They raised their children in Sayreville, New Jersey, before moving to Holmdel, New Jersey, where Carol remained until her death. Carol’s funeral will be private, and organized by Holmdel Funeral Home. She is survived by her husband of 63 years and their three children, Jon, Anthony, and Matthew.

Jon has previously shared that his parents provided “incredible support” during his childhood as he pursued his dream of becoming a singer. He told The Big Issue in November 2020, “Even if you weren’t good at your craft, you could work on it if you thought you were.”

I went there.” The musician recounted how his parents would take him to shows when he was 17, allowing him to follow his dreams.“They were always supportive of me, which in retrospect, was incredible,” he said. “Because I could get home at one or two in the morning and still have to be at school at eight o’clock.”
