Obituary Preview: Sean Lewis, of Egg Harbor Township, NJ was called home to rest in God’s arms on Sunday October 24th 2021. Our Sean was born December 17th 1987 in Philadelphia, PA. He was the best Christmas gift ever…Our special gift from God! For the next 33 years Sean was full of life… his warm, soft, compassionate heart was much too big for this world.

Sean grew up with his sister Nicole, who he lovingly called Co-Co. Their bond of complete, pure, unconditional love is unbreakable. Sean’s love for his family was our glue – our strength! It ran so deep that when Sean would give you a hug, one of his favorites, you felt instantly safe, peaceful, secure, and loved … you became family. Sean grew up in Margate City, NJ with his Mom Lydia, Dad Ric, Grandmom Rose, and his best best friend, his Sister, his anchor, Nicole – Co-Co.

Sean lived a beautiful life with tons of friends, he played all of the tradition sports growing up, but then he found his true passion, his love for surfing. Sean was sponsored by Oakley and competed in many different competitions.

Sean then enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served as an airman on the U.S. Nimitz’s flight deck in the Persian Gulf. Sean had an amazing ability to capture the depth and beauty of life through the pictures he took. He told us we would see the world through his eyes and he did just that.

The next chapter of Sean’s life was helping his family take care of his grandmom Rose. There are no words to describe Sean’s huge heart & his pure love for his grandmom…Sean was able to fulfill one of his prayers, which was for his grandmom to pass away surrounded by her family in total love.

The last year and a half of Sean’s young, but fulfilled life, was his best yet! Sean moved to Ocean City, NJ and lived amongst a group of wonderful friends, enjoying the simple life of surfing, working, and meetings. Sean may have departed this earth at a very young age of only 33, but he had an innate ability to make each of us feel uniquely special. Remember that Sean’s hugs will be that gentle warm breeze, and when you see an incredible sunrise or that fabulous sunset that is Sean’s smile. Sean’s love and compassion was huge! In his wonderful spirit Sean is saying to all of us…Take your time… Stay in the moment… Be patient… Your wave is coming!

Survivors include Mom and Dad Lydia and Ric Lewis, Sister Nicole Lewis. Godfather & Uncle Charles Piluso, Godmother & Cousin Linda Gruman, Uncle Ed & Aunt Elaine Lewis, Uncle Jim and Aunt Joan Lewis, Aunt Debbie & Uncle Jim Celia, and numerous cousins.

home paradise.

He enjoyed sharing famous quotes and tidbits of his wisdom including, The Six P’s for Success and Mox Nix. One that resonates the most is This too shall pass (E. Fitzgerald). He was right, that moment in time eventually passed.

Wayne was very active throughout his life. He enjoyed golfing, volleyball and was an avid runner. You could even find him running on his lunch hour on the boardwalk. He also was a supporter of the theatre and was an active patron of both the Walnut Street Theatre and Eagle Theatre.

Regularly, Wayne generously gave blood to the American Red Cross and donated approximately 30 gallons over his lifetime. Additionally, he was a dedicated member of the Atco United Methodist Church and spoke fondly of his church family.

Cooking was Wayne’s place of happiness. He was an outstanding cook and loved talking about it, whether it was his mother’s secret recipe for mashed potatoes or his long hot peppers.

Wayne will be remembered for his great sense of humor, his laughter, and incredible resiliency. He is survived by his four children and their family, Wayne Camp Jr, V. Amy and husband Chuck Miller, Jennifer Camp, and Kyle Camp; grandchildren, Gordon Miller and Charlee Miller; dedicated close friend, Maureen Schulze; and Phoebe-girl, his lovebug kitty.

Wayne, we know you are looking down at us from Paradise eating a bowl of ice cream.

Departed: 10/10/2021 (Ventnor)

Obituary Preview: Rosetta “Rose” DePaola, 73, passed away Sunday October 10, 2021 surrounded by her children.

Rosetta was born February 19, 1948 in Castel Grande, Italy to Philomena and Gerardo DeSantis, as the oldest of two children. She grew up in Italy until she was twelve years old when she made the trip to America alongside her cousin Giovanni.

Rosetta married her long time love Alfonso (Mario) DePaola in January 1967. The couple lived and welcomed their two children in Schenectady, NY, where Rosetta worked as a clerical secretary at St Claire’s Hospital. Rosetta and her husband built a home in Latham, NY at which time she transferred to the Cohoes Hospital Emergency Room. In 1979 they moved to Atlantic City, New Jersey so Alfonso could help to open restaurants in the Playboy Casino Hotel. This move transferred Rosetta to Atlantic City Medical Center. The family moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 1988 where Rosetta worked at Imperial Point Medical Center, same day surgery, for twenty nine years. She held this position until her retirement in 2016, creating many deep and lasting friendships with her coworkers.

Rosetta enjoyed spending her summers in New Jersey with her grandchildren and sister. She spent her weekend mornings drinking coffee and endlessly chatting with her sister and cousins on the telephone. Rosetta loved a good book and enjoyed passing on a great recommendation even more. As Rosetta’s husband was a chef by trade, she would never let that dull her culinary abilities. We will forever miss her cooking especially her meatballs, brasciole, tiramisu, and chicken noodle soup.

Rosetta is predeceased by her mother Philomena DeSantis, husband Alfonso DePaola, and sister Alba DiCarlo. She is survived by her son Giovanni DePaola, daughter Carmela Freund (Michael), Brother in Law Felice DiCarlo, nieces Carmina Velton (Tony), Lisa DiCarlo, granddaughters Krista Simone (Matthew), Alexandra Freund, great grandsons Maddox and Miller Simone, as well as many beloved family members in Italy and the United States.
