Law spotlight on Enforcement 721-5990

by Tom Burkard 513 SOUTH PINE AVENUE MORGAN SECTION I had the good fortune of meeting Bob OF SOUTH AMBOY Hospidor over 20 years ago, when as a novice Sheriff's Officer, was first assigned to Judge Bachman's court, and later Judge Appleby' s, where Hospidor was the Judge's Man, in charge of the courtroom. He was quiet but confident, and really knew his job inside-out. More importantly to me, he was kind and patient, and took me under wing to train me on how to become a good Sheriff's Officer ... In the late '70's, early 80's, he hooked up with my softball teams, and was a good pitcher-second baseman. Bob has been a resident of the Morgan section of Sayreville for over 20 years, and has given me this most interesting interview.
