life was the arrival of grandchildren whom he loved with all of his heart.
Jim was gifted with an easy going nature coupled with a wonderful sense of humor that caused him to be fun to be with and resulted in many friendships.
Mary Claire and Jim had thirty-one years of “happy marriage” together until Mary’s passing in 1990.
Surviving are one daughter Kathleen Reynolds and her husband Eugene of Wayne; two sons James Layden and his wife Joan of Pacific Palisades, California and Robert Layden of Wayne.; seven grandchildren Katie, Mary and Annie Layden, Mary Beth, Claire, Meghan and Kelly Reynolds.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in James’ memory are asked to consider Alzheimers Association-Greater NJ 400 Morris Avenue, Suite 251, Denville, NJ 07834
