Donald (Pop), age 82, peacefully passed away on Thursday, December 13, 2018. Donald, the son of Katherine & Richard Neubert, was born in Teaneck, NJ and lived his teen years between New Jersey and upstate, New York before enlisting in the United States Army in 1953. Pop served honorabley until 1956 and spoke fondly of his time in Panama where he earned a National Defense Service Medal and a Good Conduct Medal. On a whim, out bowling with friends, he met his beloved Mimi (Maria.) They married in 1959 and settled in Ridgefield, NJ to raise their family. In their later years they moved to Florida. He will be best remembered for his quick wit, sense of humor and unique view of the world. He cherished his grandchildren's antics and enjoyed everyone of their baby steps. He best described 57 years of marriage and love to be "holding your hand of your loved one is the true connection."
Don is predeceased by Maria and survived by his five children, Donna Hambos and her husband George, Joseph Neubert and his wife Lucia, Donald Neubert, Jr. and his wife Claire, Susan Neubert and Debbie Pirsos (predeceased by son-in-law Tom Pirsos). Don cherished his sister Kathy; sister-in-laws Angela Rossi and Joanne and her husband Mike Serhat, his 11 beautiful grandchildren, Charlie, Jacob and his wife Jessie, Christopher, Maria, Sammy, Alex, Sofia, Vincent, George, Joseph & Robert and his blue eyed great grandaughter Avery Maria and many nieces and nephews.
God granted Pop the serenity to rest in peace. "The corn has popped...so be it." Cremation is planned and services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity.
