John J. Breitenkamm age 72 of Wayne died Sunday, July 27, 2008 at the Wayne View Nursing Home in Wayne. His passing took place quietly and peacefully with his loving family at his bedside.
He was born in Paterson where he spent his formative years before moving to Wayne forty-six years ago.
John received his formal education at Paterson Grammar School No. 2 and at Passaic County Vocational High School where he majored in Building Construction.
He spent his work career as a Union Carpenter as a member of Carpenters Union Local 124 in Paterson where he worked for forty-five years until his retirement in 2001.
He was a parishioner of the Our Lady of Consolation RC Church in Wayne.
John had a special affinity for television weather reports and watching his favorite baseball team the New York Yankees. If he wasn’t glued to the television he was out in the yard raking, shoveling or doing whatever needed to be done around the house. He was a tireless worker at whatever task he took on.
He was exceptionally dedicated to his wife, his son and daughter. His devotion and concern for his family was exemplary. His daughter Laura recalls when she went to school in Long Island how her father drove her there and often waited until she was done with her classes and brought her back home. He also applied his skills for the benefit of his son John and helped him build his own home.
Laura and John had fifty-one years of “loving marriage” together.
Surviving are his loving wife Laura (nee Zisa) Breitenkamm; one son John Joseph Breitenkamm of Wayne; one daughter Laura Michelle Breitenkamm of Wayne; one sister Anna DiLella and her husband Dante of Totowa and one very special and cherished grandson Sammy Breitenkamm of Wayne and several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by two brothers Joseph Breitenkamm who was killed in World War II in 1943 in the Aleutian Islands in the Pacific and Henry Breitenkamm in 2008.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in John’s memory are asked to consider Michael J. Fox Foundation “For Parkinson's Research”, Grand Central Station, PO Box 4777, New York, NY 10163.
