Tolland Businessman Gets Towman Award

TOLLAND, CT — Tolland fire officials said Friday that Chief John Littell's nominee, Greg DeBacco, the owner of Bill’s Auto Parts, Inc., was selected to be among this year’s recipients of American Towman Magazine’s Order of Towman Award.

The Order of Towman Award recognizes towing professionals who have performed for their town and community in an exemplary manner. Bestowed upon those in the towing industry who consistently go above and beyond in their service and assistance to their local police and fire departments, nominees must be nominated by either the local police chief or the local fire chief.

On Nov. 13 DeBacco traveled to American Towman Magazine’s Annual Conference held in Baltimore to participate in a pinning ceremony and personally receive this honor. Eighty-six towing professionals from across the nation were inducted into the 2021 Order of Towman class for their unyielding dedication to their community and their profession. Of the 86 only three were from Connecticut.
