Mayor's Statement on the Passing of Former Mayor Koka Booth
As Mayor of Cary, N.C., it is with a heavy yet grateful heart that I acknowledge the death of our 34th mayor - Mayor Koka Booth, who passed away last night. On behalf of the entire Cary Town Council and staff along with the 184,000 citizens who call Cary home, I extend our heartfelt condolences to Mayor Booth's family and thank them for sharing so much of him with us. We all benefited from his enthusiastic efforts to help make Cary the wonderful place it is today. In honor of Mayor Booth's service from 1987-1999 and beginning with the day of his funeral, we will lower Cary flags for 12 days - one day for each of his years as Mayor - and proclaim that day to be a day of remembrance in Cary.
