THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD — Week after week for years, Roger Wiegand would stand at the lectern in Village Hall with arms folded to address the council.But the voice at the podium made his final comments to Ridgewood’s governing body last fall, after which he soon took ill. Wiegand, a lifelong resident, died in April. And since his death, the council has been considering ways to honor him.
Now, along with members of Wiegand’s family, village officials will gather tonight in the council chambers for a brief reception honoring his memory.
The Village Council also plans to name a portion of South Irving Street “Wiegand Way.”
During the event at 5:30, the speaker’s lectern — Wiegand’s platform — will be affixed with a plaque honoring the outspoken resident.
