Dear Post 136 and SAL Squadron 136 Members.

Sadly, I report the passing of Past Commander and dear friend Fred Hesse. For the past five years, Past Commander Hess was residing in several assisted living facilities, most recently in Strongsville, Ohio. Fred served as Post Commander during the final phase of the reconstruction of our Post home after it was totally destroyed by a fire. His upbeat personality and friendliness will long be remembered. He was part of the team, led by Joe Botta, Tony Bua, Fran Carrasco, and Adjutant Martorano, who worked the monthly breakfasts sponsored by Rochelle Park Post 170 that benefited our construction fund. Fred was predeceased by his wife Diane, daughter Crystal, and brother Bernard, who was also a Post 136 member His son, Bernie, reported his passing to the post. No address for condolence cards is currently available.

Adjutant Martorano
