V. A. “Victor” Pastore, age 86 of Wayne and Beach Haven, NJ, slipped away peacefully into the arms of the Lord on Wednesday, November 23, 2011.
Victor was born in Orange, New Jersey, the sixth of seven children. He graduated from Orange High School with the class of 1943. His mother wouldn’t allow him to sit idle and she insisted that he find a job immediately after his graduation. He took a position at Union Camp, starting out at the bottom as a ‘Flyboy”; catching hot sheets of freshly printed paper as they came flying off the printing press. He built a career with Union Camp of more than fifty four years, and worked his way up the company ladder the old fashioned way; with hard work. At one point, he was managing three plants for Union Camp. He retired as a Strategic Planning Manager in 1997.
It was at Union Camp that Victor had the good fortune to meet Dolores (nee Cerbone), who was his secretary there. Their romance was only eclipsed by a deep and profound friendship. They were married in 1963 and moved to Wayne in 1965.
Victor was inspired by his faith which, in turn, inspired his family life. Each week began with Sunday Mass followed by dinner with family. In the 1970’s, he built a house in Beach Haven on Long Beach Island. Summer vacations at the shore were wonderful and Victor loved being there with his wife and daughters. He was a great dad to his four girls and they will all tell you how good he was at keeping a secret, how much he inspired them, and how much he really meant to each of them. He would do anything for his girls and one particular summer, he built a play house for them in the back yard. The girls didn’t have any idea because they had been away at the shore for the summer while he toiled away, building this house. When they saw it for the first time, they were ecstatic, and they will never forget what their dad did for them.
Victor is survived by his devoted wife of forty eight years; Dolores of Wayne, four daughters; Janice Hurlbutt and her husband Dr. Thomas of Allentown, PA, Elise Rossbach and her husband Richard of Wayne, Alane Lynch and her husband James of Allentown, PA, and Joyce Towey and her husband John of Pompton Plains, NJ, and nine grandchildren; Paige, Steven, and Michael Hurlbutt, Jeanette and Richard Rossbach, Kate and Grace Lynch, and John Victor and Joseph Towey.
