Church honors former South Amboy police chief

SOUTH AMBOY – The First Presbyterian Church of South Amboy Missions Committee held a pot luck supper to honor former South Amboy Chief of Police Leroy Kurtz on July 8.

Kurtz has been a member of the church for more than 85 years.

The surprise party also celebrated his 91st birthday.

The Missions Committee made a $3,000 donation to the PBA in honor of Leroy Kurtz.

“We were humbly honored to give back to our men and women in blue. We wanted to express the joy we had and honor our wonderful Chief Leroy Kurtz. The gift we made in Mr. Kurtz’s name was just a small token but filled with much love,” Elder Mary Porcello said.
