Jerome Rosenberg Obituary
We celebrate the life of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Jerome (Jerry) Rosenberg, who passed away peacefully on August 12, 2024. Jerry was 93 years old and lived in Westfield, New Jersey for 53 years.
Born in Newark, New Jersey on March 9, 1931, Jerry was the son of the late Sam and Dora Rosenberg (née Feldman). Jerry was predeceased by two brothers, Charles Rosenberg and Irving Rosenberg, and one sister, Ruth Sidman.
Jerry was a devoted husband and a loving father and grandfather. He is survived by his devoted wife of 68 years, Elaine Rosenberg (née Brown); his beloved children Beth Shak (Jay), of Tilghman, Maryland, Michael Rosenberg (Lydia) of Westfield, and Barry Rosenberg (Harlee) of Bridgewater; and adored grandchildren, Marcus, Nina, John, Elizabeth, Daniel, and Gary.
Jerry served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War and attained the rank of Sergeant. Jerry owned and operated Jerry's Discount Department Store in Rahway for more than two decades.
Throughout his life, Jerry always showed his love for others through his many deeds. Jerome Rosenberg will be deeply missed by all who loved and knew him, and his memory will live on through his children and grandchildren.
A memorial service will be scheduled.

I didn't know Jerry very long but he must have been some force of nature! Among other things, I will think of him whenever I watch Vera or almost anything else on BritBox. May his memory be for a blessing.

I enjoyed our many times going to computer and ham radio shows, he could always find a great deal. When it came time for lunch he knew the best places for good food. My sincere sympathy.

I loved hanging out in the basement and was fascinated with Mr. Rosenberg's love of gadgets and all things Ham Radio. He was always fast with a funny comment for me and had a great laugh. He will surely be missed
