Stephen John Tober, 68, of Holmdel, New Jersey, died on June 3, 2026. He was born on April 11, 1958, in Leominster, Massachusetts.
Stephen lived most of his life in Monmouth County, New Jersey. A graduate of Shore Regional High School, he spent much of his career driving trucks and operating heavy machinery, including licensed work for Stavola Brothers and other companies over the years. Those who worked with him knew him as intelligent, handy, and dependable. Mechanically inclined and always willing to get his hands dirty, he was a hardworking problem-solver who got the job done.
Stephen loved the water. An avid fisherman and boater, he was happiest at the Jersey Shore whether that was out on a boat, on the beach, or up on a jetty with a rod in hand. He also had a lifelong love of music, always listening, often attending live performances, and sometimes even trying his own hand at things like the drums and harmonica. A devoted animal lover, he could spot wildlife from a mile away and was hardly ever without a pet, and usually had more than one.
Above all, he was a storyteller and a natural conversationalist who could strike up a conversation and make a friend of just about anyone. He loved cracking jokes, being a little goofy, and was always looking for new ways to have fun.
Stephen served his country honorably in the United States Navy.
He was predeceased by his mother, Edna, and his father, Donald. Stephen is survived by his daughter, Kaitlin Tober; his son, Stephen Tober, and his wife and daughter; his siblings, Linda Flores-Tober and her husband Carlos Flores, Michael Tober and his wife Patty Tober, Jane Scott and her husband Tom Scott, David Tober and his wife Tricia Tober, and Donna Robertson and her husband John Robertson; and two nieces and six nephews.
Stephen will be remembered for his humor, his stories, and his gift for connecting with people.

Paul Fleischer was born in Oberwart, Austria in 1933. His mother died when he was 2 ½ years old, and he lived with various family members, including his Uncle and Aunt, Jenu and Julia (Lulu) Wurzburger, for many years. When Paul was 10, he re-joined his father, Imre, and stepmother, Trudy, in Budapest. Barely one more year passed before Imre and Trudy were taken away by the Germans and their Hungarian henchman, the Nyilasok. He never saw them again. Left alone at the age of 11, he fended for himself and eventually lived in a Jewish orphanage in Budapest until the Russians liberated them in January 1945.
Soon after the war ended, a family friend wrote Jenu and Lulu, who had emigrated to New York in 1939. Miraculously, they had seen “the Fleischer boy” in Budapest. Jenu and Lulu hired a private detective – who found Paul – then tried desperately to bring him to the United States – but to no avail. Paul remained in the orphanage until 1948, when he was finally granted permission to enter Canada, immediately before the Russians closed the Hungarian border.
Finally, after more than 3 years, Paul immigrated to the United States to live with his Uncle and Aunt in Washington Heights in New York City. They remained like parents to him, supporting him while he went to NYU, where he earned a PhD in Engineering Science in 1961.
In the late 1950’s, Paul met Barbara Herskovits at a party. He fell in love with her at first sight, and they were married in 1961. Paul and Barbara moved to New Jersey, where Paul began a job at Bell Labs focusing on the development of signal processing and the introduction of digital technology. Paul remained at Bell Labs for most of his career, taking great pride in the contributions that he and his colleagues made. He has 10 patents under his name.
Paul was an avid puzzler and a fine bridge player. During the 65 years of their marriage, Paul and Barbara were bridge partners and played frequently together. Paul loved classical music, particularly Brahms, who had “great emotional resonance”. Keenly observant, Paul had a dry wit, though one had to listen carefully, or his insights and humor would pass you by.
Paul died on May 29, 2026, due to complications of Parkinsons. Besides his wife, he is survived by his three children, Michael, Laura (& partner Gary), Daniel (& wife Sarah); and five grandchildren, Jonah, Sophia, Benjamin Fisher (& wife Abigail), Terra Fleischer and Imre Rist. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, dear friend, brilliant bridge player and scientist.
He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Born and raised in Long Branch, New Jersey, Freddy Baker passed away unexpectedly on Friday, June 5, 2026.
Freddy was the only child of Martin and Mary Baker. He attended Long Branch schools, where he formed friendships that would last a lifetime. As a child, Freddy contracted polio, but he never allowed it to define him. Though his condition left him with a noticeable hitch in his step, he faced life with determination, perseverance, and an unwavering work ethic.
Freddy spent many years as a highly respected driver for Crown Beer Distributors. A creature of habit and an early riser, he often began his workday at 3:00 a.m., finishing his route before most people had enjoyed their second cup of coffee. In addition to his career with Crown Beer, Freddy was a familiar and friendly face behind the High Rollers window at Monmouth Park Racetrack, a place where he truly felt at home. Known for always arriving early and rarely missing a day of work, he enjoyed catching up with regular customers and talking about sports, fishing, and life.
During his younger years, Freddy could often be found along the shores of Long Branch, waiting for the striped bass to run or simply enjoying the peace of a sunrise over the ocean.
Freddy was predeceased by his parents, Martin and Mary Baker, and by his beloved life partner, Mary Jo Gallo, with whom he shared 30 wonderful years before her passing in 2012.
He is survived by his daughter, Kimberly Baker Winter and her husband, John, of Rincón, Puerto Rico; his stepson, Dominick J. Mazza Jr., his wife, Nicole, and their sons, Nicholas and Matthew, of Ocean Township.
Freddy was also blessed with many loyal friends who became like family to him, especially Jim and Debbie Parnell, Anne Sczcurek, Muriel “Moo” Capone, and Paul “Squeaky” Macaluso. Their friendship, loyalty, and constant presence enriched his life and brought him great comfort and happiness through the years.
Freddy will be remembered for his strong work ethic, dependability, love of fishing, gift for conversation, and the many friendships he treasured throughout his life.

His music has played a role in several films.
A lover and singer of opera, and an expert in its history, Nicky was often asked by families to perform “Ave Maria” in church on special occasions. He was heavily involved in many charitable organizations and was always quick to help friends with any problem. Indeed, his wife Elaine said that he wanted to be remembered most of all for his commitment to peace and unity among peoples and the care of those who suffer hardship, particularly children in dire need.
He leaves behind a loving family: his wife Elaine, their daughter Michele and her husband Mark Laibe; son Nicky Jr.; grandson Gian Campagna and his wife Maggie; brother-in-law Joe Macaluso and wife Laura; sister-in-law Marilyn and husband Bob Horvath. Nicky also had several nieces, nephews, cousins and very close friends.

Bangwei Lin—a beloved sister, mother, and grandmother—passed away peacefully on June 2nd, 2026, at the age of 88. She touched the lives of those around her, imbuing her sweet personality and steadfast determination into all her endeavors.
Bangwei was born on July 14th, 1938, in Guangdong Province, China, the seventh of nine children.

Though she had traveled around the world—from Australia to Singapore to Europe—she felt the happiest spending quality time with loved ones in the U.S. and China.

Tracy Madonia had an enormous heart for service. For over two decades, she and her husband, Jerry, were proud members of the Cranford Elks Lodge #2006. She poured herself into organizing fundraisers for children with special needs and veterans, giving her time and energy selflessly to causes she believed in. She served as Esquire for three years and was honored as Elk of the Year in 2010. Giving back was not something Tracy did out of obligation; it was who she was. Tracy was the second female to become a member of the Elks Motorcycle Club and proudly rode her pink, sparkly Harley Davidson Fat Boy. Riding was a deep passion she shared with Jerry, and together they created countless memories on the open road.
Above everything else, Tracy’s heart belonged to her family. Her greatest joy was her children and grandchildren. She adored her son, Michael (Lauren), and her stepchildren, Lisamarie (George) and Anthony (Tara), always loving them as if they were her own. Tracy often said that if she had done one thing right in her life, it was raising three incredible children—and she was right. She found happiness in simple, beautiful moments: cooking for those she loved, gathering everyone around the table, and stirring a big pot of her cherished “Sunday Gravy,” filling her home with warmth, laughter, and love.
In addition to her husband and best friend, Jerry as well as her amazing children, Tracy is survived her precious grandchildren, Cecilia, Isabella , David, Caleb & Noelle; her parents, Joseph and Carol Mellaci; sister, Karen (Steve ); half-sister, Chrissy; Godmother, Patricia (Bobby); and many treasured nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends who will always carry her memory forward.

Arthur C. Damiano, known lovingly to family and friends as Art, passed away on May 23, 2026, in Summerfield, Florida at the age of 94. Born September 30, 1931, in Newark, New Jersey, he lived a long and faithful life marked by his hard work, devotion to his family, service to his church, and a warm sense of humor that endeared him to many.
Art was the son of the late Arthur O. Damiano and Anna Scala Damiano and was also preceded by death by two brothers, Joseph and Donald Damiano and his sister Joan Gillease. He carried the values of his upbringing throughout his life. Those who knew him remember a man who was kind, funny, and loving, and who also had a way of making others feel welcomed and at ease.
In his early years Art worked for General Motors. He went on to pursue a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. After returning to New Jersey, he worked for several years in the manufacturing industry. Following his marriage to his wife Dianne (Dahlberg) Damiano, they moved to the Atlanta area where they opened their own business.
Art always found a way to serve his local church. He often joked, “it was the least I could do. If I could have done anything less, I would have done that.” Those words reflected his humor.
Art was very handy and enjoyed fixing things. He will be remembered for his kindness and humor; but most of all Art was a man of integrity. His friends and family will forever cherish the memories of his laughter, his practical wisdom, and the example he set by the way he lived his life.
Though he is no longer with us, his legacy of love, serve, and faith will continue in the hearts of those who knew him. May he rest in the peace of Christ and may those who mourn be comforted by the assurance of God’s eternal care.

Nicola Minniti, Sr., formerly of Long Branch, was known lovingly to all as Nick, passed away peacefully on May 16, 2026, after a brief illness. He leaves behind a life defined by love, laughter, and a warmth that could brighten even the most ordinary day.
Born on September 5, 1959, in Newark, New Jersey, Nick carried that unmistakable Jersey energy wherever he went. He had a gift for bringing life into any room, often arriving with a joke, a story, or a well-timed grin already at the ready. Loving, kind, and generous, he made people feel seen and valued—and, when the moment called for it, gently teased in a way only he could.
Nick was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Donna Lynn Minniti and his father, Fiore Minniti. He is survived by his mother, Conchetta Minniti. He leaves behind his devoted children, Nicola Minniti, Jr., and Stephanie Bond and her husband Michael, as well as his cherished grandchildren, Michael James and Juliet Rose, who were the lights of his life—and, as he would proudly say, the smartest and best-looking kids around.
He is also survived by his siblings: Frank Minniti and his wife Debbie; Angelo Minniti and his wife Jennifer Manna; and Maria Gallo and her husband Ben. Nick will be deeply missed by his extended family, including his brothers-in-law David Demola and his wife Michele, Steven Demola and his wife Linda, and William V. Demola; and his sisters-in-law Ann Marie Weiner and her husband Mark (also one of his closest friends), and Kathleen Perez and her husband David. He was a loving uncle to many nieces and nephews, as well as great-nieces and great-nephews, all of whom knew that Uncle Nick had a special way of making all of the kids feel seen, heard and loved.
Nick’s life reflected both dedication and heart. He studied at DeVry and later earned his Bachelor of Communications from Monmouth University in 2000—proving he could do more than just win arguments at the dinner table. He brought that same determination into his community involvement, serving as Assistant Troop Leader for Troop 65 in Long Branch and Troop 125 in Rumson. There, he guided young people with patience, humor, and a steady presence that left a lasting impact. He was also a proud “band dad” for the Long Branch Green Wave Marching Band, serving as Prop Master and bringing enthusiasm and pride to every behind-the-scenes detail. His compassion and commitment were recognized when he was honored as National MS Society Father of the Year for the Monmouth County Chapter.
Nick appreciated life’s simple joys. He was a devoted fan of the Mets and the Giants—a combination that required equal parts loyalty, patience, and humor. Above all, he treasured time with his “Babies,” Michael and Juliet. Whether it was trips to the park, donut runs, McDonalds by the beach or rides down the hallway on the back of his wheelchair, he turned everyday moments into lasting memories. He understood that joy lives in the small things and treasured every minute with his grandchildren.
Nick will be remembered for his big heart, generous spirit, and remarkable ability to blend humor with comfort. He made people feel important, often when they needed it most, and did so with sincerity and a perfectly timed joke. His life was a gift to all who knew him, and his memory will continue to bring smiles, stories, and laughter for years to come.
Nick Minniti was truly one of a kind. Though he will be deeply missed, his family and friends will carry forward the love, kindness, and humor he shared so freely. His legacy is one of heart, laughter, and connection—a life well lived and deeply felt.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to all who have offered support, prayers, and kindness during this time.
A memorial gathering will be held on Wednesday, May 27, 2026 from 6 pm until the time of the service at 7:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society P.O. Box #91891, Washington DC 20090. The family invites you to leave a letter of condolence by selecting the Tribute/Guestbook link.
