Martin E. Laschet, “Marty”, of Wayne, NJ passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Friday, October 13th, 2023, at the age of 93.
Marty was born and raised in New York City, where he was married to his wife, Ann, and had four beautiful children. In 1964 the family moved to the Pines Lake community in Wayne, New Jersey.
He was a U.S. Army veteran serving before the outbreak of the Korean War. He worked and retired from Bendix Aviation as an electronics technician until 1996. His accomplishments include working on the electronics systems on the STS-1 for the Space Shuttle, for which he received commendation.
Martin was always quick with a joke and had an interesting sense of humor to all that knew him. He would always listen to what you had to say, give advice, and his honest opinion (whether you wanted it or not).
He was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus and the Fairfield Golden Agers. He loved to travel with his family as well as with the Golden Agers. He would often tell stories of his travels to anyone who would listen.
Marty was predeceased by his loving wife, Ann, in 1999 and is survived by four children: Carol Porcelli of Whiting, NJ, Martin and his wife Kim of Middletown, NY, Joan and her husband Bob of Wayne, NJ, and Donna and her husband Chuck of Surprise, AZ, six grandchildren: Liam and his wife Jennifer, Terrence and his wife Janine, Laura, Daniel, Bobby, and Justin, and five great-grandchildren: Aiden, Jackson, Lina, Gavin, and Riley, a sister Margaret, and a brother Raymond. Marty was also predeceased by his grandson, Seamus, and by his brother Edward.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Marty’s memory would be appreciated to Valley Hospice, 15 Essex Rd, Paramus, NJ 07652.
