We thank Walter Heller for his service as Public Works Director and we
hope that Joseph Lynch enjoys considerable success in that position.
Charles Winchester passed away in 2009. I had the privilege to work with
Charlie during his services as Town Moderator and as Chairman of the School
Building Committee. He was an admirable combination of class, intelligence,
quiet confidence, subtle wit, and grace, particularly under pressure. His contributions
to the Town of Milton are incalculable and he is sorely missed. We
express our sympathy and gratitude to his family. REQUISCAT IN PACE.
My firm, Murphy, Hesse, Toomey & Lehane, LLP, is a law firm of thirty
(30) lawyers. Partner David DeLuca, associates Karis North, Bryan LeBlanc,
Brandon Moss, Brian Fox and Lauren Galvin, and paralegals Paula Rivera and
Bryanne Tartamella also worked on Town Counsel matters in 2009. We thank
the Board of Selectmen, Kevin Mearn, Annemarie Fagan, Paula Rizzi, Patricia
Reynolds and all Town employees, boards, commissions and committees for
the opportunity to work with you throughout the year.
Respectfully submitted,
John P. Flynn
