City officials mourn former councilmember

by | Jan 7, 2021 | Latest

Former Princeton City Coun­cilmember Richard Sheehan, 76, died after a battle with can­cer on New Year’s Day at Bay­lor Hospital in Dallas.

Sheehan became involved with the city of Princeton after retiring from Xerox/ACS. He first joined the Parks Board in 2011 and then North Texas Mu­nicipal Water District, where he served for five years. His inter­est in improving the city did not end there, as he joined the Com­munity Development Corpora­tion board in 2013.

Sheehan decided to become even more involved, and in 2018, he was elected to city council where he served until his term ended in 2020.
