Robert C. Morgenstern “Bob” age 70 of Fairfield on Sunday, November 8, 2009 at the Hackensack University Hospital in Hackensack. His loving family surrounded his bed and witnessed his peaceful passage to heaven. His passing was the culmination of a long and courageous battle with Leukemia.
He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he lived his formative years. He lived in Wayne for seventeen years later moving to Prospect Park and then to Fairfield four years ago.
Bob was a Truck Mechanic for Wonder Bread Bakeries in Paterson for eighteen years before going on disability in 1989 because of a back injury.
He was gifted with an extraverted personality that would light up any room he entered. His sense of humor was always topflight and his practical jokes are well known to his many friends.
His favorite football teams were the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys.
Bob and Jackie met each other on a blind date and after a year and a half courtship Bob finally asked Jackie to be his wife. He will always be remembered as a devoted and attentive husband. They had an “outstanding and loving” marriage for forty-two years.
Something very special happened in Bob’s life when grandchildren arrived. He was ecstatic. They were very special in his life journey and he loved them to pieces.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory his loving wife Jackie (nee DeCiuceis) Morgenstern, two daughters Deana Casasanta and her husband Phil of Wayne and Michele Morgenstern of Pompton Lakes; two sisters Marion Girard and her husband Tom of Mt Laurel NJ and Jeanette Eckard and her husband Richard of May‘s Landing NJ: also three cherished grandchildren Christian, Gianna and Isabella Casasanta of Wayne.
