This is a short story of a man who’s health was in gradual decline attributed to multiple concerns. His passing can be viewed as a new day and a great relief, for himself, from a very difficult personal health experience. He is now in perfect tranquility.

Louis Lombardi Jr. age 67 of Wayne on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at the New Jersey Hospice Unit at Saint Josephs Hospital in Wayne. His passing was peaceful with his loving family at his bedside.

He was born in Jersey City and spent his formative years in Union City before moving to a country town called Wayne thirty-seven years ago. He received his formal education at Emerson High School in Union City.

Louis was a self employed entrepreneur having assumed the reins of his late father’s business known as Louis Lombardi & Son Trucking Company a Sanitation Business which operated in Hudson County. He started his work career as a very young boy helping his father and was a very hard worker.

Lou was gifted with an extraverted personality that sorted out his surrounding in perhaps a brisk no nonsense fashion that made him a respected leader.

He leaves his family with cherished memories of a very loving husband, father and grandfather. His family was always of primary importance to him and he expressed concern always for their well being. Thanks dad for being so special in our lives.

Lou and Mary Lee met with their families having summer homes on Lake Neepaulin in Sussex County. Lou was twenty-two years old and Mary Lee age fifteen and it has always been a family joke of who chased who. The end result of the chase we do know was a couple of “I Do’s” and forty-two years of “great marriage” together. Married life does not get any better than that.

He enjoyed the hobbies of deer and bear hunting and antique cars. He owned a very pristine 1957 Chevrolet convertible which won him many awards at car shows. He was a member of the Tri County Cruisers an antique car club.

Surviving are his loving wife Mary Lee (nee Vavrik) Lombardi; two sons Louis Lombardi and his wife Michelle of Woolwich Township, NJ, Michael A. Lombardi of Hopatcong and Danielle Lombardi and her fiancé Turk of Wayne; one sister Jean Addesso and her husband Joe of Wayne; four grandchildren Dominic, Gabriel, Joseph and Antonia Lombardi.

Those planning an expression of sympathy in Louis’ memory are asked to consider Hospice of New Jersey, 400 Broad Acres Drive, 4th Floor, Bloomfield, NJ 07003.
