Described as “a great leader,” the Little Egg Harbor Township administrator and CFO Rodney R. Haines, 57, passed away on Nov. 24, leaving family, friends and coworkers saddened by the sudden loss to the community.

Haines began working at Little Egg Harbor Township in 2018 after serving in several other municipalities, including Waretown and Tabernacle Township. In his seven years with the township, his contributions have been meaningful, the mayor and committee members said.
