Donald is survived by his beloved wife, Karen, his loving children, Jennifer DeFilippis (Randy), David Finelli (Laurie), Andrew Finelli (Cindy) and Mary Finelli (Angela) and his 21 cherished grandchildren.

and his step-children, Sarah Jackson, Alex Davis, Don Davis, Patrick Davis and Lillian Davis.
Don, along with his family, own and operate JDM Andrews Building in Surf City, NJ.
He was an avid pool player, he enjoyed his rounds of golf, and playing the drums with his band Timeless. When the need arose, he would step in to play the drums at church. He will always be remembered for his great sense of humor, not a day went by that he wasn’t making someone laugh.
He cherished the times spent with his family. His Christian faith was very important to him, as was becoming an ordained Pastor.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
