Council Bids Farewell to Bill Procyson

Council members past and present, residents and even Pa. state Rep. Matthew Bradford took turns honoring Councilman-at-Large William "Bill" Procyson Tuesday night as Procyson prepared to leave office to make way for incoming Councilman-at-Large Dwayne Royster.

Procyson was heralded by several speakers for his tireless work in the last nine years as a mentor to fellow office holders and aspiring politicians, an advocate of environmental issues and for making Norristown a better place for all of its residents.

Procyson received no less than four proclamations from municipal, county and state-wide office holders Tuesday night.

Procyson made a point of letting council know that he would continue to be active in Norristown.

"I will be around," he told council members, "and I'm at your service."
