It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of James VanDeGrift, our beloved Trustee.

Jim served as a Trustee for Turtlecreek Township for 32 years, first being elected in 1992.  He had a long career as a teacher and coach in the Lebanon City School District.  After retirement, he continued to support our community and its youth.  The countless ways that he touched so many lives in our community will be remember for years. 

We, in the township, will miss his humor, his judicious nature, and his leadership.   Jim was a beloved member of our team, deeply respected and will be greatly missed by us all.

Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult time.
