Louis Senzamici, age 79, of Paterson and Toms River, NJ, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, January 22, 2017.
Louis was born and raised in Paterson. After graduating from Central High School in Paterson with the Class of 1956, Louis began a job as in the engineering department with the County of Passaic. His career was temporarily interrupted when he was drafted in to the U.S. Army. Stationed in Thailand, he proudly served and attained the rank of Corporal during his tour of duty from 1960 to 1962. After being honorable discharged, he served an additional four years in the U.S. Army Reserve.
Upon his return from Army duty, Louis returned to his position with the County of Passaic Road Department. He enjoyed a forty-two year career and was head of the department from 1991 until retirement in 1999.
Louis was a proud member of the Republican Party who worked enthusiastically and tirelessly in support of the Passaic County Freeholders. He would often go to Trenton and represent his party at the county level, and he was frequently involved in breakfast, dinner and cocktail party fundraisers. One of his proudest moments was when he was named to be a delegate to the 1980 Republican National Convention – the year that Ronald Reagan was elected to become the 40th President of the United States.
It was in 1992 that Louis met his beloved companion Claudia Geers at a fundraising dinner for the county freeholders. They went on to enjoy each other’s love and companionship for the next 25 years especially enjoying travel together to destinations such as Aruba, several countries in Europe and, during the last four years, on cruises to Greece, Spain, Italy, Mallorca, and Turkey. They loved the cruises because they quickly learned that they only had to pack once versus taking bus trips where they had to unpack and repack for each destination. Louis also loved his beach house that he purchased in 1985 in Chadwick Beach, located in Toms River. He was always involved with the Chadwick Beach Association, formerly serving three years each as Vice-President and President, and presently as a Trustee of Building and Grounds.
Louis had a very special relationship with his great-nephews: Kevin, Luke, and Connor. He took a genuine interest in their lives, always looking forward to seeing them, and he was present for many occasions like their baptisms, confirmations as well as holidays when he loved to spoil them.
Extremely outgoing, Louis was a friend of many. While he pulled no punches and you always knew his thoughts on any given issue, he was extremely loyal and always there to help when needed.
Predeceased by his loving parents Antonio and Angelina Senzamici, Louis was the dear brother of Anthony and wife Eleanor Senzamici of Bergenfield; cherished uncle of Anthony and wife Maureen Senzamici, and Mark Senzamici; adored great-uncle of Kevin, Luke, and Connor Senzamici, and long-time beloved companion of Claudia Geers of Wayne.
In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy in Louis’ name are asked to consider a charity of your choice.
