"Mr. Wilentz, who has an apartment in Perth Amboy and a home in Deal on the Jersey Shore, also has an apartment in Manhattan, where he has stayed virtually every night since October 1984, when his wife, Jacqueline, began undergoing chemotherapy for cancer in New York City. Mr. Wilentz said he hoped to be able to resume his former routine of staying in his Perth Amboy apartment five nights a week and visiting the Manhattan apartment only on weekends, if his wife's condition continues to improve.... He said that he voted and paid his taxes from his 166 Water Street address in Perth Amboy and that he considered New Jersey his home." </li> <li id="cite_note-262"><a href="#cite_ref-262">^</a> <a href="/wiki/David_Stout" title="David Stout">Stout, David</a>. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.nytimes.com/1996/07/24/nyregion/robert-wilentz-69-new-jersey-chief-justice-dies-court-aided-women-and-the-poor.html">"Robert Wilentz, 69, New Jersey Chief Justice, Dies; Court Aided Women and the Poor"</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a>, July 24, 1996.
