The Charles River YMCA held a good-bye reception for Bill Londergan, who has been a day porter at the Charles River Center YMCA on Great Plain Ave. for 15 ½ years. In this position, where he worked five days a week, Bill cleaned the windows, swept the floors, and kept the building tidy.
“We have been blessed to have Bill as part of our YMCA family every day for the past 15 years. He is kind and caring and part of our community. We will miss his wonderful smile, for which he is known, as well as his positive attitude and kind and courteous nature. We wish him the best in his retirement and hope he visits regularly!” said Paula Jacobson, executive director of the YMCA.
Bill, who lives in Norwood, is supported by the Charles River Center in Needham — a nonprofit that helped him get his job and looks in on him at his apartment. Bill will enjoy his retirement at the Charles River Center and plans to work in their horticulture program at least two days a week.
