“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.
“On behalf of the residents of Cherry Hill and Township Council, I extend our deepest sympathies to the Platt family and express gratitude for his years of service.”
