The world would be such a better place had we had more Michael Marino’s around. Thank You Michael for your un-endless representation at the Belmar Council meetings, you represented all of the public of Belmar each year going thru every line item of the town budget. In my eyes, and the eyes of many, you were always the Mayor of Belmar. Your dedication to the political process and service to our country and support of Veterans rights will not be forgotten, nor will all the front porch political strategy meetings. God Bless You Michael. To your family my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
