PMUA Sets Up Fund for Injured Worker

The Plainfield Municipal Utilities Authority has set up a fund to benefit employee Robert Morris, who was severely injured on Dec. 26 while working downtown.

Morris was pinned between a PMUA truck and a vehicle that struck him on Watchung Avenue. He suffered an amputation of one leg and injuries to the other that will require extensive medical care and rehabilitation. He is still in Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital undergoing a series of surgeries.

Due to an outpouring of sympathy for Morris and his family, the authority has set up a special bank account and is accepting monetary gifts marked for "The Bobby Morris Fund." Donations may be sent to the PMUA, 127 Roosevelt Ave., Plainfield NJ 07060, Attention: Bonnie Mills, Office of the Executive Director.

  1. Wouldn't it be nice if Watson and Ervin donated some of the money they already received to Mr. Morris and his family? We'll see.

  2. Comment from Steve Kilduff:

    For years Bobby has been the regular driver in Zone 9, Netherwood, on Tuesday and Fridays, as well as the Wednesday recyclables. He's always had a smile on his face and has never refused me when I needed small favors. I'm happy to help him out now.
