“It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of former Cherry Hill Mayor Bernie Platt,” current Mayor David Fleisher announced of Platt’s death in March.

“Bernie has been a pillar of our community for the last half century and served the town that he loved, as mayor, from 1979 to 1980 and again from 2002 to 2012. I had the honor and privilege of working alongside Mayor Platt as council president. As a successful business owner, community leader and elected official, he has left an indelible mark on Cherry Hill and our community.
