Schippers Lane in Vicksburg, Michigan.
Vicksburg Village President Bill Adams and Kathy Hoyle, Vicksburg DDA director, presented a plaque to Schippers that will be placed on a boulder at the new Vicksburg Nature Trailhead. It reads,
“
Be it Known
Henceforth this area is to be known as
Schippers Lane
in honor of Ken ‘Kenny’ Schippers
Son of Vicksburg
who served the people of Vicksburg and
South Kalamazoo County for 23 years
Village Manager and Director of Public Works 2013-2016
Director of Public Works 1993-2013
Ken made himself available to the people of Vicksburg
24 hours a day, 7 days a week
in rain, snow, floods, sunshine and storms.
His love for the people and village as a builder and leader is
legendary. To him, every effort was a means to make Vicksburg
a better place to live, work and play.
Dedicated this 26th day of August 2016
‘If there be any truer measure of a man than by what he does,
must be by what he gives’
