Timothy James Tocci

Timothy James Tocci, 63, passed away on Tuesday, December 21, 2021 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Tim, son of the late Gerald and Maureen (Meagher) Tocci of Mount Laurel, New Jersey was born in Natick, Massachusetts on July 26, 1958. He is survived by his sister Christine and her husband Christopher Trapp of Marvin, North Carolina, his brother Pete Tocci and his wife Mary of Carmel, Indiana, and his brother Craig Tocci and his wife Colleen of Shamong, New Jersey, in addition to nine nieces and nephews.

After graduating from Lenape High School in Medford, New Jersey in 1976, Tim enlisted in the United States Army. Following his years of service, Tim enjoyed living in Massachusetts, fishing with his cousins and following his favorite hockey team the Boston Bruins, collecting his favorite player Bobby Orr memorabilia, and cheering on the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots teams.

Tim moved back to New Jersey in the late 1980’s and was so excited to land a job with the Philadelphia Flyers. Tim later purchased a home in Waretown, New Jersey and was happy to have a house by the bay and purchased a boat. Tim enjoyed spending time with his family, joining them for Sunday dinners and became Godfather to his niece Rachel in 2000. A few years later he was thrilled to get a black lab (Luke).

Tim eventually moved to Charlotte, North Carolina and was fortunate to spend time with his sister Christine and her husband, Christopher and their four children. He enjoyed helping with yard work and projects around their home in Charlotte and going to Lake Wateree with them. Tim was happy to be able to reconnect with all of his siblings and their families this past spring in Charleston, South Carolina.

A private family service will take place at…

Video: South Jersey Indian Representative speaks about Burlington Island

South Jersey Indian Representative Harvey Blue Wolf speaks about Burlington Island on Monday, July 13, 2020.

Adam Monacelli, Cherry Hill Courier-Post

My daughter from a young age always wondered about the island on the far side of the Delaware River during family visits to Bristol. She’s like me: curious and up for adventure in the outdoors.

The wooded isle looked miles long, heavily forested and uninhabited from our vantage point in the borough’s waterfront park. Known as “Matinicunk” (Isle of Pines) in the Lenni Lenape Indian language, it’s all these things and isolated by two forks of the river between Bristol and Burlington City, New Jersey.

The mystery of what today is called Burlington Island lingered until Genevieve graduated college. On a visit home, she challenged me. “Let’s paddle over to the island, Dad!” Sure! So off we went, in her blue canoe. 

We crossed from Bristol, paddling against the outgoing tide while steering clear of pleasure craft zipping by in the 40-foot-deep shipping channel. We landed on a pristine beach mid-island, then portaged the canoe up a high embankment draped in underbrush and more than a few spider webs. To our surprise,…
