Town employee retires after more than a quarter century
The town wished Larry Irish a happy retirement last week after 28 years with the Public Works Department.
Irish began working for Gorham in 1991.
“His experience and talent are unmatched. We will miss his face around the building, but wish him the best in all he plans to do with his free time,” a Dec. 28 posting on the town’s website said.
