Statement from Mayor Kelly Yaede on Passing of Albert DeMartin, Jr.

Our entire community owes a debt of gratitude to Al DeMartin, who contributed to our town in so many ways through public and community service.

Whether you consider his service as Superintendent of our public schools, as a Township Committee member and a former Mayor, as Business Administrator under former Mayor Rafferty, or his service on the Hamilton Township Library Board of Trustees, the Hamilton Township Planning Board, on the Board of Directors for the Hamilton YMCA or the Hamilton Rotary club, giving back to others was certainly a hallmark of Al DeMartin’s life.

Today, on behalf of every Hamiltonian, I want to express our deepest sympathies, our thoughts and our prayers for the DeMartin family during this difficult time.

I hope his family and loved ones can find comfort in the fact that Al’s lifetime of service to others benefited generations of Hamiltonians and positively touched the lives of so many of our citizens.
