This summer will mark the seventh that John Munoz’s kin will spend without the beloved teen — while the dilapidated jetties they say killed him will continue to dot Rockaway Beach. The 70-year-old “death” pilings are finally on track to be removed starting in November, but that’s two months after lifeguards hang up their suits for another season — and years too late, according to the grieving family. “I’m deeply saddened it’s taken this long for them to remove [them],” said Yenesnia Rodriguez, Munoz’s sister, to The Post.
