GEORGE BRUDER

BRUDER, GEORGE 94 - of Linwood, passed away on Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Born in Kearny in February 1916, George graduated from Kearny High School in 1933. In the same year he started work at the Prudential Insurance Company in Newark and transferred to Linwood in 1957, from where he retired in 1981. He is survived by his beloved wife, Grace (nee Redeker) of 60 years; and a daughter, Beverly Masucci of Florida. He is predeceased by a daughter, Carolyn Venino; and a son, George. He leaves 10 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and six great-great grandchildren. As a child, his interests were divided between, in good weather, stick ball with the neighborhood kids and his first 26 cousins, and reading history books at the library when it rained. As an adult he was referred to as a "walking encyclopedia" of history. George was an avid bowler, proud of his 185 average. He also played baseball for the Kearny home team with several newspaper reports of his value to the team, and was a fine tennis player. Besides his sports talents, he was an excellent classical violin player, and prior to W.W. II, he played with the then active Pru. Orchestra, which often played N.Y. business conventions. A gentle, private person, he was a man beloved by everyone who ever crossed his path, and will be sorely missed by all.
