On Tuesday, November 3rd Dennis Township lost one of our own. Albert J. Knoll former Township Committeeman, Mayor and Clerk/Administrator passed away at Cape Regional at age 47.
Al was a hometown boy who loved his community. He was appointed to fill an unexpired term as a Township Committee Member on 03/26/1984. In May of 1985 the Township suffered the loss of our Mayor Frank L. Murphy, Sr. and with his passing, Al at age 23 became the youngest Mayor in the State. Even though Al stepped out of the “political ring” his love of his community was strong and in January of 1988 Al accepted the position of Municipal Clerk and in January of 1992 Clerk/Administrator.
As with everything Al did, he excelled at his position and the Township was made better because of him. Al became ill in December, 2002 and had to retire at the end of August, 2003.
There will be a viewing at Radzieta Funeral Home on Hand Ave., Cape May Court House on Friday, November 6th from 10:00 am to noon with a service starting at noon.
Here at the Township we were grateful for the time we had with him and our thoughts and prayers are with the Knoll family.
