Roger “Sam” Worell age 67 of Sunset Beach, NC, formerly of Wayne, NJ died peacefully with the comfort of his family by his side on Monday, February 18, 2013.
He was born and raised in Paterson having graduated from Central High School with the Class of 1963. He lived in Wayne for forty years before moving to Sunset Beach North Carolina on October 31, 2011.
Sam worked for NJ Bell Telephone n Paterson as a lineman and after a few years he joined the Paterson Police Department. He worked for the Paterson Police for twenty-eight years having retired in 1994. Never one to let grass grow under his feet Sam took on a multitude of different jobs after retiring. He painted lines in parking lots trading as Modern NuStripe, worked as a contractor having built several homes – including the family home the children grew up in and the home his son lives in today, he worked for the PFIA (Police Fire Insurance Agency), did roofing, framing and just about anything he could make a buck at. Eventually he found a job at Wayne Tile Company which he loved. He was in charge of maintenance and built in store vignettes to display the tile. As you can see Sam could build or fix just about anything.
He loved to make people laugh and would do just about anything for you. He would hear about your situation and say “I can do that” never making you ask him for help. He would just help get it done. Sam was also an avid sportsman who really enjoyed deer hunting in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He enjoyed traveling to anywhere there was beach and sun. He made many trips to the Bahamas, and enjoyed vacations in Las Vegas, and Florida. One vacation/entrepreneurial endeavor was to Scotland. Sam hooked up online with a baker in Scotland and went there to learn how to make Mutton Pies with Arlene's cousin Al. That idea never really got off the ground. Sam belonged to several fraternal organizations including: North Carolina Elks, Honor Legion, Emerald Society, Paterson PBA, and the Coastal Carolina Shields.
Sam met a young girl named Arlene Gueterman and soon fell in love. Their first date was to Mama Leone’s Restaurant in New York City followed by dancing at the Peppermint Lounge. Sam proposed to Arlene in the restaurant located at the Motel on the Mountain now known as Mount Fuji in Suffern, NY. He slipped an engagement ring into Arlene’s glass of wine. They married at Our Lady of Lourdes RC Church in Paterson on October 11, 1969 and honeymooned in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Arlene and Sam have enjoyed forty-three years of a loving, caring, and giving marriage.
Sam was the beloved husband of Arlene Worell (nee Gueterman) of Sunset Beach, NC; devoted father of Brian Worell and his fiance Ashley Milovitz of Sandyston, and Dana Worell of North Haledon; he will also be greatly missed by his loving Miniature Schnauzer Abbey.
In lieu of flowers donations in Sam's memory to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, 1500 Rosecrans Ave., Suite 200, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 www.pancan.org would be appreciated.
