December 20, 2020

Henry Wojculewski, 84, longtime resident of Pittsgrove Twp. passed away Sunday, Dec. 20, 2020. Born in Elmont Long Island, NY on Feb. 21, 1936. Henry was the oldest surviving son of Stanley G. Sr and Helen (Duda) Wojculewski. He was raised on the Wojculewski family farm in Pittsgrove. Despite only having an 8th grade education, he started working for Kontes Glass in 1958 and retired in 2004 after 46 years of service. Also in 1958, he married Patricia L. Thurman and remained her devoted husband until her death in 2011. Raised the way he was on the farm he was a lover of all things outdoors. He loved hunting, fishing, and taking care of the house and yard in Olivet that he bought with his wife back in 1963. Family camping trips every summer was a way of life and 2 weeks of deer season up in the mountains of PA and back home here in Jersey was an unofficial holiday for him for many years. In their 50's, Henry and Pat took up golf, which they played together for 20 plus years. He was known as an honest, hardworking, self-sufficient man devoted to his wife, son, and family, and extremely generous to those who needed help whether it was asked for or not. Many neighbors got bags of vegetables from his garden on their doorsteps in the summer and their driveways plowed in the winter just because he enjoyed it and wanted to do it. He is survived by his son Henry P. and wife Debra T., granddaughters Dorothy H. and Penelope A. (Jax) Wojculewski. He is also survived by two brothers, Stanley G. Jr and John F. Sr., and seven sisters, Frances Zapar, Alice Smith, Lillian Monteleone, Betty Ann Canino, Nancy H. McCann, Lois F. Zimmerman, and Ruthie S. Hollingshead as well as many, many nieces, nephews and other extended family. He was predeceased by his wife, his parents, an older brother John, older sister Helen and younger brother Thomas. Services are private and at the convenience of the family.
