Mayor Villaraigosa’s Official Statement
January 16th, 2008 | admin () | |The Mayor’s office issued the following statement that nicely summarizes Ron’s contributions to Los Angeles.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa:
On behalf of the entire City, I want to thank Ron Deaton for dedicating a brilliant 42-year career to Los Angeles.
From his first day on the job at the age of 22, this is a man who literally did it all for Angelenos. He kept the lights on through fires and blackouts. He balanced the books. He helped build parks, police stations and libraries. He kept us united as one city.
More than that, Ron always embodied the idea that public service is the highest calling.
We wish Ron and his family the greatest happiness as they begin an exciting new phase in their lives.
