The family also appears is St. Joseph's Catholic Church at South 10th and Mechanic Streets 50th Anniversary book, published in 1942. Vincent Pavlak was then working at the New York Shipbuilding Corporation shipyards.

His sister is listed at that address in the 1956 New Jersey Bell Telephone Directory. Nicholas Pavlak was appointed to the Camden Police Department on September 16, 1948. By December of 1957 he had been promoted to Detective, and assigned to the juvenile division, where he spent the balance of his career. He was still a detective with the Camden Police Department as late as 1977. The 1959 New Jersey Bell Telephone Directory lists Nicholas Pavlak at 1778 Norris Street. By this time he had married and started a family. He remained at that address into the mid-1970s. By 1977, however, Nicholas Pavlak had moved to Turnersville, New Jersey with his wife Jean and their children. Nicholas Pavlak spent the last days of his life as a resident of Jupiter Beach, Florida.
