My heart goes out to the Crafton-Gadbois family after the tragic loss of Casey Crafton in yesterday’s plane crash. Salem has lost a dedicated father, husband, and community member. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

We are saddened to learn of the passing of former Governor M. Jodi Rell, who was a great champion of civility and bipartisanship. CT has lost a great leader. We send our condolences to Mike Rell, former Mayor of Wethersfield & CCM Board Member, and the rest of the Rell Family.
