New Jersey Crossing Guard Killed by Car is Fondly Remembered
Tuesday, January 26, 2010

When Joseph Dotterman became a crossing guard in his retirement, the doting, caring man seemed to embody the job.He never let a family member out of the house during nasty weather without telling them to be safe in their travels, and on the job, he told even adults to put on a hat in cold weather. Dotterman, 73, died at Hackensack University Medical Center on Saturday, three days after he was hit by a van while he was on-duty, crossing a man at the intersection of Mehrhof Road at Washington Avenue in Little Ferry.
