Rocco William Christopher, known affectionately as “Rocky,” passed away at home surrounded by family on November 12, 2024, at the age of 84. Born on July 27, 1940, Rocky dedicated his life to his faith, family, and community. His smile, jokes, and kindness touched the lives of many.
Rocky attended Long Branch High School, graduating with the Class of 1958. Rocky completed his education at St. Peter’s College and Monmouth College and earned his Masters at Seton Hall with a detour to serve his country in the U.S. Army. He carried the discipline and teamwork from his military service into his teaching and coaching.
As a dedicated teacher and track & cross country coach in Middletown, and a respected official in soccer and track, Rocky earned numerous awards for his dedication, including being a member of the Shore Conference Hall of Fame, earning him a coveted gold card. His contributions impacted countless students and athletes, guiding them not just in the classroom or on the track, but in life.
As lifelong resident of West Long Branch, Rocky was dedicated to serving his community, from receiving the key to the city as a teenager, to founding the local Little League program, to serving over 40 years on the Zoning Board (including as Chairman), to making sure the Public Works Department felt appreciated.
Rocky had an unwavering faith in God, as a lifelong member of Holy Trinity Church in Long Branch. As a Holy Name member, you could often find him at the church, cooking for bingo nights or Lenten dinners, in a Santa suit gifting toys to children in need, or serving as the eldest altar boy on record.
A loving and dedicated family man, he found happiness in being together. He loved grocery shopping and cooking and “going for a ride.” He loved listening to music and dancing with his family and taking annual family vacations to Knoebels Grove. Rocky could infuse a sense of wonder and magic in everything from a birthday or holiday to an oyster shell at dinner to sitting outside with the sun on his face. More importantly to him, he passed along these qualities to his children and his grandchildren.
Rocky is survived by his wife of 54 years, Barbara Ann (nee Sirchio); his daughter, Maria Christopher Bell and her husband, Kevin Bell; his daughter, Teresa Christopher and her husband, Andrew Newman, and his baby, Laura Beth Christopher; and three grandchildren, Lily, KC, and Isabella. Rocky is also fondly remembered by his niece and nephew, Katie Bogardus and Ted Christopher, who were adopted children to him and brothers Gregory and Edward Christopher, along with countless family members and close friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Gregory and Rose Christopher.

James J. Camoosa, 79, of Red Bank, formerly of Oakhurst, died on November 10th at Monmouth Medical Center.
Jimmy was born and raised in Asbury Park; he graduated from St. Rose High School and was a member of the state champion basketball team in 1963, and graduated from Monmouth College. He lived most of his life in Oakhurst, and was a charter member and later president of the Italian American Association of Ocean Township. Over the years, he was a force in the development of the annual Italian American Festival, where he could be found making zeppoles every August. Jimmy was also a long-time member of the Deal Golf and Country Club, where he served for many years as Membership Chairman. Jimmy had more than a few jobs over the course of his life, from banking to auto finance to a limousine service. But it was when he got involved in construction that he found his calling. While he built houses throughout New Jersey, what he loved most was the action, putting contractors and subcontractors together to get the project done. When at home he always had the TV on, flipping between football, golf, and a James Bond movie. He never went a day without playing the lottery, and especially loved scratch-offs.
While he may have had many jobs, finding his calling in construction, it was one of his first jobs that was the most consequential. It was there, at Chase Manhattan Bank in Manhattan, that he and Fran, his wife of 52 years, met. It was maybe a bit of serendipity, when this guy from Asbury Park met this woman recently relocated from Ohio, when their departments were consolidated. They married and moved to Ocean Township, where they lived for 50 years. For many years they spent their Friday evenings and Sunday mornings gathering at Jimmy’s parents’ house for weekly dinners and breakfasts with their large, extended family. He and Fran spent most evenings eating out at various restaurants in Monmouth County, catching up on their days. This is something they especially cherished over the last year.
Jimmy loved his daughter, Gena, and his two grandchildren, Olivia and Miles. He called her almost every day, asking, “Hi my sweetie. How are you and how’s my kids?” They loved going on long drives down the beach together, to the occasional Devils game, and dinners at Vic’s. He wanted to hear about “Pop’s boy” (Miles) and “the Liv” (Olivia) – he had a nickname for almost everyone. He enjoyed taking them to the boardwalk and to Disney World in Florida.
Jimmy was affectionately known as “Moose” to his many friends, who he knew through Deal, the Italian American Association, work, and his Asbury Park neighborhood. Moose loved playing golf and cards with them, and taking trips to Florida, Mississippi, Las Vegas, and Boston. They were like family to him. He was a parishioner of St. Michael’s Church, Long Branch.
Jimmy was pre-deceased by his parents, Fannie and Michael Camoosa, and his sister, Rosemarie Brundage. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Fran Camoosa; their daughter and son-in-law, Gena Camoosa and Brian Connolly, Brooklyn; his grandchildren, Olivia Connolly and Miles Connolly; his brother Michael and his wife, Rosie Camoosa, Wanamassa; his nieces and nephews, Kristin Hand, Andrea Stefanelli, Karen Konawalik, Paul Brundage, and Dean Brundage, and their children.
Christopher Edward Haydu, 64, of Interlaken, passed away on Friday, November 15, 2024 at his home in Interlaken. Chris was born on November 16, 1959, to Edward and Virginia Haydu of Interlaken. Chris went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on the day before his 65th birthday. He was the middle brother of Bruce and JR. Chris graduated from Asbury Park High School in 1978. There he excelled in Baseball, Basketball and Bowling. He attended the University of Delaware where he became a stand-out pitcher.
Chris spent most of his career working in the meat industry where he held positions at Haydu Packing Company, in Neptune – Pioneer Foods, in Long Branch – MidAtlantic Beef Company in Long Branch – and lastly, his own food brokerage company. After meeting the love of his life, “Rosie”, they married in 1988 and raised three beautiful children: Nicole, Rachel, and Matt. Chris made sure to spend quality time with his children coaching them in Ocean Twp. Little League, Rec Soccer and Rec Basketball. He had a love for golf and was an avid Yankees and Packers fan, traveling far and wide with his family to attend games. Chris had an infectious passion for sports, and it was rare to have a conversation with him without the topic veering into the latest game or the performance of a favorite team. His love for sports was matched only by his love for his family, who were his greatest champions. He was a man who celebrated every moment, from family gatherings filled with laughter to quiet evenings spent sharing stories and memories.
His athletic spirit will live on through his grandchildren, as they continue to engage in the sports he adored. We can already imagine him watching over each game, proudly boasting about their achievements from above, humbly bragging to his heavenly audience about their every win and effort. His love for sports was more than just a pastime; it was a way for him to connect with those he cherished most. He taught us that every victory, big or small, should be celebrated and that the true essence of sports lies in camaraderie and joy. Chris is already sorely missed. He was a kind, considerate and generous person; a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather; and a loyal friend who brought happiness to your heart and a smile to your face (often times it was straight-up laughter).
Chris is predeceased by his father, Edward Haydu, and his brother, Edward (JR) Haydu. He leaves behind his mother and 95-year-old matriarch – Virginia Nesbitt Haydu, Interlaken; His loving wife of 36 years – Rose Allegro Haydu, Interlaken; his daughter – Nicole and her husband Chris Spinella & their children Emilia and Nico, Colts Neck; his daughter – Rachel and her husband Sean Hauschildt, & their children Kane, Declan, and Kaylie, Oakhurst; and his son – Matthew, Interlaken. He also leaves a surviving brother – Bruce Haydu and his wife Melissa; and their children – Samantha, Jaclyn, Luke and Juliana and their spouses and children and an amazing array of extended family members. Family and friends are invited to attend the visitation on Wednesday, November 20th from 4- 7pm at Fiore-Buckley Funeral Home, 236 Monmouth Road, Oakhurst, NJ. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Diabetes Association www.diabetes.org. For condolences please visit www.fiorefuneralhomes.com
