Timothy Day Slisky

September 19, 1960 - February 12, 2020

Timothy “Tim” Day Slisky, 59 of Marlboro passed away Wednesday, February 12th surrounded by his family.

Timothy was born in New Brunswick and raised in Highland Park where he attended and graduated Highland Park High School. Shortly after high school, Tim enlisted in the Navy where he would go on to serve honorably for 10 years. While in the military, he was able to see countries all over the world, such as France, Italy, parts of Africa and parts of the Middle East.

After his time in the military, Tim became very active in various Navy organizations even serving as the former National President of the Destroyer Escort Sailor Association. Tim was a diehard Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers fan and would enjoy watching the games with his brother. Tim was also a season ticket holder for the Pirates, and he and his brother would cherish their trips to Pittsburg to watch games together. In addition to sports, Tim loved acting and singing; he performed at many plays and theaters in the area. He even had the honor of singing the National Anthem at PNC Park before the start of a Pirates game in front of 35,000 fans. Tim had a particular love for Karaoke. He was a fun, loving individual who would do anything for anyone.

During his struggles with his health, Tim’s faith in the Lord increased by leaps and bounds. Prior to his death, he was studying to be a Chaplin.

Tim is predeceased by his father John Slisky, who passed in 1977.

Tim is survived by his mother Vera Santucci of Marlboro, his son, Timothy M. Slisky and his girlfriend Amanda Torisiello of New Brunswick, his brother John and his wife Kate Slisky, and his sister CE Pino of Pittsburg, PA.

A memorial service will be announced at a later date.

Jane and I didn't know Tim too many years but we will never forget what a wonderful man he was. Tim and I served on the DESA National Executive Board together. I was so happy to see him elected as Skipper. His heart was in the organization. Tim loved people and you couldn't help but love him. We will miss him dearly. We sincerely wish all the best to Tim's mom and his family. We definitely know he is with our Lord. May our Lord comfort you. Love, Jane and Roger Garner

I only know Tim from attending Blue Claw games for the last 7 or 8 years and a Destroyer Escort Sailors Assn. luncheon. He was very memorable because of his patriotism and his love of life. He was funny and could always lift your spirits. I'll miss him and will never forget him. May God bless him.
