Spring 2008

William (Bill) Dewey Harrell, Jr. Retires!


Copy of email Bill sent to colleagues his last day on the job:

From: Harrell, William D.
Sent: Fri 4/25/2008 9:02 AM
To: Court Service Units; Regional Operations Managers; Central Office
Subject: Adios!

I once hoped to have something profound and memorable to say on my last day at work, but it comes down to something very simple:  I have been one lucky guy these past 33 1/2 years to have looked forward to going to work most mornings, have rewarding professional and social relationships with so many great people, and now be able to grab the brass ring of retirement.  This is a fantastic Department because of all of you doing excellent work in a very important (even if underappreciated) job.  Keep it up!!

Thanks for the memories, and I wish all of you the best of health, happiness and success.

Bill Harrell, Director (Ret.)
5th District Court Service Unit - Suffolk
