Rumney Marsh Burial Ground Committee Members recognized by Revere City Council

Special to The Advocate

  December 9th was a big night for two core members of the Rumney Marsh Burial Ground Restoration Committee! Bill Reedy and Tom Sullivan have been volunteering at the burial ground for a long time – pulling weeds, cleaning up downed branches, and making sure the place looks presentable for tours and events.

They’re not out looking for recognition but recognition came looking for them as they received Certificates of Appreciation from the Revere City Council. Councilor Ira Novoselsky, himself a founding member of the RMBGRC, presented the certificates, and a number of other councilors spoke about the years of volunteer work Bill and Tom have put in, not just at the burial ground but also at the Revere History Museum and the Legion.

The RMBGRC offers their deepest appreciation and congratulations to Bill Reedy and Tom Sullivan!!

We also want to offer the same to Leonard Bonasoro and Tony Capoccia, who were to be honored last night but could not attend the ceremony.
