Erin, Don, Jim and the Overpeck Family,
Received such shocking news about the passing of John, a dear friend and Brother.
Over many years, worked with John both at the SO and Fairfield Township. You could ALWAYS count on John to be there when needed.
So many stories and great times had by many. A man gone before his time and will be sorely missed by all.
Prayers for the Overpeck Family and may my Friend and Brother R.I.P.
