Arnold Maxwell Sloane

Arnold Maxwell “Arnie” Sloane passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, on April 13, 2025, in East Windsor, New Jersey, at the age of 92. Born on December 22, 1932, in The Bronx, New York, Arnie lived a life marked by dedication to his family, his profession, and his many passions.

Arnie earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Thomas Edison State University. His career was defined by excellence and leadership as Supervisor of Aeronautical Services in the Aviation Technical Services Division at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. In this role, Arnie not only contributed to the advancement of aviation infrastructure but also served as a proud mentor to many colleagues who benefited from his guidance and expertise.

Arnold lived in East Windsor, NJ before retiring to Boynton Beach, Florida. In 2021, Arnold returned to NJ to brave the cold and spend his remaining years with family and friends.

Arnie is lovingly remembered by his wife, Michele Sloane; his children: daughter Robbin Del Giudice and her husband Rocco; son Jeff Sloane and his wife Lisa; daughter Laura Teman and her husband Michael; daughter Meredith Bucchere and her husband Matt, his grandchildren, Amanda, Jessica, Samantha, Alyssa, Andrew and Daniel, as well as his loving caregiver Mary Fanning. He was predeceased by his parents, Irving and Anne Sloane.

Though an only child, Arnie shared a lifelong bond with his late best friend Dick Cunningham, whom he considered a brother. Their friendship was a cornerstone of Arnie’s life, and it brings comfort to imagine them reunited once again over a game of backgammon.

A man of wide-ranging interests and sharp intellect, Arnie found joy in backgammon, boxing matches, cheering for the New York Giants, solving word puzzles, watching Jeopardy!, playing Wordle daily, performing card tricks with flair, and enjoying tennis. These hobbies reflected both his competitive spirit and love for mental challenges.

A memorial service honoring Arnie’s life will be held on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at Bloomfield-Cooper Jewish Chapel located at 44 Wilson Ave 527 N in Manalapan Township, New Jersey (07726). Visitation with family will take place at 2:00 PM with a memorial service to follow promptly at 3:00 PM.

The family will be sitting Shiva on Tuesday 6-9PM, Wednesday and Thursday 1-4 PM and 6-9 PM with Minyan taking place at 7 PM at 42 Exeter Road, East Windsor, NJ 08520.

May Arnold Maxwell “Arnie” Sloane’s memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire all who were touched by his wisdom, humor, and unwavering devotion.
