Los Alamos County Pavement Manager Tom Roach in the Pajarito Cliffs office of Transportation Manager Nancy Talley on his final day of work Thursday. Roach retired after 14 years of service to Los Alamos County. ‘I started here without fanfare and I want to leave here without fanfare,’  Roach told the Los Alamos Daily Post. Public Works Department Director Philo Shelton said that Roach will be greatly missed and that he was completely dedicated to the County – working around the clock during snow removal efforts to ensure that everyone else in the community could travel safely. ‘His depth of knowledge of our pavement initiatives, sidewalk maintenance and everything related to the road system was so vast … he definitely will be missed,’ Shelton said. During his retirement, Roach intends to spend more time with his children and travel. Photo by Carol A. Clark/ladailypost.com
