Henry A. Behring

Henry A. Behring leaves behind his loving wife of 69 years Madeline Behring; his daughter Lynn Linz and her husband Steve, his daughter Ann Marie Polster and her husband George, and his son Henry Behring and his wife Robyn; cherished grandfather of George Polster and his wife Melissa, Bryan Polster and his wife Kris, Kelsey White and her husband Matt, and Danielle Linz; adored great grandfather of Liliana Marie, Lucas Steven, George Henry, Avery Elizabeth, Mackenzie Marie, Madeline Louise, and Cole Anthony.  

Henry served in the US Navy during the Korean War where he worked as a 3rd class Engineman from 1950 through 1954. Henry served in the Mediterranean, and was a mechanic for 2 years, working on amphibious ships including the US Muliphen. He owned the Wyckoff Service Center for 60 years, and was also a proud exalted ruler of the Pompton Lakes Elks Lodge, #1895.

Henry and the love of his life Madeline, were inseparable from the time they met as young adults. Married in 1955, they together raised their family in Ramsey, New Jersey for over 50 years.

Henry will be remembered as a loving husband with a contagious laugh and love for making jokes. In addition to his children, he took so much pride in his growing family. Every visit with his great grandchildren, Pop Pop was sure to give a dollar bill for their piggy banks.

Underneath his towering stature, his heart was as big as they could possibly come, he touched the lives of everyone around him and will be sorely missed.
