				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Richard “Rick” Vincent Montana, age 59, born in Vineland and resident of Pittsgrove, NJ, passed away on Monday, September 28th of 2026, after a three-year aggressively fought battle with liposarcoma.

Rick is survived by his life partner, Sonya Hastings; children, Danielle (Mike), Anthony, Angelina, Julia and Abigail; his twin grandchildren, Noah and Elliot; his mother, Joan Hathaway; stepfather, Edgar Hathaway; sister-in-law, Linda Harper; dogs Cooper and Malibu and about 50 other pets.

Rick was predeceased by his grandfather, Burroughs Timberman; grandmothers, Helen Timberman, and Frances Montana Wiltz; and mother-in-law Martha Koziel.

Capturing his personality in writing is nearly impossible, but Rick was a legend larger than life. If you knew Rick, you knew his advice and his helping hand. He was personal and thoughtful, with decades of experience and unmatched wisdom that meant he had the answer to everything. Whether navigating health challenges, a relationship issue, a speeding ticket, what bet to make on the Eagles or how to fix something at home - he knew exactly what to say or do in a way that left every person he encountered both laughing and inspired.

Rick’s entire life centered around his family - which included his children, grandchildren, parents, and any suffering animal that ever crossed his path and ended up in his bathtub being nurtured back to health. He made the world a better place because his life’s mission was to work hard, play harder and absolutely maximize the quality time with the people he loves the most.

Rick was a kid at heart and found joy anywhere there was a motor, open water, or speed. Whether he was out on his boat fishing, going dirt bike racing with his kids, or buying something on Facebook marketplace 400 miles away, he lived for the kind of fun that came with a great story afterward.

Rick was a lifelong member and current serving Vice President of Elmer, NJ’s Four Sixes Deer Club, a position he took extreme pride in and a place where his loss will be insurmountably felt. After receiving a degree in Business Management, he made a successful career in construction, owning and operating his own business for most of his life.

He will be missed beyond explanation - but we feel deep peace in knowing that he is finally no longer in pain.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in memory of Rick to the South Jersey Regional Animal Shelter (AHS South), <a href="https://ahs.givecloud.co/give.">https://ahs.givecloud.co/give.</a>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Stephen E. Landis, Sr. has gone home to be with the Lord. Steve passed on September 22nd, 2026. Steve had been a resident of Complete Care of Voorhees for the last 2 years. He suffered a stroke on Sunday, September 13th and passed away, peacefully, at the Samaritan Center of Mt Holly.

Steve was born and raised in Pennsville, NJ in 1950, to Earl Landis and Iva Jean (Jackel). He attended Pennsville Memorial HS, and married his high school sweetheart, Mickey Miller, and had 1 son, Steve, Jr. He graduated from Lincoln Technical Institute and worked all his life as a welder. He had to retire early due to Parkinson's Disease.

Steve was one of the hardest working men you'd ever have the pleasure to meet. He would do anything to lend a hand to anyone who was in need. He bought a large piece of property just outside of Bridgeton and built his dream home in the woods.

Once known as a bit of a rabble rouser in his youth, Steve found the Lord in the early 1980s and was saved. He attended Ambassador Baptist Church on Hook Rd in Pennsville for many years. His handy work can still be seen with the wrought iron handrails that still grace the church's handicap entry ramp.

Steve is survived by his son, Steve, Jr. and wife, Olivia. Grandchildren Emma, Isaac, Jonah, and Benjamin. His sister, Joan Dickens, and his brothers Ray Landis and Michael Landis, along with many nieces and nephews.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Robert Liable, Jr., 252 Park Drive, Bridgeton, passed away on September 18, 2026.

Bobby has gone to be with his Lord and Savior, leaving behind his family and loved ones who will forever cherish his memory. Born in Salem, Bobby resided in Bridgeton, previously living in Pennsville.

He is survived by his wife Denise (Ecret); his mother, Marie; and his children Hilary, Katie, Paige, Bekah, his stepdaughters, Charnise, Phylicia, and Kelsey; siblings, Joanne (Paul), Deborah, Louise (Keith), and John (Lavonne). Additional family members include grandchildren Kaleb and Emilee. Bobby was predeceased by his father Robert Liable Sr. and brother, Edward.

Bobby graduated from Salem High School and proudly served four years in the United States Army, where he was stationed in Panama. He went on to build a 40-year career as a carpenter and retired from the Northeast Carpenters Union, Local 255, originally Local 542.

Bobby was a member of the Buckshorn Sportsman Club, where he enjoyed archery, the shooting range, pellet shooting, and black powder. He also enjoyed traveling, visiting flea markets, taking long drives, and planning his next project with his wife, Denise.

Bobby and Denise shared a deep love for their dogs, who were truly part of their family. He spent countless hours throwing balls and playing with Oliver, Sadie, Jada Mae, Dakota, and Jackson.

Bobby was happiest when he was busy working on a project or building something with his hands. He was known for his ability to fix, create, and figure things out, and he was always willing to teach others and share the knowledge he gained throughout his years in the trade. While Bobby did not enjoy reading, he did enjoy listening to God's Word and sermons, as well as gospel hymns and classic country music, which were a meaningful part of his life.

Above all, Bobby loved spending time with his family. He enjoyed playing games, laughing, joking, and creating memories with the people he loved. His sense of humor, generous spirit, willingness to help, and love of building and creating will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Contributions to honor Bobby's memory can be made to Pennsville VFW, 171 S. Broadway, Pennsville, NJ 08070.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Dominick "Doc" Anthony DiMarzio, 89, of Pennsville, NJ, passed away at his home on September 15, 2026. Born on December 3, 1936, Doc spent his 89 years loving his family, friends, and faith.

Doc worked for many years at DuPont Chambers Works, where he earned the respect of his coworkers by showing up and working hard, day in and day out. He was also a devoted parishioner of St. Mary's Catholic Church, and his faith was a steady part of who he was.

The man never sat still. Doc always had something going—usually several things at once. He grew tomatoes and peppers in the garden and loved his fig trees. He was a master of Italian cooking, making sauce, pasta, and baked goods that everyone looked forward to. He loved a good round of golf. Doc also loved the beach, and Ocean City was the place to be—surf fishing with his buddies at the crack of dawn, then spending the rest of the day enjoying time with family and friends.

Doc never met a stranger, and he would talk to anyone who would talk back. He had a smile and a sense of humor that people remembered, both of which lasted right up until the end.

Family meant everything to Doc. He is survived by his sons, Michael (wife Diane) and James (wife Monique); his daughters, Lisa (husband Jeff) and Nicol; his second wife, Gail; his stepdaughter, Tiffany; and his grandchildren, Michael, Aidan, Kristen, Evan, Elayna, and Eli.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Louise; his grandson, Tyler; his siblings, Rose Ellis, Jeanne Elliott, Elena (Helen) Freuler, and Frank DiMarzio; and his parents, Pietro and Angelina DiMarzio.

Doc lived a full life, and he lived it his way—with resilience, love, and a whole lot of heart. He will be missed by everyone lucky enough to have known him.

Donations can be made to Pennsville Visiting Nurses. Burial will be private.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[In loving memory of Stephen Eli Shelton

Stephen Eli Shelton, a lifelong resident of Pittsgrove, New Jersey, was born on September 26, 1943, and was called home on September 14, 2026. He will be remembered for his kindness, strength, generosity, and wisdom. Steve had a remarkable ability to make people feel loved, welcomed, and cared for.

In Steve's earlier years, he proudly operated the linotype machine for the Bridgeton evening newspaper. In 1972, he met the love of his life, Sherry, together they built their dream home, raised their family, and found joy and love in the simple pleasures of life.

Steve had an exceptional work ethic and took immense pride in providing a nurturing and loving home for his family. He could be found six days a week sharing stories, laughter, advice and music knowledge with his customers and friends at his shop, the Factory Outlet Sewing Center, which was family-owned and operated since 1973.

On Tuesday nights, Steve delighted in hosting and sharing his passion for music on his radio show, the Bluegrass Hour and Country Classics. Steve and his family had many cherished traditions. Some of his happiest moments were spent at the Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival, which he attended annually for over 40 years. Steve also enjoyed leisurely rides on his Honda Goldwing, Sunday morning walks at the flea market, and picking his banjo.

Steve had an appreciation for nature and loved being outdoors, he could often be found tending to his garden and embarking on late-night walks to the corner looking for the Big Dipper. The thing that meant the world to him was being able to spend quality time with his family and friends.

Steve is survived by his beloved wife Sherry, with whom he shared 54 years of marriage with; his children Andrew, Jeffery (Kelly), June and Sharon; his grandchildren Trisha, Jimmy, Jake and Kaylee; his sister Brenda along with many dear friends who lives were touched by his kindness and friendship.

Before his departure, Steve was preceded in death by his son Stevie; his sisters Evelyn, Marie, Helen, Dot, Jody, Vonita, and Ruth; along with his brothers Buddy and Danny.

Although Steve is no longer physically beside us, his love and legacy will endure through countless memories, stories, and valuable lessons he imparted. He was a devoted husband, an exceptional father, and the epitome of a loving Pop-pop. He will forever remain a source of strength and our Superman.

Rest peacefully, until we meet again.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Kay Pedrick, age 78 of Alloway, New Jersey, passed away peacefully at her home in Alloway on Sunday, September 13, 2026.

She was also the proud owner and operator of her beloved craft shop, "Just Sew," in Alloway, NJ, where she enjoyed sharing her creativity and love of crafting with others.

Among all of her accomplishments in life, Kay's greatest joy and biggest blessing was her family. She was especially proud and grateful to be "Grammy Kay," a role she cherished more than anything. Her grandchildren brought her immeasurable happiness, and she treasured every moment spent loving, supporting, and making memories with them.

Kay is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Bob; her three sons, Danny of Sewell, NJ, Barry (Tara) of Alloway, NJ, and Kevin of Alloway, NJ; and her four grandchildren, Ryan of Middletown, NJ, Matthew of Elsinboro, NJ, and Megan and Andrew of Alloway, NJ.
