Jim was born in Bethpage, NY where he lived through the Great Depression and graduated from Farmingdale HS in 1944 at the height of World War II. He proudly served his country in the US Navy Air Corps as a radioman and then trained as a pilot. Following his military service, he studied Chemical Engineering and was an avid lacrosse player at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and graduated in 1951.

A warm and generous man with a great sense of humor, he was happiest when surrounded by family and friends.

Paul Bender - May 01, 1957 - August 01, 2018

Departed: 08/01/2018 (Bayville)

Obituary Preview: Paul G. Bender, 61, of Bayville passed quietly at home Wednesday, August 1, 2018. The youngest of six children, Paul was born May 1, 1957, in Newark, New Jersey, to the late Charles and Helen Bender.

Raised in South Orange, Paul moved to Bayville to help his brother Charlie run the family marina in 1971. Central Regional High School was a far cry from the routine Paul previously had up North at Our Lady of Sorrows and he fell in with a rowdy crowd who have remained faithful friends to this day.

With his passion for saltwater, Paul began working on a tuna boat after he was invited to leave Central Regional upon turning 16, and continued to work on both commercial and charter boats throughout his life. Paul’s skills as a fisherman were unparalleled and his ability to charm customers as a First Mate was widely known on Long Beach Island.

When he wasn’t fishing, Paul traveled to music festivals throughout the East Coast, where he met his wife Karla in 1996. During their marriage, they shared this love of music through volunteering at many festivals. Their festival family members knew Paul as “Fishboy” and his photographs and audio recordings of concerts are cherished by both musicians and fans. Paul also enjoyed photographing the many birds that graced his backyard and the marshes of Bayville.

While Paul’s first marriage, to Margaret Jamieson, was short, it blessed him with a son and stepson. He was so proud of both of them and the parents that they have become; spending time with his spirited grandchildren gave him joy.

Paul is predeceased by his parents, sister, Catherine Cocolotta, niece, Trissy Cocolotta and beloved aunt, Mary Kalinowski.

Paul is survived by his devoted wife, Karla Ivarson; son, Daniel Bender and his wife Stephanie of Bayville; stepson, Christopher Jamieson and his partner Loreal Furfaro of Lacey; brothers, Charlie Bender and his former wife Ruth of Pennsylvania; Fred Bender and his wife Sue of Florida; Tommy Bender and his wife Janet of Florida; sister, Margaret Coyman and her husband Sandy of Maryland; grandchildren, Connor Jamieson, Henry Bender, Evan Bender, Juliet Bender as well as a multitude of cousins.

Departed: 07/20/2018 (Bayville)

Obituary Preview: Brian Matthew Cassidy, 34, of Bayville, NJ died on Friday July 20, 2018 at Community Medical Center in Toms River, NJ. Brian was born in Toms River, NJ and lived in Bayville, NJ.

Brian was a simple, loving “little guy”, as his mom affectionately called him. It didn’t take much to see Brian happy and when he laughed it was simply contagious. Brian’s favorite pastime was listening to music, he had a love of Rock and Roll and oldies. Mom and Brian danced to many of those happy songs. He loved to watch Jeopardy. Brian loved hearing the Happy Birthday Song- anywhere, anytime and for anyone! He loved long adventure rides in the car while sharing a snack. Brian loved the sound of motorcycles passing by and fireworks from a distance.

Brian had a huge smile and laugh that brightened everyday for his family. Even though Brian was categorized as “Special Needs,” it was actually him who taught the rest of us how to live life and to enjoy the simple pleasures that life has to offer. Brian was a life member at Lehmann Center of LADCIN Network in Lakewood, NJ which he enjoyed very much. Brian was the most special and the most innocent of all people. Everyday he saw and smiled to his guardian angel. He is with her now. We love you always “Little Guy”

Surviving is his mother Michelle Feery and stepfather Pete Feery; his father Thomas Cassidy; his brothers Patrick Cassidy and Kyle Feery and his sisters Laura Cassidy and Rachel Feery.
