Robert J. Lesko age 76 of Wayne died Friday, December 22, 2006 at home, after a lengthy and brave battle with kidney and heart disease. At his passing at his own home he was receiving the loving care of his family.
He will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
He was born in Passaic and lived in Clifton and Franklin Lakes before moving to Wayne twelve years ago.
Robert graduated from Clifton High School with the class of 1948.
Since 1954 Robert has been a car dealer in Wayne Township and founded Wayne Subaru in 1977. Wayne Subaru is one of the last “mom & pop” car dealerships in New Jersey. A true family business including his two sons Robert and Mark, daughter Judy, grandsons Christopher, Corey, Larry and Robert, granddaughter Chelsea and his dedicated Wayne Subaru employees are all part of his family. He worked alongside his wife of fifty-two years until her passing in 2005. His care and compassion towards his customers and employees is what turned many of them into his friends.
He was a parishioner of Saint Elizabeth’s RC Church, Wyckoff and more recently at Saint Marys RC Church, Pompton Lakes.
Thirty years ago Robert and his late wife Agnes(nee Golabek) Lesko(2005) co-founded Wayne Subaru on Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne. Robert was the “pop” in one of the last “mom & pop” auto dealerships in the area.
Robert was an avid racing enthusiast having owned several race cars over the years.
