Fred Cerbo

During my years as an activist in Hackensack, you could always count on Mayor Fred Cerbo to help with issues regarding the blind, handicapped adults, seniors and tenants. He was a loyal and caring politician. A light has left the firmament of Hackensack.

When I graduated as valedictorian of my class at HHS, then President of the Hackensack Board of Eductation, Fred Cerbo, wrote me a congratulatory letter. He congratulated my mom too. It meant a lot to me that he included her, especially as she was a single mom in a wheelchair at that time. They knew each other only slightly, but, as we later learned he did with everyone, he kindly took a personal interest in us. He sent a congradulatory note when I graduated college. As mayor, he married...

Thank you for being a great grandfather to Sara and Aidan, and grandfather to Melissa. Alice came to greet you into heaven. God Bless you always.

Uncle Fred was a true "Icon" His strong dedication and the many services he performed made him a giant in whatever he chose to do. His passion was to help people all over and his excellence did not go unoticed. I still remember as a little girl, watching him deliver mail, waving to everyone as he went by. So many fond memories that will never be forgotten. You will be sorely missed Uncle Fred, rest easy.
