On Sunday, May 2, we lost our dear friend and retired fire chief, Richard Latham, after a long illness.
Over 35 years ago, when our family first moved to Noank, we became involved with both the Noank Baptist Church and the Noank Volunteer Fire Department. At that time, we came to know both Richard and his wife Joan Latham, who were both very active leaders in this local community.
Richard was raised in Noank, graduated from Fitch High, then worked in production and pipe-fitting at Dow Chemical from 1952 until his retirement.
