It’s bittersweet seeing valued colleagues retire. Last night I watched our Deputy Director of Civil Process, Lisa Welch Muscato, enjoy the company of the staff that have worked with her over the past 40 years. Her family pridefully heard speeches from her colleagues from other Sheriff’s offices throughout the Commonwealth ( and Sheriff Ogden himself). I recognize it doesn’t get much better than this.
Lisa, you have earned our admiration and respect. It makes me happy knowing that you are entering a new era of life in good health with a loving family and work family that will always be there for you. Thank you for everything you have done for me and our agency. Enjoy your retirement.

Thank you Dukes County Sheriff Bob Ogden for joining the festivities.

Congratulations to Deputy Director of Civil Process, Lisa Muscato, on her 40 years of service to the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office.

We appreciate that you are not going too far away and that we will still be seeing you. Wishing you an abundance of good health and happiness in retirement.
