Gordon W. Anthony, age 57, died on October 8, 2012, with his family and friends by his side, in Los Angeles, California. Gordon was named in 1985 by the Jaycee's as one of the ten most outstanding men in America, an award that was given in other years to President Jack Kennedy and the Reverend Martin Luther King. Gordon was a true visionary who devoted his life to the equal treatment of all people, not only those with disabilities. His vision was of a world without discrimination, a world of tolerance. Gordon was quoted as saying "discrimination against anyone is discrimination against everyone; we must learn to value and appreciate our similarities as well as our differences." He will greatly be missed by many." Gordon's Story |

Tom was born in the wrong century. He was a mountain man at heart, with a passion for hunting, hiking and trapping.
If he had his way, he would have lived up in some uncharted mountain range enjoying the simple things of life. Tom did not need money
or gadgets to keep him happy or feel accomplished; it was his understanding of what is really important in life that made Tom
such a special man. Gloria Chappa Mom |

In loving memory of our brother "Hank" We will always keep him in our hearts. Remembering his love of music, his musical talents - unbelievable -standing ovations after his performances with his guitar at a concert - no one could surpass. So happy to have him in our life. Miss him so much. "Hank" loved trees. All of them that God made to enjoy. I always see his face in the leaves and feel his hugs with the swaying of the branches, always caring for others and ready to lend a helping hand. We had a very special brother.

Richard R. Maggio, "Ricky", age 55 of Royal Palm Beach, Florida, formerly of Wayne, died on Thursday, March 5, 2009.
He was born in Paterson and lived in Wayne for most of his life. He graduated from Wayne Valley High School, where he had played football and was a skier, with the class of 1972. He later graduated from New Jersey Institute of Technology with an Associate's degree in Engineering. He was employed with Steamfitters Local 274 in Jersey City for nearly twenty four years before moving to Florida in 1998. He has since been working as a construction manager with his brother, Ronald, in Florida.
Richard was also a proud member of the Preakness Volunteer Fire Company #4 in Wayne for many years before he moved to Florida.
Richard was an avid fisherman and truly enjoyed all the fishing opportunities that Florida had to offer. He had fished all over, including Cape Cod, shark fishing out of Montauk, and the Florida Keys. As a boy, he spent his summer vacation on LBI, in Surf City, which is where he probably picked up his love for surfing too. He was extremely intelligent, could fix just about anything, and would gladly help anyone in need. Richard was always the 'life of the party' and he sure knew how to enjoy himself. He recently said to his brother; "I've lived life my way and it doesn't owe me anything."
Richard is survived by his daughter Ashley and her mother Susan C. Maggio of Mertztown, PA, his parents; Thomas and Evelyn Maggio of Wayne, one sister; Donna Maggio-Ash and her husband William of Wayne, two brothers; Thomas Maggio of Wayne and Ronald Maggio and his wife Susan of Wellington, FL, and many nieces, nephews, and close friends.

In loving memory of Raymond Maksuta
who lost his battle with colon cancer in 1994. Ray was a very caring and loving individual. He was very knowledgeable about the origins of any type of wine and could tell you information about that wine down to what type of wooden barrel or what type of grapes the wine was made from. Besides his first love of wine, he was an accomplished guitar player. He loved the blues long before it became popular-- certainly a man before his time. A serious man at times, in a moments notice he could turn into a jokester. Although he may be gone from our sight he is never gone from our hearts. Susan Maksuta, sister October, 2002 |

Jill Newton moved to Colorado shortly after graduating from Wayne Valley High School. Other than a short stay in San Francisco, Jill lived in Colorado the rest of her life. She loved the mountains. Jill was a fabulous snow skier; she enjoyed white water rafting, and hiking. She, of course, was also a very loving mother. Not only was she beautiful, but also probably one of the brightest people I have ever met. Her memory was photographic and often the conversation at the office. If anyone couldn't find a project number from a job 10 years earlier…"just ask Jill" was usually the next approach. She knew every employees social security number by heart (there were 20 or 30 employees). Most of all, Jill was loved. Not everybody loved Jill, but her close friends, family and husband loved her, admired her, and were dedicated to her completely. This was true because she loved and dedicated herself, in a healthy way, to her close knit group of family and friends. The world was a better place because of Jill, and her absence from this planet is still very much recognized. Kevin D. Scott, spouse September, 2002 |

Tom was a renowned neuroscientist and pharmacologist. He graduated with a B.S. from Bucknell in 1976 and obtained his PhD in pharmacology from Howard University in 1980. With some 30 publications to his credit, Tom was "superman" according to a fellow scientist with whom he worked. He was recruited by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Washington, DC as a staff fellow in 1980 and quickly rose to become chief of the laboratory of neuroendocrinology of the NIH's National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke in 1982. He was also an assistant professor at Howard's Medical School. Tom was one of the founders of the annual Winter Neuropeptide Conference and was cited in the publication "Who's Who in Frontier Science and Technology". His reputation established, Tom moved to Monsanto in St. Louis, Missouri in 1986 where he became director of its CNS (Central Nervous System) department.

Kevin L. Riker, age 55, formerly of Wayne, died on Tuesday October 7, 2008 in Sarasota, Florida after a courageous battle of nearly 8 years with Lou Gehrig's disease.
Kevin graduated from Wayne Valley High School where he left his mark in athletics. He is a member of the Wayne Valley Football Hall of Fame and he was a star pole-vaulter on the track team. There's little doubt that his athletic success must have been a result of the excellent coaching he received from his coach and big brother, Ray Riker. He was also an avid skier and absolutely loved to golf. He was a natural at golf and continued playing well into his adult life, until the disease limited him.
Kevin moved to Key West, Florida in the 1970's and opened a restaurant called "Poncho & Lefties" on Olivia St. He was passionate about cooking and this was a dream come true for him. His brother Ray recalls Kevin grilling on the sidewalk out in front of the restaurant. He operated the restaurant there for over thirteen years before he and his wife moved to Sarasota, Florida in the late 1980's. Kevin continued to cook, both occupationally and as a hobby. He simply loved being a chef and he was very good at it.
For the past few years, during the height of Kevin's illness, his niece and nephew have made regular visits to Florida, often twice a year, to spend time with their ailing uncle. Kevin truly enjoyed and looked forward to their visits. They were very close and will miss him dearly. Kevin has no children of his own and his nephew, Ray "Dee" Riker, recently named his own son in his uncle's honor.
Kevin is survived by his wife of thirty years, Donna (nee Delsea) of Sarasota, Fl, his mother; Jane Riker, one brother; Ray Riker.

Frank was born in March 1954, the son of Frank and Adele Symon, Sr.,
and the brother of Laurie. He died in a car accident in December
1973. In the spring of 1974, Frank's ashes were scattered over the surf
of Seaside Park, New Jersey, a place he loved and where he had spent
many happy days with his friends. Frank is remembered by his family as happy, energetic and friendly young man, who loved athletics - a memory shared by the class of 1972. When we also recall that Frank won the "Coaches Award" in 1972 for his sportsmanship and commitment to his team on the basketball court, we also know that Frank was a person committed to school, community, and others - a dedication that would have certainly continued had he not passed from this life too early. Notes from Frank's Mom December, 2003 |
