PARSIPPANY — A plaque at Smith Field honoring Frank Sohlgren, a longtime Mount Tabor resident and volunteer firefighter, was restored and rededicated on Monday, October 26.
The plaque dedicates the field to the memory of Sohlgren, who served as Parsippany’s Parks and Recreation Director from 1966 to 1978.
The restoration came after Sohlgren’s daughter brought the plaque’s condition to the township’s attention. In addition to restoring the plaque, a tree was planted beside it.
“When someone has given so much to Parsippany, we should listen, follow through, and make sure they are not forgotten,” said Mayor Pulkit Desai.
