“On behalf of the Lakewood Township First Aid we would like to send our condolences to the Pevovar family on the loss of Eddy 555. Thank you for service to Lakewood Township. It was a pleasure and honor for all of our members who have worked with him. May he Rest In Peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

Jewish and having a funeral on Saturday? Why don’t the askonim get involved and make sure he leaves this world without being mechalel Shabbos?? This is his last opportunity! I don’t get this. Thanks
Rest in Peace – May the family be comforted among the mourners of Zion
