Albert H.C. Wiegman, 84, a longtime resident of Westfield and local real estate broker, died Saturday, March 25, at Greenwich Hospital in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Mr. Wiegman was born in New York City on February 20, 1911 to parents who had recently emigrated from Germany.
He had been fond of saying he had started working at the age of 12 years, picking up discarded wood from the mansions being razed on Fifth Avenue during the 1920s.
Mr. Wiegman graduated from the High School of Commerce of which he was Class President. He was a 1932 graduate of Kings College of Columbia University in New York City, where he received a varsity letter in throwing the hammer.
Mr. Wiegman has been employed as a chocolate broker for the Mar's Company in Newark during the 1950s.
After receiving his real estate broker's license in the 1960s, he owned and operated RandolphWiegman Company in Westfield, which had been started by his late wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Wiegman, many years earlier with Andrew Randolph.
Mr. Wiegman was very active in the community, twice serving as President of the Westfield Lions Club and sitting on the Westfield Board of Adjustment for 15 years.
He also devoted himself to the Westfield Senior Housing Corporation, of which he was a founding member and where he continued as a board member emeritus until his death.
He and his second wife, the former Miss Joanna Parks, were married in 1981 and spent many years traveling and visiting his beloved farm in the Caukills in New York.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Joanna Wiegman; a son, Geoffrey Wiegman, and six grandchildren.
Another son, Albert Wiegman, predeceased him many years ago.
A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated yesterday morning, Wednesday, March 29, at Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church in Westfield. Burial was at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield.
Arrangements were handled by the Dooley Colonial Home, 556 Westfield Avenue, Westfield. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the American Diabetes Association in his name.
