Fay, a good neighbor and dear friend. October 29, 1924 – April 12, 2015 Pete Fay, a lifelong resident and devoted son of Westborough, dedicated 30+ years to the research and tracking of residents and former residents who served the Town in various capacities by observing their passing in our Annual Report each year. Having acknowledged so many for so long, we could not let his own passing go unrecognized and without a grateful “Thanks for the memories”. Pete you are greatly missed. The Town would be very grateful to have someone continue with Pete’s commemoration each year.
