September 19, 1948 - August 9, 2020
Alexander Jaworski, age 71, passed away peacefully in his sleep on
August 9th, 2020, at the Concord Health and Rehabilitation in Lakewood,
New Jersey. Alex fought a brave battle against Multiple Sclerosis for 33
years, and several other medical complications from his time served in
the Vietnam War.
Alex was drafted immediately after graduating Passaic
High School to the United States Army, at the young age of 19 years old.
He served as a Combat Sergeant in the Vietnam War from 1968-1969. Alex was wounded
in the war on the 27th of December 1968 as a result of a hostile mortar attack on his platoon. He received a Purple
Heart for his heroic actions in combat and was honorably discharged on
the 17th of December 1969.
Alex leaves joyful memories to his
beloved wife, Rosita, of 40 years, his three wonderful children;
Kimberly, Andrew, and Alicia; his son-in-law Dean, daughter-in-law
Meghan; four amazing grandchildren, Leah, Breelyn, Zane and Autumn; his
brother, Edward and his wife Lois; and his sister, Alice.
He resided in Mt. Arlington, NJ for the remainder of his life with his wife and three children. Alex loved to spend the weekends swimming and hosting family gatherings in the summer months and always placed first in the family’sannual “roof snowball” tournaments in the winter months. When he wasn’t playing memorable pranks and telling his hilarious jokes with friends and family, he spent his downtime watching his favorite television shows, Abbott and Costello and M.A.S.H. Alex’s favorite comedy routine was the infamous “Who’s on First” by Abbott and Costello.
Alex was a
loving, caring, and sweet-tooth indulging son, brother, husband, father,
and grandfather who will forever remain in our hearts and memories with
each slurp of cereal, chocolate ice cream spills on the kitchen
counter, and the sight of a full glass of milk!
