DICK SARGENT - TRIBUTE TO LONG TIME COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER
WHEN: Saturday 18 Sept 2021
TIME: 11:00 am – 12:30 (lunch provided)
WHERE: McLaren-Sargent Pavilion (Adjacent to LAP Heming parking lot)
Join the Sargent’s family, community leadership, friends and colleagues, as we honor and pay tribute to Dick Sargent for his over 50 years of community service. He served on the Braddock District Park Advisory Committee, and was the RFCA Parks and Recreation Standing Committee Chair (the liaison with FCPA and LAP). He will be missed but never forgotten, his work to make our community a safe, clean and beautiful environment in which to raise our families is evident every day. All questions: contact@flapaccotink.org.
Dick Sargent was the first "Citizen Guardian" of Lake Accotink Park; years later his activities, with community volunteers, became known as the Friends of Lake Accotink Park.
INTERNMENT OF DICK SARGENT
Our community lost one of its biggest champions, when Richard ("Dick") Sargent passed away on Saturday November 28, 2020. He was preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Martha, who was also an important figure in the Ravensworth Farm community.
All questions: contact@flapaccotink.org.
