Edward C. "Ed" Dobrovolski

Edward C. Dobrovolski, 75, of Atlantic Highlands, passed away on Tuesday, September 19th, with his family by his side.

Born and raised in Woodbridge, NJ, to the late Edward and Anna Dobrovolski, Ed was a graduate of Rutgers University, then earned his Juris Doctor from Seton Hall University. He operated his law firm and practiced law in Woodbridge from 1974 to 2016 and was a long-time parishioner of Holy Cross RC Church in Rumson.

Always with a smile and full of jokes, Ed was a true gentleman. With his practical and logical intellect and skills, there wasn’t anything that he couldn’t fix. He enjoyed working with his model trains and fishing, especially fishing with his family. A Giants fan, as well as a Jets fan, Ed was the grill-master extraordinaire. The joy of his presence is missed by all who were blessed to have known him.

Ed is the beloved husband of 48 years of Carol (nee: Deisler); loving father of son, Bryan (Melissa) Dobrovolski and daughter, Jen Dobrovolski; devoted grandfather of Bryan, Davis, Ansley and Graham; cherished twin brother of Janice (Frank) Frisoli and uncle of Francis (Kathy) Frisoli, Michelle (Ethan) Solomon and Patricia (Kazula) Uesaka. Ed is also survived by his best friend dog, Maddie.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, October 7, 2023 at 11:00am at Holy Cross RC Church, 30 Ward Avenue, Rumson, NJ. Family and friends may begin gathering at the church at 10:00am. Services under the care and direction of John E. Day Funeral Home, Red Bank, NJ.
