Saverio “Sam” M. DeFilippis, 92, of Holmdel, passed away peacefully Saturday July 8th.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Sam and his wife, Diana moved to Holmdel in 2000.  Sam serviced his country honorably in the U.S. Army.  Sam was the owner and operator of Sam’s Trucking, a meat broker.

Sam enjoyed playing Blackjack at Caesars in Atlantic City.  He was a NY Yankees fan and held season tickets to the NY Jets.   Sam was an avid bowler up into his 80’s and would enjoy a round of golf as well.  He always had a Cadillac, that was spotless. Sam traced his roots to Bari, Italy, always remembering his heritage.  Most of all he loved his family, especially being called Uncle Sam.

Surviving is his wife of 66 years, Diana and 17 nieces and nephews.
