from Chris Rhodes, Executive Director

No doubt when you have visited Westminster Woods you will have seen or met Tony Fry. Tony’s first day working here at the Woods was March 3, 1993. That was 27 years ago. Tony’s last day working at Westminster Woods is Thursday, March 12, 2020. So if you do the math Tony has worked at the Woods for more than half of his life. That is impressive. His commitment to the Woods over all of these years is simply amazing.

I am sure when he first started working here at the Woods he never anticipated being here this long. He first started working in the kitchen as a cook and then moved onto being a maintenance assistant in the Building and Grounds department. He has been the manager of the Building and Grounds department for the last 19 years.

Tony has put his heart and soul into his work here. He knows this place better than anyone: he knows where every plumbing pipe is, where all of the electrical circuit breakers are, where every septic tank and leach field is located. And he can tell you everything you would ever want to know about our Westminster Woods water system. He knows it all, and his knowledge and expertise (and his laugh) will be missed. But he has a great new job awaiting him working for the City of Santa Rosa, and it is an exciting new chapter in his life.

So we bid a sad, but very fond farewell to Tony Fry. We wish him all the best in his new job.

Thank You, Tony!
