To the Editor:

As citizens of Ocean County, my wife and I, over a period of years, attended each and every freeholders meeting. I think that gives us a perspective most people in Ocean County do not have. We feel this is a letter that must be written.

For 39 years, 14,235 days, there was a man who sat on the freeholders boardwho truly cared about the citizens of Ocean County. I guess you could call him a politician. We won’t. We will call him a man with a giant heart, a man who governed with that giant heart.
