Dennis Karl Sledzik

Dennis K. Sledzik, of Toms River, passed into eternal life on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2011. Dennis was a well respected business man in Ocean County for many years. He was born in Jersey City, raised in East Brunswick and graduated from East Brunswick High School where as a student he realized his interest in the heating and air conditioning business. He so excelled at it that he was offered a position in his instructor's business upon graduation. From there he continued learning at the Fedders Corp. and was immediately put in a supervisory position at the age of twenty. Soon after he moved to Ocean County he started his own business in 1974, D.K. Sledzik Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. as well as Small Electric, Inc. which is still very successful today. Dennis had a big, wonderful personality with an immense love of life and many varied interests, the most important of which was his family. Over the course of his life, he lived it to the fullest, enjoying camping, traveling, vacationing at his home in the Poconos, vacations with his large family, and his friends. He was always open to new adventures and loved life to the fullest. He was a kind and generous man who was always there for his family, friends and for anyone who needed him, his help or advice.
