Paul Nazaruk age 76 of Wanaque, formerly of Wayne, died Saturday, January 19, 2008 at the Care One Center, Wayne.
He was born in Newark and raised in Cedar Grove having lived in Caldwell, the Packanack Lake section of Wayne and Lakewood before moving to Wanaque one year ago.
He graduated from Bloomfield High School, Bloomfield with the class of 1949 and attended Bob Jones University, Greenville, SC and Temple University in Philadelphia, PA.
Paul is a United States Army Veteran having served during the Korean War. Upon discharge, his experience in serving food to hundreds as an Army chef was put to immediate civilian use as Paul began exercising his culinary skills to prepare meals for large family gatherings.
He was the Director of Management Information Systems for the Christ Hospital, Jersey City where he worked for twenty-five years before retiring in 1996. His career in M.I.S. began with Blue Cross / Blue Shield in Newark and later with Saint Lukes Hospital, NYC before taking the position at Christ Hospital.
Paul was always the life of the party, his big, loud, booming voice would take over the room. He enjoyed acting and singing having belonged to the Playcrafters of Caldwell and the Packanack Players in Wayne. He also enjoyed tennis, golf, cooking ans spending time with family and friends at the NJ shore.
Real joy came to his life with the birth of his grandchildren. He was extremely proud of their accomplishments and both he and Sonya attended every possible event they had. As a matter of fact they even received an award for attending the most games.
Paul is the beloved husband of fifty-four and one half years to Sonya (nee Kushkowski) Nazaruk. He originally met Sonya at a church conference in Cromwell, CT where upon meeting her threw her in a lake to get her attention. A short time later they re-united at a wedding, fell in love, and wed soon after.
He is the loving father of Michael Nazaruk and his wife Karin of Normandy Beach and Paula Vaccarella and her husband Joseph of Montville; cherished grandfather of Lily Nazaruk and Aidan and Jared Vaccarella.
We can all rest in the knowledge that Paul is now, in the words of the old hymn, "safe in the arms of Jesus."
