TOUCHDOWN

STREET IMPROVEMENT:

Kevin Hogarth died on Tuesday, September 5. He was 68, and a longtime resident of Livingston.

Gary Edward Falzo of Livingston, died on Wednesday, September 6, at the age of 69.

Livingston has lost an icon with the passing of Joseph Fiordaliso. The dictionary defines an icon as “a person or thing regarded as… worthy of veneration;” and Mr. Fiordaliso certainly fit that definition. Before becoming a grandpa, he was known affectionately as “Joe Fee-o;” but once his precious grandchildren arrived he was always “Papa Joe.”

G-O L-A-N-C-E-R-S:

The Board of Education held its first meeting of the school year on Tuesday night at Heritage Middle School to discuss new developments within the school system to the public. The Board also passed two new board bylaws which took effect immediately.

The Livingston Township Council passed ordinances, including one amending the town’s code focused on government speech; introduced others, including an ordinance that would adopt a new overlay district to pave the way for a housing complex; and passed several resolutions during its Thursday, September 7, meeting.

Joe Fiordaliso, former Livingston mayor who had been most recently serving as president of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, died suddenly last week at 78. Several in the community spoke in remembrance of Fiordaliso following his passing.
