Morris, Joseph F., – 82, of Egg Harbor Township, affectionately known as PopPop Joe, passed away at Atlanticare Regional Medical Center on Tuesday, December 11, surrounded by his loving family. He was born June 7, 1936 in Atlantic City, where he lived and attended school. He proudly served in the US Army from 1958 – 1964 then returned home to work at Lenox China for over 30 years before retiring in 2000. He is survived by his children Patricia Waldron (Douglas), Michael (Lisa), Joseph (Dori), Steven, Colleen McGuire (Robert), William (Samara) as well as his grandchildren Samantha, Kayla, Megan, Danielle, Timothy, Steven, Brooke, Lauren, Grace, Jacob, Robert, Nixon, and Thomas.

He is preceded in death by his parents Roy and Margaret Morris, brothers Jack, John, and Walter, as well as sister-in-laws Lynne and Edith. Those who knew him best, knew that he loved planting his garden each spring; working in his woodshop to make special pieces for those he loved; and building model airplanes and train displays all while listening to his old school country music. Going to White House Subs for a favorite treat, just like a shot of Gentleman’s Jack, became a family tradition. But most of all, he absolutely adored his family and the special gatherings around the holidays. PopPop Joe proudly wore his grandchildren on his chest for all the world to see. So many of the small everyday things he

GREEN — Trinca Airport’s past, present and future continue to stir area residents into response or silence as the township’s deadline for the Request for Expressions of Interest or REOI for Trinca approaches on Dec. 14.

Jack and Kathleen Townsend are township residents who believe if Trinca Airport should remain an airport, the costs of maintaining what is mainly a recreationally-used airstrip should not fall on the backs of township taxpayers. They are two of many residents who reportedly disagree with the viewpoints two pilots expressed at a Green Township Committee meeting on Nov. 5 in favor of keeping Trinca a municipal airport. While a number of stakeholders have sided with the Townsends’ insights, they have declined to comment to the New Jersey Herald about the topic.

The township’s REOI was first posted for the 1,924-foot municipally-owned turf strip on the township’s website Oct. 3. The REOI states the township is “looking to either bolster the airport as a destination with amenities and attraction for visitors, or in the alternative, improve the site for another use.”

John Trinca founded the public use airport in the 1940s, selling it to Alex and Fran Davidson in 1986. Residents became divided in the 1990s when Trinca was considered for a light freight aircraft and corporate jet facility. The township purchased the airport around 2003. While the strip now lacks facilities, it has become a site for touchdown practices and

NEOSHO, Mo. — After two years of being closed to complete major interior renovations, the Undercliff Grill Bar along Old Highway 71 has reopened for business.

“It feels awesome to open,” said Brad Ezell, owner. “It’s nice to have this place back for the community to enjoy.”

Ezell purchased the extraordinary Tipton Ford building — which is built into the side of a limestone bluff — after it closed in 2016.

“One of the reasons why I bought it was because grandpa and I used to sit at that table,” Ezell said, pointing at a round table decorated with badges representing the branches of the U.S. military. “A little model airplane that he built years ago hung from the ceiling, which we’re getting ready to put back up.”

Ezell was also attracted by the building’s historical significance, he said. What is now the Undercliff was initially a second location for a 1920s feed and grocery store for the Tipton Ford community.

Ab McConnell sold his store to Otto Heckmaster, Lee Donaldson and Roy Nase in 1923. Heckmaster eventually became sole owner, and the next year he decided to move the store against the bluff across the railroad tracks, naming it “Under Cliff.”

The location eventually was transformed into a restaurant. It changed hands a number of times after 1936, and became popular for a deep-fried chicken recipe when Frank and Bonnie Crabb took over as owners in 1961. The locations went through several owners and even closed for a number of years, until purchased in
