He was the Town Hall Jailor and Janitor from January 1981 to November 29, 1987, during which time he assisted in many municipally sponsored activities including the annual Bicycle Rodeo and the Community Days Celebration. His community spirit and involvement serve to remind us of the value of kind deeds to a municipality’s existence.
