    Joe was a wonderful man and a very intelligent stamp collector. I knew him and worked with him in the Outer Banks Stamp Club. Joe would always share a stamp or cover with fellow collectors if he didn’t need it for his prized collection of International Wright Brothers covers. We’ve missed Joe. He leaves a wonderful legacy of his knowledge with all the collectors who were fortunate to know him. Reid Hinson

    On behalf of the members of the Board of Fire Commissioners and the Mount Laurel Fire Department I would like to express our deepest condolences and recognize the past service of Fire Commissioner Joseph Kovacs, Jr. Mr. Kovacs served as fire commissioner from 1987 through 1989. Due to his service, we are a stronger and more professional organization.

    We will pause for a moment of silence and dedicate our next Board Meeting on Monday, January 17th in his memory.

    God bless,

    Christopher Burnett | Fire Chief
    Mount Laurel Fire Department
