Robert A. Motichka, age 75 of Wayne, died on Friday November 7, 2008. He was born in Wilkes Barre, PA and had lived in Scranton, PA, and East Orange, NJ before settling in Wayne forty three years ago.
Robert was an extremely bright and well educated individual, having earned his Bachelor’s degree from Seton Hall University, his Masters degree in Statistics from NYU, and he had nearly completed his PHD in Economics from the New School.
He had served in the US Army as an MP stationed at Fort Gordon, GA during the Korean War. Early in his career he worked for Arbitron Ratings Service in New York City as a Research Analyst and he retired from Valley National Bank in Wayne.
Roberts’s favorite hobby was probably food; he loved a good meal. He knew all the best restaurants in and around New York City and always enjoyed a quality steak. He also enjoyed reading, mostly mathematical and technical books, and he occasionally relaxed with a crossword puzzle.
Robert is survived by two daughters; Laura Rottino (Anthony) of Wayne and Ellen Monarque and her husband William of Pompton Lakes, one sister; Sylvia Motichka of Wayne, one brother; John Motichka and his wife Christine of Wayne, six grandchildren; Gina, Kelly, Michael, and Matthew Rottino of Wayne, and Raven and Chase Monarque of Pompton Lakes, two nephews; Curtis Kasefang and his wife Sharon of Raleigh, NC and John Motichka of Butler, NJ, two nieces; Julie Kasefang of Wayne and Cynthia Wassmuth and her husband Robert of Rockaway, his former wife; Eleanor Motichka of Pompton Lakes, and many close cousins. He was predeceased by his sister Martha Kasefang in 1983.
