Nelson C. Joline

Date of Death: December 30, 2020

Nelson C. Joline, 79, of Port Monmouth and formerly of Colts Neck and Little Silver, died at Riverview Medical Center on Wednesday Dec. 30^thafter battling complications from COVID-19.

He was born in Long Branch and raised in Little Silver before graduating from Long Branch High School. Nelson attended Monmouth University and was a member of the Long Branch Police Department where he served for over 32 years, retiring at the rank of Captain. Nelson also served the city as an exempt member of the Independent Engine Company, a Long Branch Fire Department. He was also an active member of the Root Beer and Checker Club, Fair Haven. Prior to the restraints imposed by the Coronavirus, Nelson helped facilitate weekly meetings that brought in speakers and members of the community to their weekly luncheons. He, along with other members, enjoyed their weekly club bike rides on Sandy Hook.

Nelson most fondly remembered his years waterskiing on the Navesink River with his wife and was always ready to spin her around the dancefloor. After having children, you could always find him on the sidelines cheering and being the most supportive Father and then Grandfather. It was the love of his family we remember most and how he could always be seen with the family’s Golden Retrievers at his side. Nelson is missed and loved after being taken far too soon.

He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Patricia, their children Michelle Joline and Brian Joline, and Brian’s wife Jonelle and their two children, Addison and Scarlett.

A private entombment will be held at George Washington Memorial Park, Paramus.

RIP Nelson. It was my pleasure knowing such a nice gentleman.

Pat, Brian and Family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Nelson. May his memory always remain in your hearts. God Bless You.

I am sad to hear of Nelson's passing. I will miss his company on our Root Beer and Checkers Sandy Hook bike rides and our lunch table discussions afterwards. He always had something interesting to contribute. My thought are with his family. Dennis Swijter

Dear Pat, I was so sorry to read about Nelson in this morning's Press. I've been thinking about you and how important family is to you. Nelson was always popping into the office in the afternoon with his aviator sun glasses, usually with the kids in tow. You always were able to integrate family and business so successfully. Words are not of much help, but please accept my most sincere regrets for this unspeakable loss. I am so glad you have children and now grandchildren around you. With affection, Barbara Rumsby

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dear Nelson, thank you for your service to this country, thank you for your patriotism. Thank you for our long conversations about politics. I will miss them. If I knew that the last time we spoke was going to be our last, I would have told you many more things that I wanted to say. It’s too late now. It’s not fair. God Speed and I will see you on the other side. To Patty Brian and Chelle, I am very sorry for your loss.... Sean Barstad
