Kevin Perrone is need of kidney transplants
The Lanoka Harbor Fire Department will be holding a benefit in honor of Kevin Perrone, an active member and longtime resident of Lacey Township who is in need of kidney transplants, on Saturday, April 20. “His kidney’s are gone. Both of them are shot. We’re trying to help him out,” said Mike Nugent, president of the Lanoka Harbor Fire Department.
