Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-3) issued the following statement today on the passing of former Milford mayor and long-time former city clerk, Alan H. Jepson.
"It is difficult to put into words what Alan Jepson has meant to the Milford community - - he was one-of-a-kind. A rare individual who dedicated a lifetime to public service, Alan was a reflection of all that we hope and expect community leaders to be. He helped to shape the very character of this community and the City of Milford will not be the same without him. His passing marks the end of an era."
"In so many ways, and to so many including myself, Alan was a mentor. I am so proud to have called him my friend. He and his late wife, Betty, a remarkable woman herself, welcomed me to their community with open arms and I will forever be grateful for their many years of friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with his five daughters; Linda, Susan, Margo, Nancy and Paula, as well as his grandchildren and great-grandchildren."
