BREVARD COUNTY, FL — U.S. House of Representative Bill Posey (R-FL) issued the following statement on the passing of Brevard County’s Emergency Manager Bob Lay:
“This is a sudden and tragic loss for our community,” said Congressman Posey. “Bob was a great guy, a true leader and someone who we all relied on to get us through the hurricanes, storms and other devastating events. Calm in a crisis, cool under pressure, there wasn’t a challenge he wasn’t ready to face. Bob embodied the true meaning public service. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, his wife Patti and all his friends and neighbors that knew him and loved him.”
