John T. Makowski age 77 of Wayne died Friday, November 9, 2007 at the Care One Health Care Center in Wayne. His passing was quiet and peaceful.
He was born in Lyndhurst and had lived his formative years there and he later lived in Rutherford before moving to Wayne forty years ago.
John received his formal education at Lyndhurst High School graduating with the Class of 1948. He then went to Farleigh Dickinson University in Rutherford where he received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration. He also went to New York University in New York City where he received a Masters Degree in Business Administration.
He was employed as a Sales Manager for National Starch Company in Bridgwater, NJ where he worked for forty-three years before his retirement in 1996. After his retirement he established his own business known as J.T.M. Associates Food Brokers located in Wayne, NJ. His company was very successful and dealt in starches, tropical fruit juices, flavors and spices.
He was a parishioner of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Wayne.
John simply loved life and lived his life to the fullest. He was very devoted to his family. He was a good provider who nurtured his children’s lives, encouraged them in their educations and took them on many wonderful vacations every year.
His travels where to many areas including South America, Europe, Asia and many other places.
He loved domesticity even though he traveled. At home he was Mr. Mom and did the food shopping, cooking and gardening. He loved being busy and was good at whatever he endeavored to do.
His gardening was one of his favorite activities and his flowers were very beautiful.
Florica and John had a “very happy” marriage together for six years. John’s first wife of thirty-nine years was taken ill and passed away. On one of his trips he was in the country of Rumania and met Florica and fell in love. He married her and they had a very happy life together.
Surviving are his loving wife Florica (nee Rontea) Makowski; two sons John Brian Makowski and his wife Dale of North Reading, Massachusetts and Glenn Joseph Makowski MD and his wife Joniece of Texas; one step son Peter Rontea of Lowell, Massachusetts, one sister Alice Sowizral of Wayne; his sister in law Clarice Makowski of North Arlington.
He was predeceased by his first wife Dorothy Makowski and his brother Arthur Makowski.
