Peter Janke, of Chester, rear-ended a garbage truck on Route 206 in Mount Olive early Wednesday, Dec. 18 in Morris County, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office said.
Known for his strong work ethic, Pete was a manager at PLPS Printing Co. in Little Falls, his obituary on the William J. Leber Funeral Home website says.
"Outside of work, he was an avid gardener with a passion for tending to his plants and maintaining his lawn," his obituary reads. "He found great joy in riding his John Deere mower. A devoted sports fan, Peter proudly supported the New York Yankees and New York Giants, sharing his enthusiasm with those around him."
Survivors include his wife, Flordeliza Flores; his three children, Christopher Janke, Corey Janke, and Brianna Janke; and his three stepchildren, Rafael Flores and his wife Regina, Jesse Flores, and Daryl Flores; his mother, Elaine Kozen, and stepfather, Kenneth Kozen; his two grandchildren, Noah and Rinoa; his two sisters, Denise Doychak and Lauren Kozen; his niece/goddaughter, Andrea Doychak and his two dogs, Nacho and Bluey. He is preceded in death by his father, Peter Van Ostrand Janke, Sr.
