Patrice, Passaic in this case probably means the city of Passaic, located in Passaic County. I recall a recent discussion on the Passaic County list about city directories for the city of Passaic, so I know they do exist. Have you tried checking directories from the 1930s for the city of Passaic? Did he have any other relatives in the US? If so, he may have been buried in one of their cemetery plots. In my family, distant relatives seem to have been put in graves simply because there was a need and room to spare in a plot. The city of Passaic had a large Polish population in the early 1900s. Maybe you could try one of the Polish churches there. I'm not familiar with Passaic City (my ancestors lived in Paterson and Newark), but I did find two Polish churches in Passaic still in existence: St. Joseph's (started 1892) at 7 Parker Ave, Passaic, NJ 07055 (phone 973-473-0921 Holy Rosary (started 1918) at 6 Wall St, Passaic, NJ 07055 (phone 983-473-1578). I wish you luck in your search!
