Does anyone know why the black and purple bunting is on the Town Hall? I noticed it this morning (don't know if it was there before today).

"Cookie" Howard an employee at Town Hall passed away. I had dealings with her for may years as a Township employee, and she was always a very sweet and knowledgeable person.

It is traditional for the bunting to be placed on the workplace of an active township employee for 30 days after their death.
Here's the Obit:
