Paul J. Hazuda, age 66 of Wayne, died on Monday, August 9, 2010 at the Chilton Memorial Hospital with his family by his side.
Paul was born in Woodbridge and lived in Clifton before moving to Wayne in 1980. He graduated from Pope Pius XII high school in Clifton with the class of 1962. He had been a funeral director until 1975 when he began a career in Human Resources. His career spanned several area hospitals, which included Hackensack UMC, Robert Wood Johnson, and Passaic General before retiring in 2003.
Paul loved spending time at his Catskill’s camp. The fly fishing there was great and enjoyed being in the outdoors. He liked to do his crossword puzzles and he was also an avid reader, particularly World War II era books and history. He was one of those people who didn’t want to play Trivial Pursuit with, because he seemed to know everything! He was also well-traveled, having visited Egypt, Greece, Turkey, and many other destinations. His family was particularly important to him and he was anxious to attend every family event that he could; near or far. Paul’s son has many fond memories of his dad and recalls when his father taught him how to shoot at the PAL rifle range in Wayne. Paul was a shooting coach for many years with the PAL and together they attended tournaments all over, including the Ohio National shooting match. He is also a proud member of the NRA.
Paul met his wife Patricia (nee Saja) in 1966. They went on their first date to Hoboken and the rest is history. They married in 1969 and have enjoyed over forty years together.
Paul is survived by his loving wife Patricia, one son; Chris and his wife Andi of Vermont, his two brothers; Stephen of Wayne and Joseph and his wife Lilly of Virginia Beach, VA, his dear sisters-in-law; Emilie Lutcza and her husband Jeff of Wayne and Carol McKay and her husband Sam of Hamburg, NJ, his brother-in-law; Fred Saja and his wife Melissa of Glen Ellyn, IL, and many loving nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by two brothers; John and Lee, as well as one sister; Marie.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Paul’s memory are asked to consider Eva’s Kitchen, 393 Main Street, Paterson, NJ 07501 or St. Peter’s Haven, 380 Clifton Avenue, Clifton, NJ 07011.
