Fred J. DeSabatino

On November30, 2024 of Washington Township. Beloved husband of the late Alma (nee Heslin). Devoted father of Elizabeth (Michael Wassmer), Andrew (Debbie), Andrea (Bob), Jeffrey (Barbara), and the late Raymond and Alfred DeSabatino. Loving grandfather of Alicia (Matt), Nicholas (Nicolette), Regina, Bobby, Dominic, and Andrew. Proud great grandfather of Cooper, Cameron and Cash. Fred is also survived by his daughters-in-law Diane and Claire DeSabatino

Born and raised in Dilltown, Pa, Fred was a proud Marine who attended Virginia Military Institute.

He dedicated more than two decades of his life to serving his country with honor and distinction. In his civilian life, he became a successful and admired businessman, known for his work ethic and integrity.

Fred’s legacy is one of love, humility, and strength. He showed us that true greatness is found in kindness, that love is proven through actions, and that the most important things in life are family and faith. His wisdom and quiet strength were the foundation of his family, and his example will continue to guide them.

For more than 65 years, Fred shared an extraordinary bond with the love of his life, Alma. His family finds solace in knowing they are now reunited, watching over their loved ones together.

Rest in Peace Dad! Hug Mom for us. We love you and will carry your love and lessons with us every day.

Family and friends are invited to attend his viewing Tuesday, December 10th 9:15 – 10:45 am at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, 176 Stagecoach Road, Washington Twp. Mass of Christian Burial 11:00 am. Interment, Gloucester County Veteran Memorial Cemetery, Williamstown, NJ.

DeSabatino family. We are so sorry. Fred was the unknown uncle when I married Drew. An uncle by marriage, but he soon became a dear friend. He was a man of pride, humility and character. He quickly became a close mentor and advisor in my career. We vacationed with Fred and Alma in Hawaii and cherish so many memories. He would tell us he was always ready for duty, both domestic and foreign. Fred, thank you for being my buddy. Rest in peace with your dear Alma. Love Harry and Drew

My sincere condolences to the family. Fred is a legend who moved his family to the back of the Square in the early 70’s when families were big and luxuries little. I befriended his daughter Beth - the new girl who always had nice clothes that she graciously shared with her newfound friends. The family was humble so nobody knew what a successful business man Fred had become. Rest in peace Fred and thanks for keeping the full bar stocked in your man cave. xoxox

Semper Fi good neighbor!
Bill Riling left a message on December 1, 2024:
I'm so sorry for your family's loss but how lucky you were to have him for so long. Fred was one heck of a father and one hell of a Marine. When we were kids playing at the DeSabatino household, one stern look from Fred (who we nicknamed "Ferocious") might actually cause a kid to wet himself. But he was just as quick to break into a smile and laugh. He was always well respected and loved. He will be misssed.
