Salvatore Moni, age 72, passed away peacefully on January 9, 2026, in Manahawkin, NJ. Born on December 11, 1953, in Jersey City, NJ, Salvatore spent his life living in Edison, NJ but has lived in Barnegat for the last 6 years. A devout American Patriot, Salvatore took much pride in his Italian American heritage. Most recently working as a foreman for NJ Transit, Salvatore also worked for Lockheed Martin as a defense contractor, and as a flight safety officer for Flight Safety International, training student pilots through flight simulators. He was also an avid fan of Chevrolet cars, Lionel trains, and the Cleveland Browns.

Salvatore was kind and funny, a self-proclaimed character, who loved telling stories, entertaining his family and friends.  His all-time favorite hobby was working on his antique cars, especially his beloved '55 Chevy. During retirement, Sal found joy working on his '55 Chevy with his longtime friend Al, playing pool with his good friend Billy at the neighborhood clubhouse, walking with his beloved dog, Giana, and making memories with his family and friends.

Salvatore is predeceased by his father, Rudolph Moni Sr.

Surviving Salvatore is his beloved wife Marie Moni; his mother, Dorothy Moni; his daughters along with their spouses, Laura and Peter Warren, and Sara and Jose Catedra; his step-sons, Savino Scorese and his wife Paula, and Pasquale Scorese along with his girlfriend Lauren; his beloved grandchildren, Emma, Ava, Grace, Anthony, Vincent, Victoria, and Gabby; and his brother, Rudolph Moni Jr
