Under his leadership, the beaches were kept pristine, including following the numerous nor’easters and snowstorms that pound the coast, and ensuring roads were passable and safe for residents, travelers and visitors, Armstrong said.

The Board of Commissioners expressed deep appreciation for his 36 years of service to the residents of Longport by proclaiming April 16 as Chris Berenotto Day in Longport.
