LeRoy Sullivan Gardner, Jr. age 76 of Wayne died Monday, March 10, 2008 at the Saint Josephs Wayne Hospital, Wayne.
He was born in Clifton and lived in Hawthorne and Hewitt before moving to Wayne twenty-seven years ago.
LeRoy graduated from Clifton High School with the class of 1949.
He ran a hosiery machine for two and one half years for Shear Delight Hosiery, Paterson and had worked for two and one half years for Dumont TV, Elmwood Park and six years at the McGlen & Hayes Corporation, Nutley before accepting a job as a maintenance machinist for the Morris Paper Board Corporation, Paterson where he worked for twenty-seven years. Just one year before his retirement in 1993, he put his machinist skills to work helping minimize the seams in chocolate castings by altering chocolate molds for the SRC Chocolate Factory, Paterson.
LeRoy was an avid hunter of deer, quail, pheasant and other small game and also enjoyed fresh water fishing.
He was a “Mr. Fix-it” around the house who used his machinist talents to build parts for just about anything. He also enjoyed building furniture pieces, that would fit into locations just perfectly, for his wife Janice.
He was the beloved husband of twenty-four years to Janice (Catalano) Gardner; loving father of Robert L. Gardner of West Milford, Laura LaBosco of West Milford and the late Linda Garrison Bossard (2001); cherished grandfather of Alesha LaBosco, Jessica LaBosco, Leigh Garrison Baker, Farrah Garrison Slamiak, Jennifer Garrison, Thomas Garrison III, Robert L. Gardner, Jr., and Melisa Gardner; much loved great-grandfather of Brittany Baker, Andrew Baker, Gage Garrison and Ryan Slamiak.
