Founding father of Wildlife Preserves Robert Perkins passed away; 89

PARSIPPANY —  Robert (Bob) Logan Perkins, Jr., 89, was born on June 23, 1927 and passed away on June 16, 2017, just a few days short of his ninetieth birthday.

Robert’s legacy is preserving vast freshwater marshland in the central Passaic River Basin from Great Swamp north to Black Meadows, Troy Meadows and Great Piece Meadows.

He is the founding father of Wildlife Preserves, Inc., a private, nonprofit land conservation organization dedicated to the preservation of natural areas, open space, wildlife, and wildlife habitats for conservation, education, and research. He was an avid bird watcher and could recognize thousands of birds and hundreds of bird calls.

He was known for walking through swamps with a pair of binoculars and a canoe paddle to blaze his way. He was one of 105 students attended The Putney Boarding School in Putney, Vermont and graduated Yale in 1955.

In his youth, he raised funds from rich, private philanthropists who loved birds; he charmed hundreds of land owners and bought thousands of acres of natural lands under the name of Wildlife Preserves, Inc.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service praised Bob Perkins regarding his accomplishment for consolidating hundreds of individual lots of land into one contiguous parcel at Troy Meadows; a letter written in 1960 from the Fish and Wildlife Service states, “(He) did what no one else was able to do before him.” Wildlife Preserves donated, sold, and in some cases its lands were taken to create many parks and forests in the Northeast. Parts of the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuges, the Fire Island National Seashore and three Morris County Parks were saved and once owned and by Wildlife Preserves.

Mr. Perkins acquired marshlands from the Delaware Bay in Delaware and southern New Jersey, north through the Pine Barrens, along the central Passaic Basin to the Appalachian mountains of northern New Jersey, through New York State, and as far north as New Hampshire and Maine.

He acquired more land than he could keep track of and lost lots of parcels to foreclosure for lack of paying property taxes.

Born on June 23, 1927, in Stamford Connecticut, lived in Riverside, Greenwich, Connecticut, Essex Fells, and Tenafly. Survived by his first cousins, Gertrude (Klenke) Morron, Lafayette, Colorado and Anne (Klenke) Weiss, Meadville, Pa.

Newark man convicted of aggravated manslaughter for killing Parsippany Mini-Market Owner

PARSIPPANY — Acting Essex County Prosecutor Robert D. Laurino announced that an Essex County jury has convicted Ivery Brinson, 29, Newark of aggravated manslaughter for killing Narendrak Patel, 52, Parsippany.

Following a trial before the Honorable John Zunic, Judge of the Superior Court, in addition to aggravated manslaughter, Brinson was also found guilty of conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery, felony murder, conspiracy to commit carjacking, carjacking, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

Assistant Prosecutor Purva Deshpande, who tried the case with Assistant Prosecutor Anthony Scibetta, said, “This was a horrid crime committed against a hardworking business owner. It is our hope that the guilty verdict will bring a measure of comfort to the Patel family.’’

On June 19, 2013 the defendant, his two brothers and a cousin entered the Irvington Mini-Market located at 130 Myrtle Avenue, Irvington. The defendant pointed a handgun at the victim and announced a robbery, saying “You know what it is.”

Mr. Patel pulled out a wooden stick. Before he could do anything with the stick, the defendant fired three times and struck the victim one time in the torso. The four males then robbed the cash register and left the store. As they ran off, they saw a 74-year-old man parking in the driveway. The defendant pointed the gun at that man and carjacked him. The four men entered the car and drove it the Bradley Court Housing Complex in Newark where they abandoned the vehicle.

The three co-defendants have all pled and are awaiting sentencing. The co-defendants are Shakil Brinson, 25, Deion Brinson, 21, and Carnell Colbert, 26, all of Newark.

Sentencing for Ivery Brinson is scheduled for August 3. When he is sentenced by Judge Zunic, he faces life in prison. Brinson has a prior conviction for reckless manslaughter from 2009.

Vendor at Parsippany Coin and Stamp Show pleads guilty to gun charge

PARSIPPANY — A Hasbrouck Heights man pleaded guilty Friday to unlawful possession of a weapon, a second degree crime, in a case brought by the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office under the direction of Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp.

William Wetzler Jr.,  59, entered the plea before Judge Thomas Critchley in state Superior Court, Morristown.

Wetzler faces a three-year term in New Jersey State Prison with one year parole ineligibility when sentenced  on August 18. The judge previously had sided with the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office in denying Wetzler’s request to enter the county’s Pretrial Intervention Program, which could have led to the charges being dismissed.

Wetzler admitted to bringing a loaded firearm, a Walther PPK/S .380-caliber handgun, to a coin show at the PAL Youth Center, 33 Baldwin Road, on May 1, 2016.

Wetzler had the gun in his pocket and it accidentally discharged. A bullet ricocheted off the floor and struck another individual at the show who was not injured.

Wetzler acknowledged in court that he did not have a New Jersey permit to legally carry a weapon. 

The state’s case is being handled by Assistant Prosecutor Alexis Keller.
