Sheriff Mastronardy issued the following statement regarding the loss of Joseph Klimakowski, lifetime member of Manchester EMS. OCSN extends its deepest condolences to Joseph’s family as well as his EMS family.

On behalf of Sheriff Michael Mastronardy and the entire staff at the Ocean County Sheriff 911 we send our thoughts and prayers to the family of Joseph Klimakowsi. Joe was a life member of Manchester EMS for over thirty years and gave back to so many over the years. Whenever there was a call for help, Joe and his volunteers were always there. We are fortunate to have Joe’s son, Brian Klimakowsi as our Undersheriff. Like his father Brian followed in his footsteps in making a difference in the lives of many. God bless the entire family!
