JOHN M. O'BRIEN, 80, of OCEAN GROVE and New York City, passed away on Monday, July 6, 2009 after falling victim to Alzheimers Disease eight years ago. A long glorious career as the Chief of Communications officer on the luxury liner SS Constitution enabled John to travel the world where he met his life long love, Connie, in her home town of Naples, Italy. Left behind to carry him in their hearts are his three daughters, Rose Anne, Arlene and Lorraine and her husband, Roy, his son Jeffrey, two grandchildren, Evan and Emma, and many loving friends and extended family.
