Danbury is still searching for a new Director of Veteran Affairs.  Longtime Director Patrick Walrdon passed away in October at the age of 81.  Since that time, Mayor Mark Boughton's Chief of Staff has been filling the role.

Boughton says Waldron did such a great job and had so many procedures that he just knew about, it's going to be a big learning curve for the next person coming in. 

The City will work closely with the state and federal VA departments to provide a seamless approach to services offered to veterans.  He wants to work with the next Director to streamline the services provided and make delivery of those services more efficient.

Boughton says the City suffered a major loss with the passing of the 37-year Director.  He said Waldron fought relentlessly to help veterans, serving generations of veterans.  Waldron help generations of veterans, their widows and dependents.
