Roger Jerry Rosenblum

Roger Jerry Rosenblum, of Pittsboro, NC (formerly of Wyckoff, NJ), died peacefully on January 10, 2026, at his home at Galloway Ridge.  Predeceased by his wife, Beth (2014), and his twin brother, Bill (2025).  Survived by daughters Jill and Lori (David), and two granddaughters, Zoë and Isabella.  

Jerry was Executive VP/COO of J. Rosenblum & Sons, an international food-service distributor acquired by Kraft, Inc. in 1986.  Jerry was later associated with several food-service related businesses, civic, and religious organizations.  Jerry was a founding member of Temple Beth Rishon in Wyckoff, NJ.   

He was a beloved member of the Galloway Ridge community, serving on the Finance and Residents Council Committees, and chairing the Dining Committee.  

Jerry’s passions were family, friends, and bringing people joy through food.  You could always find Jerry in the kitchen, talking to the chef, and thinking about menus.  If you knew Jerry, you likely received a lesson from him on how to properly sharpen knives or carve a prime rib of beef.  Jerry loved opera, travel, and architecture.  He will be remembered for his many colorful button-down shirts. 

May his memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.

Private graveside funeral at Cedar Park in Paramus, New Jersey.   

In lieu of flowers, Jerry's family kindly asks that donations be made to Galloway Ridge, Residents’ Benevolent Care Fund, 3000 Galloway Ridge, North Carolina 27312.  The Residents’ Benevolent Care Fund provides peace of mind to Galloway Ridge residents who face financial uncertainty, ensuring no one has to leave their home due to hardship.
