Erie County Legislator John Mills recently honored the Town of Orchard Park Supervisor, Dr. Pat Keem, on his retirement.

Dr. Keem was first elected back in 2014 with a long list of goals he hoped to accomplish. Some of those include: the Brush Mountain Park Community Activity Center, restoration of Green Lake, upgrades at the town’s five playgrounds, and a garbage and recycling contract that has greatly benefitted residents. After six years in office, he has completed nearly all of his goals.

Dr. Keem has contributed regularly to the community in Orchard Park and beyond. He has laid a helping hand at the Orchard Park Senior Council, East Aurora Baseball Hall of Fame and the Erie County Stadium Corporation and many more.

Legislator Mills said, “Thank you to Dr. Keem for your continued dedication to the people and business owners in the Town of Orchard Park. You are leaving a lasting legacy with big shoes to fill—you will be truly missed by all. I wish you many years of happiness in retirement.”
