Robert W. Mantei
Mr. Mantei, 87, of St. Augustine, Fla., formerly of Freehold Township, died Dec. 7, 2008, after several weeks of fighting a major infection. He was a graduate of Bolan Academy, New York, and attended Columbia University, New York, and the Insurance Institute of New York. He retired as the New Jersey state supervisor of O'Hanlon Reports Inc. Mr. Mantei served in the U.S. Army Air Corps as an intelligence officer in Europe, where he received the Purple Heart, and as an aerial gunner and radio operator in the Pacific. He served on the Township Committee in Freehold Township for eight years, which included two terms as mayor. In that time, he also served on many boards and agencies, including the Planning Board. Mr. Mantei had been involved in many other religious and community activities, including the Freehold Regional High School District Board of Education, where he had served as president and vice president.

A memorial service will be held Dec. 13 in Palm Coast, Fla.
My Uncle Bob was very nice to me growing up and gave me great gifts: a camera and a transister radio (aqua colored).are the ones I remember the most. When my parents divorced we no longer talked as he supported his brother, Fred and I didn't agree with him (he and my father never got along otherwise) Since he bragged a lot about himself I found it a surprise that he earned the purple heart during the war. I know he fell out of a bombay door and broke his leg in California. He also married a woman called Virginia and they divorced after only a few years of marriage. He was also in Italy during the war. He liked to act and was in a lot of plays at our church. His mother always called him Robbie
