I’m so sorry for your loss. Declan was one of the most gentle souls I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He’s already an Angel and he’ll be missed by many. RIP Declan. I’ll never forget the night we were all dancing on Digney’s station wagon to The Dead in the Pavilion parking lot. Have a dance with Toni and enjoy. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💔😇

As a smiling, laughter-driven man in Hackettstown it was always nice stop and chat with him in passing or at the gym. Many great “Laker” memories and good childhood times. All my blessings to the family. Rest in eternal peace Declan.
