Jerome Rosenberg

Jerome “Bud” Rosenberg served in the U.S. Air Force during World War II, stationed in the Pacific Theater. Born in Newark, New Jersey, he returned home after the war and became a pharmacist, eventually establishing his own business, Eckert’s Pharmacy, in Newark, where he remained until his retirement.

He married Leona Blumenfeld, and together they enjoyed 75 years of marriage until her passing in 2022. They raised two sons, Allen and David, and Bud is a proud grandfather to Stephanie and Steven, as well as a great-grandfather to Jonathan and Emily.

Known for his warm humor and love for family, Bud is also an enthusiastic amateur woodworker and a collector of pens, watches, and coins. His life remains a source of joy and connection for everyone who knows him.
