Louis J. Morbelli, Jr.

Beloved Husband, Father, and Grandfather, Louis (Louie) J. Morbelli Jr. 86, of the Holiday City Heights section of Berkeley Township died on Saturday, October 19, 2024.

Born in Brooklyn, NY, and raised in Manhattan until the age of 12.  He resided in Staten Island, Pennsylvania, and Bayville before settling in Holiday Heights.

He was a U.S. Army Veteran and worked as a Custodian Engineer for the Board of Education, City of New York.  Louie was a proud member of Local 891 International Union of Operating Engineers, American Legion Post 129, Toms River, and was a parishioner of St. Maximilian Kolbe RC Church, Berkeley Twp. Louie's biggest joy was spending time with his grandchildren.  You could always find him out fishing and crabbing in the nice weather.  He was an avid hunter with his brothers-in-law, Harry, Reis, and son, Louis.  In his spare time, he enjoyed traveling with his wife, gardening, and woodworking.  If his grandchildren could imagine it, he would build it for them. 

He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Florence (Tramutola), son Louis J. III (Christine), daughter Donna Harkins (Jimmy) and 4 grandchildren; Christopher (Megan), Alexa, Thomas, and James, his sister-in-law Linda Kain (Reis) and 10 nieces and nephews.  Louie was predeceased by his parents, Luigi and Teresa, and brother Peter.
