Charlotte McCallen Zimmerman, 82
Charlotte McCallen Zimmerman, age 82, peacefully went to heaven last Saturday evening, October 19, 2013. She fought the tough fight with emphysema and had many enjoyable years with her husband, family and friends. We all prayed that God would take her before she faced the pain and suffering that the end of this disease would create. Our prayers were answered. The highest acclaim she gave to those she knew and loved was to be a "Saint on Earth". Very few met that standard. She did, at the top of the list. Throughout her life she always found something positive about any situation no matter how dire or sad. She never had an unkind thought or word about anyone she knew. That clearly showed in the affection and love her friends gave to her. Being involved with, and the love of her family, were most important in her life. She and her husband John had 62 beautiful years of a sharing and loving marriage. "Char" was born July 19, 1931 and grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee, graduated from Knoxville High School, attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and was a Chi Omega. She and "Zim" met on a blind date at the University of Tennessee. Over the years they lived in Springfield, IL

Sinuk, and during the last year of his life with grandson John Paul. After the loss of his wife, John spent his winters in California with his loving son and daughter-in-law, Paul and Nelda Sinuk. John was All-County and All-State football player at Sayreville High School. He also played trombone in the marching band. John was the first student to receive a full football scholarship to the University of Southern California. Due to his desire to return to New Jersey after the sudden passing of his father, John completed his college education at Rutgers University, also on a full football scholarship. John continued at Rutgers University to receive his Masters Degree in Education, and taught school for a number of years. Following this, John worked for Allstate Insurance Company, building his own agency, which enabled him to retire at the age of 55 so he could do what he loved most, which was to spend time with his family. He spent his retirement traveling with his wife, playing tennis and bridge and was a member of the Carnegie Lake Rowing Association in Princeton. He also began a book club in his community, which continues to thrive. John continued to play competitive tennis, until recently, with his son Paul. They were ranked nationally as father and son for many years. John was devoted to charitable work and participated for many years in the Meals on Wheels program, with his wife Marion. He enjoyed spending time with the elderly, and often lonely, recipients. John was also active in Toys for Tots and would purchase beautiful items on the wish lists for the children, well beyond expected. Most importantly, John was a man of honor and integrity, he taught his children to respect themselves and others. John never spoke a harsh word and even when he was becoming very ill, he never complained. He was an avid reader, tennis player and bridge player. He was also an accomplished artist and trombone player, although what mattered most to John was the well being and happiness of his family. John is predeceased by the love of his life, his loving wife Marion Sinuk. He is survived by his loving children Linda M. Sinuk, Paul J. Sinuk and his wife, Nelda Sinuk, John C. Sinuk, and his wife Bonnie Sinuk, his granddaughter Bonnie Marie, and his most beloved grandson John Paul Sinuk. Burial
