John Uhrynowich age 79 of North Caldwell died on Sunday, June 21, 2009 at home.
He was born and raised in Newark having lived in Belleville and Irvington before moving to North Caldwell thirty-one years ago.
John enlisted in the US Navy on March 29, 1949 and was honorably discharged on April 9, 1951 and served in the US Army Reserves until being honorably discharged in January of 1957.
He met the love of his life through neighborhood friends telling him Doris Egner though, he was cute. They went to a hot dog stand for their first date and, later in their relationship, he asked her to marry him while sitting in a car outside a hot dog stand in Newark. Doris remembers him proposing and then saying “I’ll make a good husband.” They married in Doris’ employer’s home in Irvington and set out for a honeymoon in Florida. Unfortunately the weather was snowy, rainy and icy and they spent their honeymoon in a hotel in Elizabeth. John was still in the service at this time so Doris moved in with his mother and grandmother where she learned to cook family favorites such as Pirogues, Kielbasa, stuffed cabbage and homemade bread. John would fondly remember and tell his children and grandchildren how he used to have to grind the horseradish on the back porch. To this day the grandchildren love these dishes.
John enjoyed playing cards, drinking his beer, telling jokes, and having his family around him. He was focused on providing for his wife and children working day and night shifts. As long as the family can remember he had two jobs Before retiring he was employed by the Wilbur B. Driver Company in Newark.
John is the beloved husband of Doris(Egner) Uhrynowich; loving father of Catherine Williams and her husband Robert of Wantage and John Uhrynowich and his wife Simone of Rockaway; cherished grandfather of Jessica Faber, Robert Williams, Jr, Johnny, Ryan and Jamie Uhrynowich.
