Harold Effron;


Harold Effron of Woodcliff Lake,Bergen County, New Jersey and Naples ,Florida on 03-11-2015, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Spring Valley, Rockland County, New York in 1926 and lived in Woodcliff Lake for 60 years. Beloved Husband to Natalie nee Heller for 60 years.

Cherished son of the late Minnie and David Effron.
Devoted father of Denise and Bill Hayes, Robin Malley and Melissa and Michael Keenan. Adored Poppy of Jason Hoffman, Jenna Malley, Sarah Malley, Samantha Keenan and Zachary Keenan and his devoted assistant Faye Wilson.



Harold Effron was the embodiment of true volunteer spirit. As a 40 plus year trustee and treasurer of the past (PVH) Pascack Valley Hospital, he made the challenge of providing superior hospital care to the residents of Pascack Valley a personal mission.
He was the first Honorary Member of the Volunteer Park Ridge Fire Department, a title he has held for 55 years, as well as an honorary member of the Park Ridge Volunteer Police Reserves. He was also an honorary member of the Volunteer Woodcliff Lake Fire Department.

Many will remember Harold and his wife Natalie serving coffee and all those yummy goodies to warm up firefighters during fires on many bitter New Jersey bold cold nights. Harold, Natalie and daughters also spent more than forty Christmas Eves at Depot Square in Park Ridge serving coffee and hot chocolate to the fire department when they escorted Santa Claus into town atop of fire apparatus, sirens and lights blaring, with gifts and stockings for all the children of Park Ridge residents.

As a Board member, Harold also escorted the Park Ridge Firemen to the past (PVH) Pascack Valley Hospital on every Christmas day for fifty years, giving toys to the children in Pediatrics and stockings to every patient, some of whom commented that Santa and the firemen were going to be the only visitors they would have on Christmas Day. As a Woodcliff Lake Councilman during the 1970's, he served as, Police and Fire Commissioner. He was a member of the board of Liberty National Bank and the regional board of Valley National Bank, as well as serving on the Bergen Community College Nursing Advisory Board.

He was also a member of the Park Ridge Elks and the Masonic Fulton Friendship Lodge 102, both in the Borough of Park Ridge, Bergen County, New Jersey.

In 1974 the Pascack Valley Chamber of Commerce honored him as its first Citizen of the Year, because of all his volunteer work throughout the Pascack Valley.

He was a formerly a merchant in Park Ridge and owned Park Ridge Clothing, as well as the Brand Bar and Beverages and later had a career as a real estate agent, appraiser, builder and investor. His most recent venture was the recently opened Effron Building in Park Ridge, a commercial and residential building in the center of town.
