Office, Town Hall, Reading, Massachusetts. The meeting was called to order at 8:00 A.M.
This meeting was called to vote on the survivor benefits for accidental disability retiree Robert B. DeSano
Robert B. DeSano passed away on September 22, 2001 due to esophageal cancer. He retired on October 3, 1991
under an accidental disability due to chronic low back pain with underlying degenerative arthritis.
Based on the Board's review of Mr. DeSano's medical records and death certificate they found his death not to be the
natural and proximate result of the injury which was the basis of his accidental disability. Thus his spouse, Joan
DeSano, will be due $6,000 per year for a Section 101 allowance.
Information regarding Joan DeSano's benefit will be sent to PERAC for approval
The members of the Reading Retirement Board also voted to appoint Karen DeAngelis to the postion of Retirement
