DELPHOS — Elected officials are in shock today in the wake of Councilman Dick Feathers’ passing Wednesday. Those who knew him best say he was a low-key and easy-going man who loved his family and was a valuable servant of city government and a local religious group.
“He was great to work with; I was on council with him for four years and worked with him in my four years as mayor. He came in in January 2004 and was always great to work with. He was always willing to step up and try to get things done. He cared about what’s good for the city and he will really be missed,” Mayor Michael Gallmeier said.
