It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of Fairfield First Selectman Bill Gerber. He was a kind, engaged and accomplished public servant, having served the Town of Fairfield in a wide range of elected and appointed roles over the past 30 years.

Personally, I found Bill to not only be a good colleague, but even more importantly, a good human.

On behalf of the Town of Westport, I extend my sincere condolences to his wife, Jessica, his family, friends, and the entire Fairfield community. Please know that you are in our thoughts during this time of profound loss.
