To the Editor:

This past week, longtime residents of LBI mourned the death of George Thomas Cranmer Oakley (GTO). Tom, as he was known to all, touched our lives in many ways over the years. He devoted his life to public service on this Island in support of numerous organizations.

Tom served Ship Bottom in a number of capacities, ranging from sitting on the borough council as well as its zoning and planning board.
