  • First Responder Friday - Adam Boss - 06 16 2023

    CONGRATULATIONS! to Adam Boss, City of Norwalk General Services, this week's K96 Marblehead Soap Company First Responder of the

    Week!  Adam was nominated by Wade and he had this to say: “Adam is the most pleasant guy you could possibly work with! He is ALWAYS happy, does
    a GREAT JOB, and is very knowledgeable. Most do not think of Adam as a first responder, but Adam is the guy who goes to water main breaks at all hours of
    the day in the city of Norwalk. He is one of those guys that makes sure when you get up in the morning and head for the bathroom, when you turn on the water faucet, WATER COMES OUT! He also is the lead operator of the City's vac truck, so he also makes sure when you flush that toilet, the sewer lines are clean and it goes down and away. Adam deserves more credit than even I can give him. Norwalk does not recognize what a valuable asset they have in him. Please help me in showing him how much he is appreciated by his fellow workers. Thanks!”
