Kenneth M. Relovsky, age 83, of Towaco, passed away peacefully in the comfort of his own home on Sunday, March 6, 2022, while receiving the loving care of his family.
Born in Jersey City and raised in West New York, NJ, Ken was the third born son of John and Mary (Rajniak) Relovsky. A 1956 graduate of Memorial High School in West New York, he starred in football and baseball for his school and was named an All-State catcher, who was approached by the Brooklyn Dodgers to play pro ball.
After high school, Ken went to work for the Ford Motor Company. He started on the assembly line and was promoted over the course of his 46 year career with Ford to warehouse manager in their parts division in Teterboro, NJ. As warehouse manager, Ken engineered a sophisticated parts sorting system which dramatically reduced delivery turnaround time from parts facility to assembly plants. While at Ford, Ken joined the National Guard, earning the rank as sergeant and proudly served as an armor crewman.
Ken was the beloved husband of Clare Fogarty, married January 28, 1961 at St. Joseph’s Church in West New York. They settled in Little Ferry then moved to Towaco, where they lived and raised their family for 47 years.
Ken was blessed in marriage for 61 years. He was the most loving father of: Randy Relovsky and wife Carmen Peralta, Maryann Chavez and husband Cesar, Deborah Ann Zegler and husband Curt, and Kevin Relovsky and wife Mindy; adoring grandfather of eleven grandchildren: Victoria, Kenneth, Ashley, Jasmine, Nicole, Alex, Caitlin Emily, Jordan, Sarah, and Jackson; and dear uncle of numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his three brothers: Thomas, Arthur and Robert Relovsky.
Ken was tough, hardworking, smart, loyal, and dedicated husband, father, son, brother, uncle, friend, and employee.
