Howard "Bud" Joseph Carlock Jr. ( December 16, 1937 to March 18, 2012)
Bud passed to eternal life on Sunday March 18, 2012 at Overlook Hospital in Summit NJ.
He was born in New York City to Howard Sr, and Dorothy and grew up in Haddon Heights, NJ.
He graduated with a BS in Business from Villanova University in 1960 from there he went on to have a successful career in sales. He was married his college sweetheart Maria (nee Maio) for just short of 50 years.
They settled in Glen Ridge NJ where they raised their 4 children, Jennifer, Thomas, Janice and Amy. He moved to Verona in 1987 and then to Scotch Plains in 2005. He lived the last 6 years of his life in Westfield Genesis Center, a nursing home in Westfield, NJ.
He was a simple man; full of life. Always ready to offer advice and support and a friend to everyone he met. He will be sorely missed.
He is survived by his loving wife Maria, daughters Jennifer Donnelly, Janice Sapanaro and Amy Pleites and son, Thomas. Grandchildren Ryan and Kaitlin Donnelly, Tyler Carlock, Jane and Steven Saponaro and Hector Martinez as well as two sisters, Margaret Marchione and Barbara Burgner.
There will be a mass of remembrance later in the spring to celebrate this glorious man’s life. In lieu of flowers please send your donations to St Bartholomew’s Church, 2032 Westfield Avenue, Scotch Plains, NJ 07076.
