We are saddened by the loss of Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow. We will always appreciate his support for the Bridges Library System and our mission to serve the community. He understood the value of libraries and the important role they play in connecting people with resources, learning, and opportunity. He was a dedicated public servant, a strong leader, and a bright light in Waukesha County who will be deeply missed.

On behalf of the Office of the County Executive, we sadly share this news with all of you. Yesterday afternoon, after a lengthy and hard-fought battle, Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow lost his fight with cancer. Paul passed away with his wife by his side. For more than a decade, Paul was a proud champion for the residents of Waukesha County. Paul, 61, was one-of-a-kind and it is an understatement to say many of us will miss him dearly. At this time the family has not announced details of a public memorial service. Our heart-felt sympathies are extended to Paul’s family. County Board Chairman Jim Hienrich has temporarily assumed the duties of the office as Acting County Executive. He will remain in that role until the County Board confirms an interim appointment. A countywide special election to select a permanent officeholder will take place in the coming months. To know Paul, was to love Paul, that's just the kind of guy he was. Thank you to all who are keeping the Farrows in your hearts at this time.
