Born in Camden and raised in Westville, Ray met and married the love of his life, Patricia Athey and together they enjoyed 53 years of marriage and raised four children. Ray was a boilermaker for Local 801, Camden for many years until his retirement in 1987.

Away from his work, Ray enjoyed the company of his family especially his children and grandchildren. Rooting on his beloved Phillies and Eagles; long rides with his wife in the country and walks on beautiful sunny days were activities that Ray enjoyed as well. Ray leaves a legacy of a sweet, kind hearted man who would do anything to help someone who was less fortunate. He will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved him.

Frances R. Sherrer, of Gloucester City, St. Marys Parish Trustee for 18 Years

Frances was a lifelong faithful and devoted parishioner of St. Mary’s R.C. Church. She served as a parish trustee for 18 years.

 When I stood by my husband at his swearing-in ceremony three years ago, I was so proud. I had so much faith in his promise to do everything he could for this city. He was a man of integrity and someone whose honesty and values would be an asset as a city councilman. His obligations took him away from his family so much of the time but again, we knew he was determined to do his best. Sadly, he eventually lost sight of the qualities that got him where he wanted to be and now our lives are changed because of it. 

 On November 2^nd, I will not be at my husband’s side nor will I support him for this election. I will, however, exercise my right to vote – something that I have always done with pride and something I feel is necessary for this election.

Camden County was the first County in the State of NJ and in the nation to provide individual records management needs assessment reports for 34 municipalities and a county wide records management shared services report. .

\”Receiving support from others who have been through what you are going through can be very powerful and often one of the most effective ways to stay hopeful, inspired and sane. You will find out that you are not alone in this fight against addiction. You can learn from other parents. And even though your child may be different than theirs, you’ll discover there are many similarities.\” 

 _{– Lorraine McNeill-Popper, Mom and Parent Advisory Board Member}

Nine million young people between the ages of 12 and 25 need treatment for substance abuse or addiction. 

Of those nine million, two million are 12 – 17. 

Of the two million, ninety percent are not getting the help they need.*

We wanted to share this much-needed support network with you first – the parents, caregivers and partners who have embraced our cause and have joined our online community. 

 You are not alone.

Also, an important reminder given what is still appearing in some press reports: None of the proposals put forth by federal officials or New Jersey’s congressional delegation – despite unsupported statements to the contrary – eliminate, or even remotely limit, New Jersey’s exposure to the potentially billions in cost overruns. Loans or any phase in of the project merely delay the costs to New Jersey and its taxpayers. I repeat – none of the alternatives offered change the fact that New Jersey would be solely on the hook for all ARC tunnel overruns.
