When A Good Man Dies

When a good man dies
The earth nods, heaves a sigh
And goes right back to work.

You can’t trick fate
But you can mold it with passion,
Bend it by ambition
And turn it toward a better world.

It has come to our attention that Chuck Sardo, the Borough Manager of Trappe passed away on January 21, 2008. It is our understanding that Mr. Sardo passed away from a heart attack in front of his home, in his car as he was leaving for work. He was 62 years old and he was too young to die.

Chuck had a grin as big as his heart. He took pride in his family and his work. It is such a shame that the Times Herald and their very vindictive Editor, Stan Huskey, saw fit to print very damaging testimony from a civil suit brought against Mr. Sardo and Worcester Township. Then in a further vindictive manner the Times Herald printed additional slanderous spin regarding the very clearing of Mr. Sardo's name and misrepresented the facts of the settlement. And then they refused to print a letter from Worscester Township opposing the lies that the Times Herald had printed about the lawsuit and attempted to set the record straight but under the leadership of the Times Herald Editor, Stan Huskey, the paper refused to print to print that letter. Another voice silenced by this corrupt newspaper.

Mr. Sardo was a great man and will be hard to replace in Trappe. He made the world of government a better place. Rest in peace Chuck as many people will miss you.
