Commissioners honor Dominic Vesper and remember former officials; retirement and condolences cited during meeting
Summary
Camden County commissioners recognized Deputy County Administrator Dominic Vesper on the occasion of his retirement and offered condolences for the deaths of former mayor Joe Walk and former freeholder and mayor Millard Wilkinson Jr.
Commissioners used the meeting to offer public recognition for long-serving county staff and to extend condolences for two recently deceased former officials.
Multiple commissioners spoke in praise of Deputy County Administrator Dominic Vesper, who was noted in the meeting as retiring. Commissioner Nash described Vesper as “an outstanding public servant” and commissioners highlighted his behind-the-scenes work across public works, parks and county services, and his leadership during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and work on the opioid addiction task force.
The board also observed the deaths of Joseph (Joe) Walk, a longtime mayor and commissioner in Mount Ephraim, and Millard Wilkinson Jr., a former Camden County freeholder (the historic title used in New Jersey) and longtime mayor of Berlin Borough. Commissioners extended condolences to both families and held a moment of silence in their honor.
No formal action was required or taken on these items; remarks were ceremonial and entered into the public record.
