Winfield Chasmar, Jr., age 78 of Lincoln Park died peacefully on Sunday, February 23, 2014. He had been a resident of Lincoln Park since 1991.
Winfield grew up in Union City, NJ. He attended LaSalle Military Academy, Oakdale, NY. After serving in the U.S. Navy, he began a career operating heavy construction equipment and was involved in many large construction projects, including the building of Route 80. He retired after a career of forty-plus years with Operating Engineers Local 825, Springfield, NJ. He spent many of those years as an operator with United Crane.
In the 1980’s, Winfield met Marian Eckert. They were introduced by a friend and on that first evening together, Winfield made a comment about her outfit which she found slightly offensive, almost bringing their first date to an early end. But as the night wore on, Marian came to enjoy his sense of humor and they were married in 1989. They enjoyed fine dining and dancing together over the years until Marian passed in 2009.
Winfield is survived by five children of his own and three children of Marian’s and they are: Phillip Chasmar of California, Lisa Chasmar of Washington, Carole Chasmar of Montclair, Winfield Chasmar and his wife Karen of Nutley, Christopher Chasmar and his wife Lisa of Kentucky, Steve Andiorio and his wife Beth of Totowa, Donna Hempel of Lincoln Park, and Stacey Kievit and her husband Rich of Vernon; grandchildren including Janessa Andiorio of Totowa and eleven other grandchildren; two sisters and a brother: Lynn Chasmar of North Palm Beach, FL, Grace Nordman and her husband Bob of Stafford, NH, and Matt Chasmar and his wife Tammy of Flemington.
He was predeceased by his beloved wife Marian; his parents: Winfield, Sr. and Evelyn Chasmar, and George and Helen Gosman; and his sister Regina Johnston.
The family of Winfield Chasmar, Jr. wishes to thank all of the staff at Llanfair House, Wayne, and St. Joseph’s Hospital Geriatric Acute Care Unit, Wayne, for the care and support provided to Dad and his family.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Winfield’s name are asked to consider the St. Joseph’s Wayne Hospital Foundation, 224 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, NJ 07470.
