Jack Wilfred Denholtz, 92, of Palm Beach, Fla., died June 24, 2017. He was born in Newark.
A real estate developer, Mr. Denholtz established what has now become the 66th year of Denholtz Associates, where he was a developer of single-family homes, industrial and office parks, and rental housing for the middle class.

He served as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Forces.

He offered his expertise to other institutions and was past president of the Falls Country Club and of his residential condominium.
He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Shirley; his daughter, Susan Denholtz of Florham Park; two sons, Steven (Lisa) of Oceanport and Stewart of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.; a sister, Rhoda Denholtz of Short Hills; five grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
