Robert Henry Tencza, age 50 of Riverdale, died suddenly and unexpectedly at home on Friday, March 14, 2008.

Born in Jersey City and raised in Garfield before moving to Riverdale.

Bob was a graduate of Pope Pius XII High School in Passaic with the class of ’76. He was an inspector with PSE&G, working from there Oradell facility.

He was an avid cook and would make wonderful dinners for his wife Maureen every night. He had many hobbies and especially loved fishing, boating, camping, or just about anything that would take him to the outdoors. He was a big NY Giants fan and when he wasn’t rooting for them, you could find him tinkering in the yard or mulling over plans to fix up his ’72 Oldsmobile 442. He was a quiet man, with simple needs, and enjoyed his privacy. In 1991, his friend and co-worker, Clinton Stokes, set Bob up on a blind date with Maureen. Maureen worked with Clintons wife, Rose. They certainly owe a note of thanks to the Stokes’; for the love shared between Bob and Maureen during the seventeen years since, would not have been possible without Clinton and Rose.

Bob leaves his beloved wife Maureen (nee Brennan); his dear parents; Dolores and Henry Tencza of Hamburg, two brothers; James and his wife Dawn of Paterson and Steven and his wife Beth of Ho-Ho-Kus, one sister; Donna Tencza of Hamburg, and two nephews; Liam and Hayden Tencza of Ho-Ho-Kus.
