Need help with ID of company that employee who died worked for

John R. Hall

I wonder if anyone knows who deceased worker Jack Buckman was employed by. The reporter said the business is in Blackwood, NJ. Here is the link:

I'd like to do something to help the family. He was the 36-year-old father of two children. Please help me out if you can.

Service Specialists

Witnesses told NBC 10 they heard a loud blast and everyone came running out of the restaurant.

A refrigeration company employee was refilling the air compressor when, for unknown reasons, the unit exploded, police told NBC 10.

The victim -- a 35-year-old man who was married and had children -- was pronounced dead at the scene. He worked for Service Specialist Inc. in Woodbury, N.J.

The manager of the restaurant said that everyone was a little shaken up by the incident. The restaurant is temporarily closed as a precaution.

could have been

could have been a result of charging liquid refrigerant into the system way too fast. there have been instances where that had caused explosions before. i'm just guessing, i have no knowledge of the case being discussed.

Death

The details are sketchy as of right now. One news outlet said that it was a compressor that exploded, another said some type of tank ruptured. I am familiar with that bldg. from many years ago. It is an ice cream restaurant. I can't imagine what an air compressor would be doing in there. There were no pnuematics when I did work there, and I don't believe they actually make ice cream, only retail it. They had reach in refrigerators, freezers and walk in boxes along with air conditioning and gas heat. Maybe a problem when recovering the freon or charging. I will pass on any other details as they become available. Hey guys, be careful out there!!
