<div>What started out as one unexpected family tragedy turned into TWO just weeks apart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On July 7th, my uncle Martin (Marty) DeNicola passed away...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those of you who knew my uncle, you knew he was a lover of the New York Giants, Van Halen, Ozzy, and Kiss!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You may remember the days of him working in the family business, Owl Cleaners, on Avenue C in Bayonne, and later venturing off to work on the New Jersey Turnpike where he later retired...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He taught me how to drive, and that took patience lol, but we had a lot of fun memories, especially camping!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Or you would find him hanging out in Pat's Tavern; a lot of memories were made there!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My Uncle Marty's passing was such a heartbreaking shock to our whole family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But it didn't stop there....
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our family endured another heartbreaking tragedy....
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On July 31st, my uncle Joseph (Joey) DeNicola also passed away suddenly - just weeks after my Uncle Marty passed away....
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We were already dealing with one death and then sadly another, and my family was devastated and heartbroken.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you knew my Uncle Joey, he also was a huge New York Giants fan and a big fan of Van Halen. I remember when I was younger, hearing my uncle playing the drums to Van Halen in the back studio behind the cleaners... Memories like that you just don't forget.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My Uncle Joey also ran the family business at Owl Cleaners for years. Even when my grandfather passed away, he took it over. He also opened up his own deli a few doors down the block called Joey D's Deli. He also loved to go fishing and crabbing whenever he got the chance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Uncle Joey and Uncle Marty were roommates for many years; they did everything together. They were inseparable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Both of my uncles did not have any savings nor life insurance. The life insurance that my Uncle Marty did have, I will say, cannot be touched as its beneficiary is a minor and can't be touched till he is 18
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So my family is now battling costs for both of their cremations as we cannot have funeral services for either one of them at this time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's been a lot of heartache for my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family is not the one to ask for help, but at this time, we have two deaths within weeks of each other, and it is very sad and overwhelming. <strong>My family is going through a lot of heartache, and I know this would relieve some financial stress.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On behalf of my family...
</div>
<div>Thank you so much!
</div>
<div>Tandy Bauer
</div>
<div>(Marty and Joey's oldest niece...Debbie's daughter)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is the only GoFundMe!
