John Jules Levine, age 54, of North Haledon passed peacefully on Thursday, September 4, 2014 after an unfortunate recent fall.
John was born in Paterson and had been a lifelong resident of North Haledon. He enjoyed twenty-five years of marriage to his beloved wife Jacqueline (nee Voag) and was the loving father of Jennifer Anneliese Levine and Jesse Jules Levine, both also of North Haledon. He was the son of the late Robert H. Levine (1969) and Shirley Stapleton Levine, now of Madison, WI.
John graduated from local schools and earned a BS degree from Allegheny College in 1982. He was employed for twenty-three years as a quality control manager with BASF of Linden followed by four years as plant manager with Ronson Corporation of Woodbridge. Most recently, while interviewing for other positions, he worked for Nicholas Markets in his hometown of North Haledon.
John’s interests were wide-ranging. He loved American history, especially learning anything he could about Abraham Lincoln or World War II aircraft. An exercise buff, he bicycled regularly over a ten-to-twenty mile route and he was also a second-degree black belt. On Sunday afternoons, John loved going for rides in his classic 1966 Volkswagen Bug. Pals from grammar school days including Tom Behnke, Pat Cleary, Kevin Topp and Joe Capozza, remember John’s dry wit and the four of them, along with their wives, will cherish many wonderful memories.
Even in his passing, John’s generous spirit shined as he chose to give the gift of life by being an organ donor through the NJ Sharing Network (NJSharingNetwork.org).
Surviving, in addition to his beloved wife, and dear children and mother, are his brother Robert S. and wife Claire L. Levine of Wayne; three sisters: Margery A. Levine of Haledon, Elizabeth L. Schmitz of Pacific Grove, CA and Marianne S. Levine of Watsonville, CA; and other close family members including: Robert (Lori) Voag of Magnolia, TX, Carl (Maryanne)Voag of Highland Lakes, Dawn (Charles) Dunn of Hamburg and Robin Voag of North Haledon.
In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy in John’s name are asked to consider a donation made to “Care of the Levine Family.” Checks may be sent to Valley National Bank 516 Wanaque Ave Pompton Lakes, NJ 07442.
