Christopher “Mickey” McHenry was a man who crafted a life as sturdy, rich, and deeply rooted as the South Jersey soil he walked on. Born in Camden on September 10, 1970, Mickey lived with an open door, a warm heart, and a hand always ready to help whoever needed it. He was a gifted hardscaper, craftsman, and woodworker—a true creative force who could literally make something out of nothing. Whether forging custom handmade filet knives for loved ones with skill worthy of Forged in Fire, or shaping beauty out of raw wood, Mickey poured his strength, patience, and remarkable work ethic into everything he touched.
Out in nature was where Mickey’s spirit shone brightest. From canoeing and exploring the wild beauty of the Pine Barrens as a boy alongside his brothers, Greg and Dan, to navigating the Mullica River and open ocean as an adult, the outdoors was his sanctuary. An avid angler, nothing matched his thrill for the strike and the exhilaration of “fish-on tug” especially when hunting striper—his beaming smile with a fresh catch saying more than words ever could. Mickey was a passionate history buff, particularly fascinated by World War II and American history, an animal lover of all kinds, and a man who looked equally handsome whether dressed to the nines in a suit or relaxing in swim shorts.

Mary Elizabeth Chandler (nee McGrory) passed away peacefully on July 22, 2026, at the age of 89.
Mary was born in Darby, Pennsylvania, on September 6, 1936, to the late Francis A. and Genevieve E. (nee Malloy) McGrory. The family crossed the bridge and became “the Jersey McGrorys,” and Mary grew up in Audubon with her big brother Frank, “Irish twin” Patsy and little sister Kathleen, as well as Aunts Ann and Marie. She attended St. Rose of Lima grammar school in Haddon Heights and later Camden Catholic High School.
During high school Mary met the love of her life, Roy Chandler, and they were married in 1957. They made their home in Pennsauken, N.J., where they welcomed their son, Michael, in 1964.
Over the years Mary worked at Bell Telephone as a phone switch operator, in the women’s clothing department at Strawbridge & Clothier in Cherry Hill, NJ, and the gift shop at Virtua Hospital in Marlton, NJ. Her final home was Spring Hills in Cherry Hill.
Mary was an honest, caring and strong woman with a sharp wit who enjoyed bird watching, caring for plants and going for scenic drives in Roy’s convertible. Her happiest moments were those spent with family, especially weeks at the Jersey shore or trips to Newport, Rhode Island.
TRASH BLOCKS SIDEWALK—Why would those responsible for blocking the sidewalk with trash think that this was acceptable? A week ago, on Monday, Sweetie and I were walking on South Broadway towards Brooklawn. We tried to get past the blockade of trash in the photo, but it was impossible. We were left with no other choice but to risk our lives and walk onto nearby Broadway. Fortunately, traffic was light. One has to wonder about the people who piled the trash on the sidewalk that way. Surely they had to see that they were blocking the pathway for pedestrians. Unfortunately, as we travel through our City we have come upon more incidents of people who have no consideration for their neighbors. Their grass needs to be cut, their trash cans are placed in their front yard, and derelict cars with no license plates or registration stickers are parked on their property.

GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ–Following a heavy summer rainstorm, youngsters played in the contaminated water that overflowed from the sewers, flooding Market Street and nearby Broadway. Residents in that neighborhood told Cleary’s Notebook News that they saw feces floating on top of the water. The exact date of the photo is not known.
RAW SEWERAGE BACKS UP INTO HOMES IN CAMDEN AND GLOUCESTER CITIES-The Courier Post reported recently that it would cost over $400 million to fix the flooding in Camden City and Gloucester City. In the meantime, raw sewage will continue to back up into homes and flows down city streets. The untreated wastewater spills into watersheds and seeps into popular recreation spots like Cooper River, which is regularly used by rowing teams but is too dirty to swim in. In Gloucester City the raw sewerage can be seen flowing into the Delaware River even on sunny days.
A heavy rainstorm on July 6, 2026, dumped almost four inches of rain in an hour and caused Camden County’s sewer system to back up, causing floods and over 150 calls for emergency help, officials said.
Camden County says it now has a plan to fix the longstanding issue, but it’s going to take more than a decade to complete and a huge sum of money to pull off. The Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority (CCMUA), a government agency located in South Camden, is responsible for wastewater treatment and regional sewage management. Since the 1970s, Camden County residents have paid that agency millions of dollars to fix the sewerage problem and flooding. When it was first proposed, the CCMUA was going to build its wastewater treatment plant in Gloucester City, where the Holt Marine Terminal is today. READ MORE
