Many tributes are coming in for Robert “Bob” Farrell, the President of the Allegany County Board of Education who died suddenly Wednesday morning.  Among those who spoke with WCBC is Jeff Metz, a longtime friend of Farrell’s, spoke of his concern with security in schools.

“Basically redesigned our entire security apparatus. You know, he’s the guy that’s responsible for the fact that we have a resource officer in every school, armed and available to help and take care of our kids.”

Scarpelli Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
