Memorial Bench Created In Memory of DUSD Employee

During Tuesday evening's board meeting, the board of trustees officially dedicated the Tom Fiori Memorial Bench in his memory.

Fiori was a grounds worker in the district for 34 years. He died suddenly two years ago. To honor his work and dedication to the district, district staff raised funds to purchase a bench in his memory.

"Tom was a tireless worker on behalf of the District," said Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Beverly Heironimus.

Heironimus added that Fiori was quick to volunteer and was always there for everyone.

"He was a gift to all of us and we miss Tom dearly," she said.

Fiori's wife Christine and his daughter Mary were both in attendance for the presentation.

The bench has been permanently installed in front of the district board room.
