OXFORD – The Town of Oxford Board accepted the retirement of 28-year Superintendent of Highway Timothy Tefft at its meeting Wednesday night.

Tefft, who has spent the last 32 years with the town highway department, submitted his retirement notice, effective September 28, in a letter addressed to town board members on June 21.

Supervisor Lawrence Wilcox and Oxford Town Board members accepted Tefft's retirement with regrets.

Wilcox said to Tefft, "I certainly do thank you for your service to the town. I've had extremely few calls over the 21 years that I've been supervisor, as far as complaints about our roads, and I think that speaks very well to you."

In his retirement letter, Tefft thanked Wilcox and Oxford Town Clerk James W. Hemstrought, Jr. for their support over the years.
