Charles P. “Zeke” Cziryak, 89, of Gloucester City

If you would like to live in a community in which you take great pride, then dedicate yourself to that with humility and action. Spending your years in this city isn’t just about being neighbors; it’s doing life together. Charles P. “Zeke” Cziryak carried great pride in his country and his city. There are times when we make history, and there are times when history makes us. “Zeke’s” home had contributed to the manpower of our great nation, upholding the ideals of our American freedoms, serving as a Lance Corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps during the very beginning of the Vietnam War. Mr. Cziryak was a kind, generous, and caring family man who just adored his wife, “Dutchie,” his family, country, and his city.

We’ve reached the age where life stops giving things; it now takes them away. But don’t fear sadness, as it tends to sit right next to love. Charles P. “Zeke” Cziryak passed away on Monday, April 6, 2026, at Cooper Hospital, Camden. To the whole world, you were just a husband, father, and pop. To your family, you were our world.

Mural Created by High School Students to be Unveiled at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital

DATE: Tuesday, April 21, 2026

TIME: Noon to 1:00 pm

PLACE: Jefferson Health Cherry Hill Hospital 3rd Floor, Area B: 2201 Chapel Ave West, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002

BACKGROUND:

On Tuesday, April 21, from noon to 1:00 pm, Jefferson Health Cherry Hill Hospital will host art students and teachers from Cherry Hill High School West for an unveiling & luncheon to celebrate the completion of the students’ multi-medium waiting room mural which the students began in September 2025.

The mural, which wraps around three walls of a 3rd floor waiting room on Jefferson’s campus, measures 50 feet x 8 feet, and uses mediums such as acrylic paint, glass mosaics, ceramic tile and photo paper to depict seasonal scenes representative of the New Jersey and Philadelphia region.

The idea for Jefferson’s collaboration with the Cherry Hill High West art students came from Rory Levinson, a nurse manager. As the waiting room doesn’t have windows, Levinson wanted to create a more engaging, comfortable room for patients and visitors to relax in by “bringing the outside in.”
