Louis Sanzaro Sr., president of Ocean County Remanufacturing and the first president of the Construction Materials Recycling Association (CMRA), passed away on March 30, 2006, after a lengthy illness. He was 55.

In addition, as the first president, he provided invaluable business advice to make sure we set up the organization properly.”
