Monyer was a fixture at area sporting events, including a streak of Hamilton-Steinert football games
that spanned a quarter of a century. Monyer had many championship moments before passing away in
1998 at age 76. In addition to the holiday football games, he also loved soccer and baseball, two
sports in which Hamilton Township has excelled in for a very long time.
Professionally, Skip was the Personnel Director at the N.J. Department of Health and the
Executive Director of the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. He later served a
part-time post as athletic development specialist at Mercer County Community College. Other sports
connections include stints as the National Police Athletic League Boxing Chairman, the National Amateur
Athletic Union Boxing Secretary, and being a member of the Olympic Boxing Committee for the 1976 games
in Montreal. He also was part-owner and president of the Trenton Colonials, an Eastern League
basketball team; and he helped start the first Babe Ruth League in New Jersey.
