At random: "I propose to you a new arm of war, as formidable as it is economical. Submarine navigation, which has been sometimes attempted, but as all know without results, owing to want of suitable opportunities, is now a problematical thing no more." - Brutus de Villeroi in a letter to President Lincoln, 1862

MELGAARD, Leif W., of Boonton, N.J., and High Bar Harbor, N.J., suddenly passed away on Friday, Sept. 7, 2018, in the place he loved on Long Beach Island. Born in Randers, Denmark, to Erik and Joan Melgaard, Leif came to the United States at the age of 11 along with his two brothers. The family settled in Boonton, where they have lived for generations. He graduated from Boonton High School and proudly served in the US Navy as a submariner during the Vietnam War. Leif met and married the love of his life, Barbara Joyce, in Boonton. They dated throughout his service and wed while he was still in the Navy. After the service Leif went to work in the family businesses, Joyce Molding and Troy Hills Manufacturing. He went on to own Troy Hills Manufacturing, working alongside his family. He pretended to retire in 2013. He is survived by his wife of 48 years "the best years of MY life," Barbara (Joyce); children, Michael, Brian and his wife, Amy, Jeffrey and his wife, Rachel; his favorite daughter, Mary and her husband, Eric Boomhower; brothers, Paul and Jens "Chris"; grandchildren, Benjamin, Caitlin, Grace, Penelope, Jolene, Rainer, Paige, and Fayette. Relatives and friends are invited to visit with the family at the Codey & Mackey Funeral Home, 107 Essex Ave., Boonton, N.J., on Tuesday, Sept. 11, from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. A Liturgy of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel R.C. Church, 910 Birch St., Boonton, on Wednesday, Sept. 12, at 10 a.m. The interment is private. To extend condolences or share a memory, please visit codeymackeyfh.com. In lieu of flowers, donations in Leif's memory to the Boonton Kiwanis First Aid Squad would be appreciated. "Tell everyone, I had a great ride." Published in Star-Ledger Sept. 10, 2018
