Robert P. Kreutz age 81 of Lords Valley, PA, formerly of Wayne, NJ, died Wednesday, July 30, 2008.

He was born in Orange and raised in Wayne where he lived for over sixty-five years before moving to Lords Valley, PA eleven years ago. Having graduated from Anthony Wayne Jr. High School, Wayne, he went on to Pompton Lakes High School, Pompton Lakes. In the patriotic atmosphere of our country during WWII, and prior to his graduating high school, he joined the United States Navy to help defend his country. He was stationed aboard a heavy cruiser named the USS Oregon City.

After his Navy career Bob got a job at the General Electric Company in Bloomfield, NJ working in their printing department. It is here that he spotted a young girl named June Rupp. Bob asked June to lunch one day and she turned him down because she had a liverwurst sandwich of her own. She later accepted his offer to go on a date. Their first date was at Schums Restaurant in Bloomfield, NJ. They married in 1953 and have enjoyed fifty-five years of loving marriage.

Bob later became self-employed, co-founding Welter & Kreutz Printing Co. in South Hackensack, where he worked for twenty-three years before retiring in 1996 and turning the business over to his two sons.

He is a former member of the Wayne Presbyterian Church, Wayne, NJ and is currently a member of The Church at Hemlock Farms in Lords Valley, PA. Bob is a person who enjoyed his work, was always making jokes, was busy tinkering around the house, known as Mr. Fix It, was a man of integrity, was very young for his age, and always volunteering his time and talents. He especially enjoyed RV’ing and has traveled to every state in our country and even RV’d through the Copper Canyon in Mexico.

He was a volunteer for the Wayne First Aid Squad for over twenty years, volunteered for all kinds of duties at the Wayne Presbyterian Church in Wayne and The Church at Hemlock Farms in Lords Valley, PA.

He is the beloved husband of June(nee Rupp) Kreutz; loving father of Lynne Kreutz-Stewart and her husband Bill of Middletown, NY, Barry Kreutz and his wife Jenny of West Milford and Robert Kreutz and his wife Marie of Ringwood; cherished grandfather of Joshua, Katie, Corey and Alexandra Kreutz and Rob and Sean Stewart; loved brother of Dorothy Silverbrand and her husband Ralph of Warwick, NY and the late Jack Kreutz.
