Peter G. Barber, Guilderland Town Supervisor, Welcomes You to GuilderlandRec.com
We’d like to congratulate our hard-working Director, CJ Gallup, on his well-deserved retirement from The Town of Guilderland Parks and Recreation Department. CJ has anchored the department for 32 years and his dedication and countless hours spent improving our parks system has left a legacy that will be enjoyed for years to come. CJ was more than just a great boss, he was a great friend and confidant to those who worked with him! While we’re sad to see him go, we know his family (and dogs!) will enjoy spending more time with their amazing husband and father. He might even get to take a vacation that lasts longer than a day or two! Thanks for everything, CJ – we’ll miss you!!
