Carlos De La Hoz

Carlos De la Hoz, 95, formerly of River Edge, NJ, died on December 23, 2024, just two days after his beloved Benylda. Born on April 24, 1929 in Barranquilla, Colombia, a son of Manuel and Estebania Amador De la Hoz. Carlos is survived by his loving children Rudy (Michele), Carlos (the late Joni), Marlene (Christopher) Bosco, Manuel (Dawn), Herman (Anita); he was an adoring grandfather to twelve grandchildren including Michael (Julie), Carly (Henry), Matthew, Christopher, Andrew, Philip, Joseph, Emily, Dylan, Gabrielle (Matthew), Tyler, Victoria – and two great-grandsons, Leo and Cooper. In addition to his wife, Carlos was preceded in death by his sister, Carmen.
A natural born leader, he worked as the Supervisor for a printing company called Imprint Art in NJ for many years. His grandkids remember his great sense of humor - he always had a joke to tell.
Carlos will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
