Letter to the Editor: Everyone matters to Coutinho

by | Jun 19, 2020 | Letter to Editor

I am asking everyone to consider casting their vote on June 29 for John Coutinho for the Select Board.

First let me state that John is a friend. It is how he became a friend that is why everyone should consider reelecting John. For the longest time, everywhere I went in Hopkinton, John was there. I didn’t know him, but I always saw him. When I finally met John I was immediately impressed most with his humanity. He always wanted to know how I was, how the family was. He asked if there was anything that I needed. He asked how the town could be better.

John didn’t, and doesn’t care who you are. If you live in Hopkinton then you matter to John. I have always thought about how fortunate Hopkinton could be if there were five of John. We are so very fortunate that we at least have one. Let’s make sure that John keeps working for everyone!

— Bill Marr, owner/president, Hopkinton Home Care
