Robert Lubarsky, age 59 of Wayne passed away peacefully on Friday September 30, 2016.
Robert was born in Passaic and was raised in Wayne. He graduated from Wayne Valley High School with the Class of 1975. After graduating high school, Robert attended Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, PA. He began his career in the construction industry and spent the last 15 years as an estimator. He lived in Effort, Pennsylvania until 2006 before returning to Wayne.
Robert was an avid fisherman at one time owning his own fly fishing shop called The Jonas Angler in Kunkletown, PA. His family has taken annual fishing trips to Seaside Park, NJ for over 25 years, even spending Thanksgiving holidays at the shore with close friends and family. In 1992, Robert set a world record which still stands today for the largest Albacore Tuna to be caught on a fly rod using a 20 lb test. Robert was a hard working individual and poured himself into everything that he did.
In college, Robert met Maryanne Hamilton. They cherished fifteen years of marriage and over twenty-three years together, in northeast Pennsylvania where they raised their four children. Sadly, in 1999 Robert and his family lost Maryanne to cancer. In 2006, Robert found love again with his now wife Jennifer (nee Lloyd). Robert and Jennifer were married in 2011 and honeymooned in Siesta Key, Florida. They shared a home together on Packanack Lake.
Robert had a huge heart and would give the shirt off his back to anyone that needed it. There was always an inside joke in the family about who was going to show up at Christmas dinner. For many years, all you had to do was cross paths with Robert during the holiday season and you would receive a very cordial invitation to the family Christmas dinner. Robert was great at many things, but his greatest accomplishment and his deepest passion was for his family and the people that he loved.
Robert was a very special person, touched the lives of countless people and will be sincerely missed by all who knew him.
Robert is survived by his wife Jennifer, his son Max and fiancée Kendra of Arlington, VA, his three daughters; Nicolet of New York, NY, Maryanne and Emily both of Wayne, one brother; Keith of Wayne, and one sister Lisa of West Milford along with four nieces and nephews; Keith, Andrew, Sam, and Amy. He was predeceased by his first wife Maryanne Hamilton Lubarsky in 1999, his father Robert Lubarsky in 1998, and his mother Eleanor Seifert in 2011.
