7h agoPeople across the state continue mourn the death of Fairfield First Selectman Bill Gerber.
The town of Fairfield has placed memorial books for people to sign at the Old Town Hall, Independence Hall and the Bigelow Senior Center. Saturday there will be memorial books at both the main and branch libraries.
Gerber's wife is planning a public memorial service for her late husband but the date has yet to be announced.
Gov. Ned Lamont expressed his sorrow Thursday.
"He was a good friend, great first selectman. I called him right before he went in for the operation and he said he'd be back fighting for the people of Fairfield by the end of the month," Lamont said. "He was very optimistic and positive. We are going to miss him dearly"
The town clerk said the Board of Selectmen plans on discussing a replacement for Gerber next Wednesday at its board meeting.
She says they have until Aug. 15 to announce the new Democratic first selectman to finish out Gerber's term.
