Charles Orosz

Charles "Charlie" Orosz, 64, of Fords passed away peacefully at home on September 22, 2022. Born in Mechelen, Belgium he was formerly of Metuchen and had resided in Fords since 1979.

"Mr. Charlie" was employed as a school bus driver for George Dapper, Inc. since 2012. Prior to that, he had been employed as a truck driver for Clayton Block Company for 22 years.

He is predeceased by his parents John and Elizabeth (Schrott) Orosz and his brothers, Steven and Joseph Orosz.

He leaves behind his beloved wife of 43 years, Theresa "Terri" Orosz, his beloved son, Steven Orosz of Ashburn, VA, his beloved daughter Pamela Rich, her husband Jonathan of Killingworth, CT, his two cherished granddaughters, his sister Irene Starnes of Edison, a brother John (Mary) Orosz of York, PA, and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, cousins, and close friends.

Charlie's greatest joy was being with family and friends, whether it was hosting barbeques at home and making ribs, wings, and pizza on the grill, or spending time with them on his boat on Schroon Lake in the Adirondack Mountains. He enjoyed laughing around campfires, hiking, snowshoeing, traveling, and friendly games of horseshoes, darts, and shuffleboard.

Charlie holds a special place in many people's hearts and while he will be deeply missed, his spirit will live on through the memories of the special times he shared with his family and friends.

A memorial visitation will be held on Saturday, October 29, 2022, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Flynn and Son Funeral Home, 23 Ford Avenue, Fords, NJ 08863, with a prayer service at 2:30 p.m. The Reverend Andras Szasz will be officiating.
