Fair Havenite and Rumson real estate agent Leon Lonczak passed away on Oct. 30.
Born in Plainfield, the lifelong central Jersey native and his wife, Lori, raised their children in North Brunswick. They moved to Fair Haven after Leon retired in 2019 from his career in the biopharmaceutical industry at Bristol Myers Squibb.
Leon then enjoyed his time as a sales agent with Resources Realty in Rumson. Leon was a Rutgers University ’81 graduate and was proud to be a member of the Scarlet R Athletics Club.
“Leon was a caring husband and father especially devoted to his family …
“Leon enjoyed cars, bike riding, tennis, watching college sports, real estate and spending time with his two daughters.”
