Paul M. Lenoir “Junior”, age 52, of Riverdale, passed away on Saturday, October 3, 2015.
Paul was born in Hackensack and raised in Lincoln Park. He attended Boonton High School before going to work in his family’s bus business. Along with his wife April, he later became co-owner of D&J (School Bus) Transport and King Coach Charter Bus of Garfield.
He met his wife April in 1980 at the carefree age of seventeen. They dated for five years, marrying in 1985. Initially settling for a short time in North Haledon they later moved to Pompton Lakes. In 2007, they moved one more time – this time to Riverdale.
Junior was a truly fun-loving guy who was somewhat of an old-car enthusiast. He had a 1953 Ford coupe which he restored from the ground up. He’d take that car to shows and once he even trophied! He also owned a couple of Rat Rods.
His family often affectionately referred to Junior as Rain Man because of his quirky “OCDish” tendencies, like always having a banana and a container of Activa yogurt (it had to be Activa) every day at 11:00 AM. He had a fridge in his garage which was full of beer – all in order by brand of beer and the garage was meticulous too. The garage was his man cave. Every day he’d come home from work and the neighbors always knew when he was home because they’d hear music coming from the garage.
Junior was a huge NASCAR fan who always rooted for Dale Earnhardt, Junior’s and Kevin Harvick’s team, and he greatly enjoyed spending time at the beach with his family, especially the beaches in the Caribbean.
Surviving are his beloved wife April; two dear children: Dean and Jenelle Lenoir; his mother Mary Lenoir; six siblings: Cheryl Norton, Ronald, Marc, Danielle Gravatt, Heidi Lenoir, and Matthew; many nieces and nephews; his mother-in-law Rita Rome; sister-in-law Tammi Caddell; and niece Valerie Caddell. He was predeceased by his father Paul L, Lenoir in 2014 and his niece Ashley Caddell in 2010.
