Donald Glembocki, age 88, of Manahawkin, NJ, passed away peacefully on December 21, 2025.
Born on October 6, 1937, in Bayonne, NJ, he was the son of the late Joseph and Stella Glembocki. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 60 years, Rita, his sister, Joan, and his brother, Edward.
Donald graduated from Bayonne High School, where he was a standout basketball player. He went on to proudly serve in the U.S. Army from 1957 until his honorable discharge in 1963. Donald then built a distinguished career as a Tool and Die Maker at General Electric, where his sharp mind led him to file several patents for specialized telephone line repair equipment.
Beyond his professional success, Donald possessed an adventurous spirit and a deep love for the outdoors. An avid golfer, he spent countless sunny afternoons on the greens, sharing laughs and friendly competition with his wife and closest friends. His true sanctuary, however, was the water. He was a passionate fisherman who found immense joy and tranquility casting lines into the Barnegat Bay, tracking the tides, and embracing the quiet beauty of the Jersey Shore.
Donald's greatest joy was his family. He is survived by his devoted children, Paul and Allyson, and his six cherished grandchildren: Arielle, Kailee, Jason, Austin, Brayden, and Clayton.
A memorial gathering will be held on Friday, May 22, 2026 from 11:30am until his blessing service, 1:15pm at Maxwell-Tobie Funeral Home, 573 Mill Creek Road, Manahawkin, NJ 08050.
