Kenneth Schneeloch “Schnee” on Thursday, March 6, 2008 of Packanack Lake, Wayne. His passing was quiet and peaceful after a very courageous battle with his health. He had his loving family at his side.
He was born in Brooklyn, New York where he lived his formative years before moving to Packanack Lake forty-seven years ago.
Ken received his formal education at Polytechnic Preparatory School in Brooklyn, NY graduating with the Class of 1946. He then went on to study at Union College in Schenectady, New York for two years.
From 1951 to 1953, Ken served in the United States Army during the Korean War, where he earned two Bronze Stars and the United Nations Service Medal.
His life work was with Newland, Schneeloch and Piek Importers and later Sone China Company both located in New York City. The company imported fine China and Glass from around the world for the United States market. He retired from work in 2001.
He was the New York Giants number one fan. He also had a green thumb and enjoyed gardening. On the domestic side he possessed culinary skills and enjoyed barbecuing.
Ken loved his family and leaves them with wonderful memories of a very loving husband, father and grandfather who was always there for his family.
“Schnee” loved a party and his personality was tailored for sociability. He was affable and gregarious and would often find himself the life of the party.
Elly and Ken had fifty-one years of “loving best friends” marriage together. They first met at Breezy Point Beach Club in Brooklyn and Elly swept him off of his feet and they became a couple shortly thereafter.
Surviving are his loving wife Eleanor (nee Mathews) Schneeloch; one daughter Nancy Schneeloch and her friend James; three sons Kenneth Schneeloch Jr. and his wife Nancy of Packanack Lake, James Schneeloch and his wife Diane of Glastonbury, Connecticut and Andrew Schneeloch and his wife Lynda of Holliston, Massachusetts; one brother Paul Schneeloch Jr. and his wife Jan of Williamsburg, Virginia; eight grandchildren Marissa, Kevin, Ryan, Samantha, Mark, Andrew Jr., Zachary and Christian Kenneth Schneeloch.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Kenneth’s memory are asked to consider The Make a Wish Foundation, 1034 Salem Road, Union, New Jersey 07083 and/or Saint Mary’s RC Church, 17 Pompton Avenue, Pompton Lakes, NJ 07442.
