Ronald J. Rosen age 74 of Wayne passed Monday, January 26, 2015.
Ronald J. Rosen aka “Ducky” age 74 of the Packanack Lake section of Wayne for 20 years passed Monday, January 26, 2015.
He was born in Jersey City at the Margaret Hague Maternity Hospital, son of Abraham and Betty Rosen. Ronald lived on Pleasant Avenue and later moved to Hauxhurst Avenue in Weehawken where he lived until he got married. He graduated from Weehawken High School with the Class of 1958 where he played basketball for the Clover’s and also participated in some theater. As a young boy, Ron delivered groceries on his bicycle for Max’s Deli in Weehawken. Ron grew up across the street from his childhood sweetheart, Rosemarie. They began dating in high school.
After completing high school, Ron enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve on April 1, 1958. He served in active duty for almost 3 years and then was in the Reserves for an additional 3 years. He was discharged on March 31, 1964. Ron and Rose Marie were engaged to be married for two years before they married at Saint Rocco’s Church in Union City on June 3, 1961. They honeymooned at the San Souci Hotel in Miami Beach Florida. They lived in West New York in their early days of marriage. They had two girls before moving to Palisades Park where they raised their family for over 20 years. Ron was very involved in his town, school, and church. He was councilmen for 4 years. He was a member of Saint Michael’s church where he was on the council and lector. Ron was known as Uncle Ron by most of the kids in the town. Later on, Ron and his family moved to Teaneck and then in 1994 they moved to Wayne, New Jersey.
Ron worked for the G.A.F. Corporation for forty-three years as a Risk Management Specialist, at first in New York City and later in Wayne, NJ. In his younger days, Ron worked as a salesmen in Macy’s in New York City, a banker on Broadway, and Burns and Roe in New York City.
Ron was a family man at heart. He was a proud grandpa to Taisha and Tanner. He loved his grandchildren more than life itself. He was known as “Ducky” by all which was the nickname given to him by his grandchildren. He would light up whenever he talked about them. Ron also enjoyed spending time with his daughter, Donna and his son-in-law, Charlie. They frequently vacationed together, their favorite being Disney World where they were Vacation Club Members. Whether it was taking Rose Marie into lower Manhattan for breakfast, playing board games with his grandchildren, going to the movies, his grandson’s hockey games, or seeing Rose Marie and his granddaughter collaborating on their blog “Taisha’s Table with Granny and Family”, he could never get enough of. He was always found in the circle of six with his wife, daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren. He had the patience of a saint, was very lovable, always had a kiss for the women, would give you the shirt off his back, and never had a bad word to say about anyone. Ron also loved to eat! Ron could eat a meal and snack before and after. His favorite restaurant was the Paris Inn in Wayne. Ron enjoyed fifty-four years of a marriage described as “inseparable” and “forever lovers” with the love of his life Rose. Ron later became a member of Saint Timothy’s Lutheran Church.
He was the loving husband of Rose Marie (Latronico) Rosen; devoted father of Donnamarie Purcel and her husband Charles of Wayne, and the late Debraanne Rosen (1989); cherished grandfather of Taisha and Tanner Purcel; dear brother of Daniel Rosen and his wife Carol of Osprey, FL; loved uncle of Kimberly Zalkin and David Rosen; brother-in-law of Father Phil Latronico, Richie and Anne Greten and their children Denise and Nicole Greten; brother-in-law of Phil and Jennifer Gagliardi; Godfather of Kimberly Zalkin and James Mussara.
