NEW MILFORD, New Jersey (WABC) — Authorities are investigating a fatal hit and run that killed an elderly man in New Jersey early Thursday.
It happened in the area of Henley Avenue and Cherry Street in New Milford.
The victim was identified as 83-year-old Andres Villaluna, a recently retired employee at the main Post Office in Manhattan.
His son, Andres Villaluna, Jr., described his father as a hard working and generous man who spent 33 years at his job and who just retired last year.
He said his father worked six days a week and never took a day off, not even a sick day or a vacation. He would have turned 84 in November, and his son said he will be buried in his USPS uniform.

Very sad and unfair to say the least. A dedicated employee that is a credit to the profession. I sincerely hope the killer is brought to justice. Rest in peace Andres.
