David J. Wolfson, 73, of Paramus, passed away on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. Dave grew up in Bergen County, was a proud veteran of the Army National Guard, and worked for the Paramus Police Department for 52 years. Dave was a friendly face to many, telling stories and making people laugh. He was an extremely generous person, always going out of his way to help anyone in need.
Dave is survived by his son Mathew Wolfson. You would often find them dining together at El Cid or sharing clams on the half shell and rice pudding.
A memorial service / celebration of life will be held in the near future for Dave for those that would like to attend. In lieu of gifts to the family, we are respectfully reaching out to everyone in honor of Dave to help support this celebration of life. Any contribution, no matter how small, will greatly help and can be sent via www.gofundme.com/DaveWolfson
