John J. Dulhagen, age 84, of Paramus, formerly of Hasbrouck Heights, died Sunday, March 2, 2008 at the State of New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home, Paramus.

He was born and raised in Jersey City and lived in Hasbrouck Heights before moving to Paramus four years ago.

John served as a pilot and commanding officer of the US Navy and was a veteran of WWII and Korea. He had certifications as an Airship Pilot (blimp) and an Air ASW (Anti-Submarine Warfare) officer. Having served in the Navy for twenty years, 1944 – 1964, he received the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal; American Defense Service Medal and the National Defense Service Medal.

After his service in the Navy, John began a career with Standard Tool Manufacturing Company, Lyndhurst. At his retirement in 1984 he was the company’s director of Industrial Relations.

John was your stereotypical Navy man. His posture was militaristic and his demeanor was very proper. He enjoyed driving, loved sports, was very proud of his Navy career and loved to hear of his grandchildren’s accomplishments.

Devoted son of the late John and Mary (Henyecz) Dulhagen (John’s step mother); his loving mother Susan(Vanachen) Dulhagen predeceased him when he was seven years old; beloved father of John Dulhagen and his late wife Dorothy(2007) of Largo, FL, Mark Dulhagen and his wife Kathy of Hasbrouck Heights, Kevin Dulhagen and his wife Barbara of Oviedo, FL, Keith Dulhagen and his wife Maureen of Wayne and the late Catherine(1975) Dulhagen; cherished grandfather of Mark, Megan, Kevin, Kayla, Jason, Jesse, Jamie and Jodi Dulhagen.
