Does anyone remember this LDS, located off Rt. 36 in Laurence Harbor, NJ? I believe the owner's first name was AL. Any information is appreciated.

Thanks.

His last name was Catalfumo. Opened in late 69 or early 70 and last time I talked to him he had a operation going in Bonaire. I believe it was something in a hotel or resort called Black Durgon Reef or something like that. I believe he was traveling back and forth and finally let his kids run the NJ operation and he stayed in Bonaire. I was in the neighborhood last summer and the shop was gone. Couldnt have been that long ago that it closed...

Found this later, check out the second one down
