Councilman Kelly asked for a moment of personal privilege. I am sad to report retired North Olmsted Police Captain Richard Metzger passed away a week ago Sunday. He is a longtime resident of North Olmsted and spent his career in North Olmsted rising to the rank of Captain. When he retired from the North Olmsted Police Department he went to work at Rocky River Municipal Court as a uniform bailiff, where he was working up until the time he was hospitalized as his heart got weaker. He passed away at the age of 81 and he worked almost until the last day of his life. So he was a busy guy, a good man and a loss to the City of North Olmsted. Thank you. 7
