Obituary:

JOHN STRONG TRIEM, died peacefully in his sleep at his daughter's home in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, on August 6, 2008. He was born to Vivian Strong and William Triem on April 3, 1916 in Delaware, Ohio and attended high school at the Greenbrier Military Academy in Lewisburg, West Virginia, where he graduated in 1933. He graduated from Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon University) in 1938. Upon graduation, he began a lifetime career for the Navy Department designing aircraft carriers and accessory equipment. Except for a brief assignment to private aircraft engineering during the Korean War, he spent his entire career as a civilian engineer in the Navy Department, first at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia in 1939-1940, then at the Main Navy Building in Washington, D.C., until 1956, and then at the National Air Development Center in Johnsville, Pennsylvania, until his retirement in 1970. During World War II and the Korean War, John's principal activity was designing arresting gear for aircraft carriers, and his most important professional achievement was his design of the canted deck for use on aircraft carriers which allowed planes that missed the arresting gear to take off again instead of colliding with parked planes in the forward deck area. During the Vietnam War, John participated in a project in which sound detection devices were dropped by parachute along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. These stealthy microphones picked up the noise of Viet Cong truck traffic and transmitted it back to allied receivers, thus allowing the U.S. to sever enemy transport lines and the timely destruction of enemy war supplies. After his retirement he founded Triem Engineering Services, a private consulting firm, where he continued to work until the 1980's. He spent the last thirty-three years in Margate, New Jersey. John was predeceased by his first wife, Dorothy Helen Egli of Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, and by his second wife, Doris Ilene Jacob of Louisville, Ohio. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Sandra and George Norcross of Cherry Hill, New Jersey; by his son and daughter-in-law Fred W. Triem and Karen Ellingstad of Petersburg, Alaska; by his sister and brother-in-law, Prudence and Frederick Woodward of Lake City, Michigan, by his brother Daniel W. Triem of Las Vegas, Nevada, and by his four grandchildren, Alessandra and Alexander Norcross of Cherry Hill, New Jersey; Kathleen Triem of Ghent, New York; and Carole Triem of Petersburg, Alaska; and by his 3 great grandchildren; 2 nieces; and 4 nephews. Memorial service and interment will be private. The family respectfully request contributions in his memory be made to the First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19103. PLATT MEMORIAL CHAPELS, Inc.

Frederick Woodward, 84, passed away August 13 at Belle Oakes Assisted Living Center, Lake City, MI. Frederick was born on May 17, 1924 to Richard Woodward and Helen (Ahrens) Woodward in Philadelphia, PA. He served in the U.S. Navy in World War II as radioman on a LSM and was at the landing at Iwo Jima. He attended the University of Michigan and was a member of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity in school, and continued as an active member for many years. Fred was employed by Eastern Airlines for 35 years. His work provided the family opportunities to travel to many places, including Europe and Hong Kong. He was an active member of the First Congregational Church in Royal Oak, Michigan and belonged to the “Rolling Hills” camping club, located north of the Detroit area on Mud Lake. Many fond memories with family and friends were made there. Both he and his wife, Prudence (“Pat”) volunteered at the Detroit Zoo in their lovely butterfly garden and went on every zoo trip that was offered. They were also volunteer ushers at the Fisher Theater. Fred was a member of the YMCA Indian Guides with son Charlie. His first love was his garden and all things that grew, even though he was known to over-water them (even the artificial ones). He is survived by his wife, Prudence (Triem) Woodward; two sisters, Dr. Virginia Woodward of Bloomington, Indiana, and Priscilla Woll of Rixeyville, Virginia; four sons, Rev. Richard (Martha) Woodward of Dunstable, Massachusetts; William (Patti) Woodward of Lake City, Michigan; John (Gwen) Woodward of Ames, Iowa; and Rev. Charles (Lisa) Woodward of Westerville, Ohio; and nine grandchildren, Isaac (Meghan), Karl, Bethany, Allyscia, Patricia, Nicholas, Andrew, Ethan, and Paul Woodward; and the newest addition, RuthAnne, his great-granddaughter, nine months old. He will be welcomed home by those who have gone before him: Brother John Woodward, and grandson, Daniel Woodward, both who died as infants; brothers-in-law, Arthur Woll and John Triem, as well as parents, other family and friends. Memorial services will be held on a date and time yet to be determined at Belle Oakes Assisted Living Center, Lake City, and on August 21st at 11:00 am at the First Congregational Church, Royal Oak. There is also an opportunity to meet and visit with the family at the First Congregational Church on August 20th from 4 - 7 pm. Interment will be in the First Congregation Church’s memorial garden. Memorials may be directed to the First Congregational Church of Royal Oak or Heartland Hospice of Michigan.
