Regional Medical Center in Manchester has received a $2 million estate gift from the late Bob Holtz.
A lifelong Delaware County resident, farmer, U.S. Army veteran, and local businessman, Bob was also a long-time supporter of RMC. With previous gifts of over $1.5 million to RMC, contributing to the Bob Holtz Trauma Room, Bob Holtz Wellness Center, River Ridge Pavilion, and Veterans Garden, Bob has left a legacy with the local non-profit healthcare system and made a difference in countless lives in our community.
“Bob was a quiet man who lived simply and gave big to his local community. We enjoyed working with and getting to know Bob over the years,” shared Danette Kramer, Chief Executive Officer. “On behalf of the community we serve and staff at Regional Medical Center, we thank Bob for being the person he was and making a difference in the lives of others. His generosity and forward thinking will not be forgotten.”
Allendale woman raising money to put Black Lives Matter bricks at site of controversial statue
A lack of representation for people of color is inspiring Jessica Miller to bring that representation to the Veterans Garden of Honor in Allendale Township. The garden is the site of a controversial Civil War statue, which features a Confederate soldier and slave child. Over the past several months there have been calls for its removal, its future is still undecided.

ALLENDALE TWP., Mich. â A lack of representation for people of color is inspiring Jessica Miller to bring that representation to the Veterans Garden of Honor in Allendale Township.
MASHPEE Richard DeSorgher has been working tirelessly for the past two years on a veterans war memorial, researching every Mashpee veteran who served in war from the American Revolution to Vietnam.
But even after hundreds of hours spent poring over and verifying a list of names of the town s veterans, the 68-year-old Mashpee resident, realizing the project s significance, still isn t satisfied that his work is complete.
“I’ve checked it a thousand times,” DeSorgher said. “I’m just so nervous about it.”
The memorial, which will stand in the community park across from town hall, is expected to be finished around Memorial Day, complete with the names of 254 Mashpee veterans.
