How sad. My deepest regrets to his family. PLEASE cooperate and show respect to the non-jewish community in their time of grief. And don’t forget to send condolences.
By early afternoon traffic is expected to be backed up on Rt 9 as far back as Freehold. Anyone coming from NY to Lkwd for Shabbos should use the GSP.
