Morris County honors Deputy Surrogate Chris Longo for 30 years of service
Summary
At a November 2025 work session, the Morris County Board of Commissioners presented a plaque to Deputy County Surrogate Chris Longo in recognition of roughly 30 years of service and his role modernizing the surrogate’s office.
The Morris County Board of Commissioners paused its November 2025 work session to present a plaque to Deputy County Surrogate Chris Longo in recognition of about 30 years of service with the county.
Longo, who the chair said began as deputy surrogate in 1995, told commissioners he was "very happy to be part of the team" and thanked the board for its support. Commissioner Heather Darling (surrogate) described Longo as "the absolute best" who "gets things done," saying the office would be "lost without" his work.
The chair provided background on Longo’s career, noting he graduated from Rutgers in 1987 and received a law degree from New York Law School in 1993; he previously worked in private practice with Mascaleres and Associates in Morristown and later joined the surrogate’s office. Longo thanked his colleagues and singled out staff who helped modernize office operations.
Commissioners and colleagues offered personal anecdotes about working with Longo and the board gathered for photographs. The recognition was presented before the meeting proceeded to regular county business.
What’s next: The ceremony was ceremonial only; no personnel actions or formal votes related to the recognition were recorded during the work session.
