John (Dutch) Hohnarth age 86, a 63 year resident of Wayne, passed peacefully on Saturday, December 21, 2013.

He was raised in Clifton and came to Wayne in 1950. John was a Navy Veteran of WWII having served on the flight deck of the USS Tarawa.

He worked for Moon Carrier in Clifton for thirty years and then MGM Trucking in Wayne for over ten years before retiring in 1990.

He was a charter member of the Wayne Elks 2181, Friend of Preakness Reformed Church in Wayne, Golden Age Circle of Wayne, Rand Rod Gun Club of Clifton, the Italian American Club of Clifton and the Hinchman Ave McDonalds Breakfast Club.

John was an avid hunter and fisherman. He had the outgoing kind of personality that endeared him to everyone. He was a “Mr. Fix It” that had a wide range of skill and knowledge from changing your oil to having a “guy” who could get you the best price on tires.

John was the loving husband of 52 years to the late Ellen (Butler) Hohnarth (2001); devoted father of Donna Van Lenten of Hamburg, Debra Hennig and her husband Mark of Wayne, and Jane Deyden and her husband Bob of Pompton Plains; cherished grandfather of 8 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; loved brother of Harold Hohnarth of Toms River, and the late Fran Stidel and Doris McDermott.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Elks Camp Moore, 4 Susquehanna Ave., Haskell, NJ 07420 would be appreciated.
