Kevin F. Driscoll, passed away on May 22, 2022 at the age of 82 at home after a brief illness. Of Runnemede, NJ; formerly of Brooklyn, NY.
Beloved husband of the late Eleanor B. Driscoll (nee Buch). Devoted father of Bryan Driscoll (Donna), John Driscoll (Kristin), and Suzanne Driscoll Beckett. Loving grandfather of Kaitlyn Morris (David), Caroline Acitelli (Angelo), Cameron Driscoll, Bryana Driscoll, and Kevin Beckett. Great grandfather of Jack, Addie Grace, Molly Kate, Ellie, and Palmer. Also survived by many nieces, nephews, godchildren, and friends.
Kevin had a deep commitment to his faith and was a devoted member of Holy Child Parish, St. Teresa RC Church for over 56 years. Pre-Covid, he was a daily communicant. Kevin was a lifetime member of the Knights of Columbus Holy Child Council #3532 and a former President of the RYAA. Kevin found joy in helping others throughout his entire life. He coached many teams, financially supported any cause asked of him but he truly enjoyed his time with his friends making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for those less fortunate. His generosity was only exceeded by his humility. His support of causes was done out of the goodness of his heart, not a need for recognition and never with judgement.
There will be a visitation from 5pm to 8pm Wednesday, June 8, 2022 and from 8am to 9am Thursday, June 9, 2022 at GARDNER FUNERAL HOME, RUNNEMEDE.
Memorial Mass 9:30am Thursday at Holy Child Parish, St. Teresa RC Church, Runnemede.

The world has been tremendously diminished. My deepest and sincerest condolences to the entire Driscoll family. Kevin was, by far, the nicest person I ever met. He ALWAYS had time for you and to talk with you about family (also the Cardinals, but as a Red Sox fan that was a truly interesting discussion). I missed him greatly when he retired. It was just not trade show if Kevin wasn't there. My thoughts and prayers for a great human being
my sincere condolences to the entire Driscoll family. I have known Kevin and the Driscoll family for many years and cherish all my memories of Kevin and his late wife Ellie. . Our daughters went all through school together and I am so happy that my daughter Kim, got to spend time with him during his days in the hospital where she works. I loved seeing him at daily Mass ad know how much he loved being part of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich group. Kevin was a true gentleman, loved by all who knew him and will be missed but never forgotten. Rest in Peace my dear Friend.
Kevin was a valued member of the medical sales community for many, many years. He was respected and loved by everyone that knew him. His love for his family and the Church was evident as demonstrated by his words and actions. His sense of humor was infectious and greatly appreciated by everyone. He was a GREAT person and I will miss him. My sincere condolences to his extended family. Rich Molnar Tucson AZ
I had the pleasure of working with Kevin selling his Scanlan instruments. He was my mentor and friend. I learned from the best. He was funny witty and we laughed and sold a lot. A true gentleman and salesman. Mike DeMars Michigan
Mr. Driscoll was my CCD teacher when I was in high school. He was the reason I kept going to CCD. He not only taught religion but also about life. I am so sorry for your loss and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Both of your parents were wonderful human beings. God Bless
Sincerely,
Eleanor Talio DiGiovacchino
Kevin and Ellie will always be a part of the happy memories for me and my Richard. His quick wit and energy were always at the ready. I will miss him. Rest In Peace Kevin.
I am one of hundreds of sales reps who worked with Kevin Driscoll and to a person I speak for all of us that there is no finer person on this earth.
I spoke to him very recently and though his voice was weak we reminisced about our years together and I even got him to speak to me in Chinese. He would do it as we were entering an office to show our instruments.
Also we all know about his children, grandchildren ( PopPop) his wife Eleanor and this is devastating news.
I am so glad to have spoken to him as he said Jerrilynn you made my day. “
Kevin made everyones day.
Bless his soul. We lost a good one.
