Wendel Weiner age 89 of Clifton died peacefully on Tuesday, August 28, 2012.
He was born and raised in Stanisitch, Yugoslavia, where he completed his education. He worked with his father in the family owned furniture factory in Stanisitch and was soon drafted into the German Army. He served on the Russian front where he was seriously wounded losing his left eye on the advance into Moscow. Subsequently he served in the army in Moschendorf, Austria. In 1945 when Germany surrendered he went to Salzburg, Austria to turn in his weapon. He returned to Moschendorf as he had found a cute girl named Rosina Domitrovits there. They fell in love and married on December 28, 1947 in Moschendorf, Austria and have enjoyed sixty-five years of loving and devoted marriage. They came to the United States in 1956 and settled in Paterson and Passaic, before moving to Clifton 45 years ago.
Wendel worked for the Sommer Cabinet Company in Carlstadt through the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America Local 15 out of Hackensack, for over twenty years before retiring in 1985. He had an extremely strong work ethic, was never late for work, and never missed a day of work. After his retirement he worked as a commercial and residential property manager for his son Joseph.
He was the loving husband of Rosina (Domitrovits) Weiner; loving father of Joseph Weiner and his wife Rita of Franklin Lakes; cherished grandfather of Annemarie “Aimee” Galofaro and her husband David of Wayne; Michele Mazzei and her husband Franco of Wayne; Dr. Michael J. Weiner of Franklin Lakes and Dr. Joseph P. Weiner of Brooklyn, NY; dear great-grandfather of Luke Mazzei, Anthony Galofaro, Michael Mazzei, and Gianna Galofaro.
Wendel is best described as a gentle man, hard working, responsible, and a perfectionist. As a hobby he enjoyed raising honeybees and Rosina had many stings to show for it as she helped him with his hives. This hobby has been taught and passed on to his son and grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Salvation Army, 545 West Broadway, Paterson, NJ 07522 or St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 would be appreciated.
