Tommy Estus: Employee of the Month
Essex Center on Park Street has announced that Thomas "Tommy" Estus, a 14-year veteran at the facility, is the February 2022 Employee of the Month. Tommy was born in Ticonderoga to adoptive parents who took him around the world when he was young. He has lived in Essex for 14 years and has a 12-year-old daughter named "Alivia". Tommy’s official title at Essex Center is "Kitchen Aide" and he states, “the best two things about my job are that it never changes and I like putting away the orders”. He worked tirelessly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and when asked if he can work extra hours, Tommy was willing to work any shift or change his schedule if need be. He comes to work with a great attitude, gets the job done, and then goes home knowing that he has positively changed residents’ lives. Staff-wise, he is extremely well-liked and works with everyone. According to Beth McLaughlin, Activities Director, “Tommy is very deserving of this recognition. Thank you, Tommy.”
