Celebrating 50 years of marriage in Parsippany

PARSIPPANY — Before the recent Parsippany-Troy Hills Town Council meeting, Parsippany Mayor James Barberio, right, honored Bruce and Karen Rand on their 50th wedding anniversary. The couple has lived in Parsippany for all of those years.

Mayor James Barberio presented the Rand’s with a proclamation that read:

Mayor James Barberio read the proclamation to the Rands
Mayor James Barberio read the proclamation to the Rands

Whereas, the year was 1965 and the place was University of Maryland where Bruce Rand first caught glimpse of Karen Smith wearing a lovely blue dress and carrying a flute. Never before had he seen anyone more beautiful and it was no doubt that it was love at first sight; and

Whereas, Karen Smith and Bruce Rand were shortly thereafter united in marriage on February 18, 1966 and are now celebrating their golden wedding anniversary; and

Whereas, the newlyweds settled in Maryland where Bruce worked in a bank while attending school and Karen was a stay-at-home mom until working in an insurance company to help put Bruce through college; and

Whereas, as a certified public accountant with Touche Ross & Co., Bruce often moved his family around until finally settling in Parsippany in 1983 where they have resided ever since; and

Whereas, over the course of their marriage, Karen and Bruce raised two lovely daughters, Jennifer and Victoria, and their wonderful family continues to flourish with son-in-law, Andy, and two beautiful granddaughters, Logan and Taylor; and

Whereas, this is an important milestone in their lives marking fifty years of love, devotion and mutual support that enable them to be the strong loving couple they are and the good friends and caring neighbors they have been to so many throughout the years.

Now, Therefore, I, James R. Barberio, Mayor of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills, do hereby extend personal congratulations to Bruce and Karen Rand on the occasion of their fiftieth wedding anniversary, and further extend best wishes for continued health and happiness in the years ahead.
