We have lost our dear friend Philip Laming.

"The kindest people you meet are not born that way; they are created, shaped by life’s challenges, molded by the struggles they have endured" E.H.

Philip demonstrated a quiet resilience that was so very admirable. He had the kindest heart and gentle soul. He never complained about anything and he appreciated even the smallest gesture, this exceptional attitude despite the curve ball life had thrown him. He loved hockey and heavy metal. He loved his friends and family, and we loved him.

"Yeah, I'm on my way, Just set me free, Home sweet home"

Thank you to Eversource for making energy improvements possible for the DRHA through the Connecticut's Neighborhood Assistance Act (NAA).
