Dick Cullinan Retirement
It was an honor to recognize the retirement of Richard “Dick” Cullinan, who has served as Topsfield’s Veterans Service Officer since 2013, by marking this momentous occasion with the presentation of an official Senate citation at the Topsfield Selectboard meeting on Monday, January 12, 2026.
Over the past 16 years, Dick has devoted countless hours supporting our veterans and their families—assisting with emergency financial aid, helping secure benefits for disabled veterans and Gold Star families, guiding veterans on housing, employment, education, and more.
A U.S. Air Force veteran himself, Dick has dedicated his life to service, both in uniform and in our community. His leadership, compassion, and tireless advocacy have made a lasting impact, and Topsfield’s veterans are stronger because of him.
Thank you, Dick, for your dedicated service - please join me in wishing him the best as he begins this next chapter!
