The Anderson County Commission at its Sept. 16 meeting honored the late John Shuey, who died Aug. 29. Commission Chairman Tyler Mayes, right, read and presented a resolution that honored Shuey in many roles: as an Anderson County commissioner for the Seventh District, representing Oak Ridge; as bailiff for Oak Ridge General Sessions Court; as an actor with the Oak Ridge Playhouse; as a summer-camp playground coach at Elm Grove School; as a player on community softball teams; and as a “son, brother, uncle and friend.” Commissioners voted unanimously to declare Oct. 22 John Shuey Day in Anderson County.
