Obituary of George Stein

STEIN, George H., born in Saddle Brook in 1925, George graduated suma cum laude from Florida Southern with a degree in chemistry, mathematics and physics. He then went on to pursue a masters degree at Brown, a true genius. He served his country proudly in the United States Navy during World War II. He continued to meet with his LSM mates for years after. He spent nearly 50 years on Allen Street in Allendale, NJ making a home for his beloved family. George is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Jean (Cullen) Stein. He was a devoted dad to Amy Stein and her husband Terry Drucker, Carol and her husband Stephen Lash, Michael Stein and his wife Lynn, Lisa and her husband Richard Bastian and MaryAnn and her husband David Torcivia. George was a loving Grandpa and PopPop to Will, Mae, Alex, Dan, Tyler, Harrison, Garrett, Patrick, Jeannie, Sean, Kayleigh and Bridget. George was co-owner, with his brother Ernie, of Stein Wirecraft in HoHoKus; a place where he could showcase his incredible artistry. He always told his children that they should love what they do, and he truly loved his work. George enjoyed extensive travel with his wife Jean and their good friends Tom and Barbara Lewis. He and his beloved nephew Skip had made plans to sail away to explore distant lands. We know he is now on his way. The Stein family will receive family and friends on Saturday, September 15, 2012 from 10:00 until 11:00 AM, followed by a memorial service at 11:00 AM at the Vander Plaat Funeral Home (www.vpfh.com), 257 Godwin Avenue, Wyckoff, NJ.
