James J. Nicoletti age 85 of Wayne on Saturday, April 18, 2009. His passing took place peacefully after receiving the loving care of his family who were constantly at his side.
He was born in Paterson and remained there until moving to Wayne in 1956, fifty- three years ago.
Jim served in the Army Air Force with the rank of Sergeant with the 757th AAF Base Unit during World War II. His service was in central Burma, China, and India supporting Burma Air Combat Missions. His particular expertise was communications where he expertly operated a telegraph to transmit Morse Codes. He was awarded the Asiatic Pacific Service Medal.
He was employed by the Spinelli Machine Corporation in Paterson where they manufactured precision parts for the aeronautical industry. He successfully managed the company until his retirement in 1986.
He was a parishioner of Our Lady of The Valley RC Church in Wayne. James is best described as a private, intelligent, hard-working, man who loved his family very much.
James enjoyed planning extensive rail trips and frequently toured the country with his wife, Marion, experiencing the wonders and beauty of our country first hand.
Dad leaves his large family with many fond memories of a loving husband, hard working father, caring grandfather and great grandfather. His children recall that he always took pride in their accomplishments and always gave them sound, thoughtful advice.
James was married to his beloved wife, Marion (nee Destromp) for sixty eight years. They had a “happy and devoted” marriage together until Marion’s passing, not quite one month ago, on March 21, 2009.
Surviving are six children including Barbara Lee and her husband Jeffrey of Conesus, NY, Joan Oberer and her husband Ernest of West Milford, Anthony Nicoletti and his wife Dori of Conway, SC, James Nicoletti and his wife Brennen of San Diego, CA, Judy Gorab and her husband James of West Milford and Frank Nicoletti and his wife Teri of Toms River, eleven grandchildren and five great grandchildren; two sisters Jess Bufardeci of Wayne and Diana Rizzo of Pompton Plains.
He was predeceased by a brother Frank, and his parents Antonio and Amelia of Paterson.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in James’ memory are asked to consider St. Jude Children’s Hospital, PO Box 50, Memphis, TN, 38101-0050.
