From the desk of Mayor Paul Ehrbar: WP loses strong force in community

The Island Now

Last week longtime resident of Williston Park, Nicholas “Bud” Haller passed  away. 

Bud was actively involved in various community groups throughout his life while living in Williston Park.  As previously reported, Bud was very involved with St Aidan’s serving as an usher, member of the Holy Name Society and CYO football coach. He was a life member of the Knights of Columbus Corpus Christi Council, honorary member of American Legion Williston Post #144, library trustee of Williston Park, past president of the Williston Park Rotary and past vice president of the Chamber of Commerce and member of the Independent Insurance Agents Association.  

He served the residents as a former trustee and deputy mayor. He will be remembered for his dedication to our village. Condolences to his family from both the village board and my family.

A reminder to our seniors that the Annual Senior Valentine Social will be held at the American Legion Hall, Willis Ave., on Feb. 16 from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. This is a great, traditional affair that  has been enjoyed by many over the years. Seniors, one and all, make arrangements with your friends and neighbors to come on down and enjoy good music by our own Steve Griffin of RPM Deejays. 

A special thanks, in advance, to both the American Legion Post 144 for their use of the hall, and King Kullen Supermarkets for their continued support of the great event. 

I’m passing along emergency contact information that all resident should keep handy in case of emergency events. Please post or file in a convenient obvious location, in your home in case of a need to contact the listed agencies.
