Obituary of James Kaczmark, Jr.

James J. Kaczmark, Jr., 54, of Howell Township passed away unexpectedly at home on Monday, February 7, 2022.  Jim was born, raised and lived in Brooklyn.  He had moved to the Rossville section of Staten Island and then to Howell Township in 2003 (both times kicking and screaming).  Jim was an inside sales representative for Cooper Electric Supply Company, Brick for the past 15 years and prior to that Warshauer Electric, Tinton Falls.    He had a passion for travel, especially with friends, his son’s basketball teams and always to the Villa Roma Resort, Catskills, in week 32.  When Jim walked into the room you knew it, he was a good time and the life of the party.  Yet, it was always family first, more than ever now that he was becoming a Pop-Pop.
