First Selectman, Bill Gerber addressing the crowd at this year's 2025 OBOT Author talk.
Fairfield Public Library extends its sincere sympathy to the family of the late William Gerber, First Selectman, and to the entire Town of Fairfield on his passing.
Said Scott Jarzombek, Town Librarian, “Bill was a strong champion of the Library even before he became First Selectman, but in that position, he ‘walked the walk’ and contributed to the Library on many levels.
He was also a great human being who truly cared about the town of Fairfield I will miss his leadership, his humor, and his kindness.”
Andrew Minea, Chairman of the Library Board of Trustees, added,
“Bill’s advocacy helped strengthen the Library as a vital resource
for all residents and reflected his deep commitment to our community.
We are so grateful for his partnership over the years, and join his family and the Town of Fairfield in mourning his loss.”
Bill will be sorely missed in his roles as First Selectman and friend.
