Wilson C. DeGruttola age 90 of Wayne died on Thursday October 23, 2008 at the Veterans Center in Lyons, NJ.

He was born in Newark and had lived in Bloomfield and Montclair, moving to Wayne where he lived for seventy years before going to the Veterans Home in Lyons, New Jersey.

Wilson received his formal education at Bloomfield High School graduating with the Class of 1936.

Mr. DeGruttola operated the North End Beauty Shop located on Broad Street in Bloomfield for nearly 50 years before his retirement in 2002.

He served in the Army during World War II in the Pacific Theatre from 1942 to 1945. He was badly wounded and upon his discharge was declared a Disabled Veteran.

He was a long time member of the Bloomfield Kiwanis Club and loved to play golf.

His family has many fond memories of him as a loving uncle to many nieces and nephews. Wilson had a very gentle spirit and was liked by many friends.

Surviving are two sisters Edith Esandrio of Lakewood and Frances Testa of Wayne.

His wife Elvira predeceased him in 2001 and his brother Salvatore DeGruttola died in August of 1997.

Those planning an expression of sympathy in Wilson’s name are asked to consider the Bloomfield Kiwanis Club, P.O. Box 2431, Bloomfield, NJ 07003.
