James J. Brady, III of Little Falls, died peacefully on Friday, July 31, 2015.
Born in Orange in 1944, “Jay” was the son of James and Janet Brady. He was a graduate of Saint Benedict's Preparatory School (class of 1962) and Seton Hall University (class of 1967). He was a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy with more than six years of active duty, where he served in the Mediterranean Sea on the USS Arcturus.
After the Navy, Jay joined his father in the successful family businesses: Brady Iron & Metal and Federal Salvage Corp. (both in Newark). In the early 1990’s, he opened Falls Screen Printing in Little Falls, where he was able to apply both his entrepreneurial and creative skills.
A longtime resident of Little Falls, Jay was an active member of the community, a friend of Bill W. and a member of Matt Talbot Group #38.
Jay cherished spending time with his family and always made them feel loved. He enjoyed going to classic car shows, collecting toy soldiers, antiquing and traveling with his wife, Mary Ellen. He was elated to be called “Papa” and spent many afternoons at the park with Mason, his adored grandson. He shared a love for poker with his daughter Jacqui, and was always talking about his favorite reality TV shows and movies with his daughter Jill. As the oldest child, he shared a very close bond with his two sisters, Meg and Maureen, and their families. An avid golfer, Jay was a longtime member of the Knoll Golf Club and enjoyed time hitting the links with his friends.
Jay is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Mary Ellen; his two daughters: Jill Brady of Little Falls and Jacquelyn Muniz (and husband Peter) of Totowa; grandson Mason Muniz; two sisters: Margaret Shultz of Little Falls and Maureen Groff (and husband John) of Punta Gorda, FL. He was predeceased by his parents, James and Janet Brady.
In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy in Jay’s name are asked to consider Joanne’s House at Hope Hospice, 27200 Imperial Parkway, Bonita Springs, FL 34135 or at donate.hopehcs.org.
