Dorothy Gassin Rupprecht entered into her eternal home Wednesday, November 13, 2019 after a century of life on earth. Born in New Brunswick, NJ, June 12, 1919, the only child of Grace and Henry Gassin, she grew up on a farm in North Brunswick and attended a two-room schoolhouse for the first years of her schooling. After graduating from New Brunswick High School in 1936, she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Home Economics from The New Jersey College for Women, which later became Douglass College.
Marrying her high school sweetheart Albert in 1940, they adapted well to the farm life, first on her family’s North Brunswick Georges Road acreage and later as they practiced “gentlemen farming” in Central Pennsylvania. She and Albert relocated to Mt. Olive Township in the 1990s, sharing life with their son’s family. The last seven years of her life she enjoyed the interaction at Paragon Village. Her talents and creativity touched many. Countless babies stayed warm in her knitted creations while countless children and adults feasted on her soups and apple and pumpkin pies. Writing was her passion. At the age of 8 she had a poem published in The New Brunswick Home News and was selected to compose the class poems in both 8th and 12th grade. Her contributions to the Creative Writing group at Paragon Village were warmly applauded. Above all was her love for the Lord and his church. She was a member of Budd Lake Chapel as well as the Bible study groups at Paragon. Dorothy’s advice when interviewed by Mt. Olive/Hackettstown Life on the occasion of her 100th birthday celebration was simply, “Do something you like. Stay faithful, Make friends and keep friends. And be good to your family.” She lived those words. She is survived by her son David (Ruth), grandchildren Jeffrey Otken, Kara Fink (Ian) and Kirk (Alicia) as well as great-grandchildren Jackie and Ella Otken, Dylan and Kayleigh Fink, Cadence, Cassidy and Elliette Rupprecht and Megan Otken. She was predeceased by her husband Albert, daughter Jean Otken and grandson Edwin Otken. The viewing will be held at Budd Lake Chapel, 54 Sandshore Road on Tuesday, November 19, 2019 at 9:30 am followed by the service at 10:30 am.

It is with great sadness and profound grief that Panther Valley Golf & Country Club announces the passing of one of our own.
Francis “Bucky” Kavanagh, age 64, of Allamuchy, NJ died Sunday, November 10, 2019 at his home. Bucky lived the majority of his live within the gates of Panther Valley. He grew up here – attending Allamuchy School and Hackettstown High School before attending Rider College – and continued to live here through his adult life. His involvement at PVGCC began at the beginning of the club’s history as his family were some of the original Members of Panther Valley Golf & Country Club. In 1977 Bucky won the club championship. After that, Bucky began his 41 year career in the Golf Shop as the Assistant Golf Professional. Season after season, Bucky would eagerly await the early signs of spring – the first indicator that golf season – and the return of the Members at PVGCC – was just around the corner. His friendly smiling face was among the first and most recognizable at the club. Perhaps his most distinct attribute was his ability to remember the name, face, and preference of each golfer at PVGCC over the past 41 years. To this day, former Members and guests who have played the course reminisce about his welcoming and accommodating nature. During his time, Bucky was one of the most dedicated Members of the PVGCC family – going above and beyond whenever the situation warranted. Bucky was also one of the most knowledgeable people about not only PVGCC but also Allamuchy Township as a whole – often educating those around him Bucky is predeceased by his father Desmond, his mother Jean and his sister Missy. Over the years, Bucky has become a part of each family at PVGCC – always celebrating and supporting everyone in their time of need. His kind heart and warmhearted nature will be missed by all that knew him. A memorial service will be held at 6:00 pm on Friday, November 22, 2019 at the Panther Valley Golf and Country Club, 1 Forest Drive, Allamuchy, N.J. 07820. Calling hours will be Thursday, November 21, 2019 from 12:00 noon – 8:00 pm at the Panther Valley Golf and Country Club, 1 Forest Drive, Allamuchy, NJ 07820.
