Somber Mood at Schuylkill County Courthouse
A source tells us the mood was somber and emotional at Schuylkill County Courthouse Wednesday as Commissioners George Halcovage and Gary Hess tried to carry on with a regularly scheduled meeting.
We’re told each offered additional sentiments to what they’ve already expressed publicly on the passing of their colleague. Each got emotional discussing their connection with Staudenmeier over the years.
The emotions weren’t just limited to his fellow Commissioners, either. Staudenmeier’s death is being felt around the Courthouse, where he’s worked as Commissioner since 2002.
The Shenandoah Sentinel notes how the County’s website has been updated to reflect Staudenmeier’s passing:
