Here’s what young Ashley Brower, granddaughter of the late Briggs Geddis, wrote about a man that many New Canaanites know as the town’s longtime director of environmental health:

“My grandpa who I call Bop-Bop had a nickname for a lot of people. My mom’s nicknames were Abby-Gabby-Gooey and Mrs. Bang, because she slammed doors a lot. My uncle’s names were Briggy-Wiggy and Wig. My names were Pipsqueak and Scallywag.
