âOne thing is, he was always smiling,â King said.
Creed File, The Roanoke Times
Creed died Thursday. He was 74.
He was first elected to the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors in 2001 and served until 2017, when he decided to not seek re-election. He had announced during the fall of 2016 that he had been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimerâs.
During his time on the board, Creed was part of the 4-3 GOP majorities that were crucial in the passage of a handful of key â and contentious â items over the past two decades.
âHe really loved his family and he loved the county,â King, a fellow Republican, said Monday.
