Millville's Dale R. Devilli was found in the cooker on Parsonage Road in Upper Deerfield around 8 a.m. Monday, Sept. 19, New Jersey State Police said. The incident was not considered suspicious.

OSHA was investigating the incident at Lassonde Pappas. 

Devilli was being remembered in his obituary as an "avid outdoorsman, and handyman.

"Out of his countless hobbies, he perfected bow hunting, fishing, and gardening; the latter would grow a vast variety of fruits and vegetables every summer."

He is survived by his wife of 28 years, Allison, and their two daughters.
