To the Nevers Family
I first met Phil when Heather started working at the UCONN Co-op. Phil was one of the cool guys, a man you could relax around and not worry about what you said or how you said it.
When I was first elected to the Planning and Zoning Commission, Phil was the go to guy for accurate information about how things worked. ~When applicants presented to the commission, Phil was direct, to the point, and always focused on the human side of the application. His experience was appreciated and respected. He could be depended upon to provide insightful observations and was a valued contributor during Public Hearings and regular meetings. ~
Phil earned this Public Service Award through 15 years on the Town Of Willington Planning And Zoning Commission.
Phil Nevers, please accept this award from the Planning and Zoning commission for your dedicated service. In our heart’s agenda, you will always be “Present”.
