Chatham Parade's Grand Marshal Has Historic Roots in Borough

When a parade entertains residents for 61 years, picking its Grand Marshal is more than choosing anyone ordinary.

And for Chatham’s annual July 4 Parade this Saturday, the Grand Marshal has some of the deepest roots the borough can offer.

Greg Henrich, a 46-year member of the Chatham Fire Department and life-long resident will head this year’s procession down Main Street.

Henrich comes from a long line of firefighters, including his father and uncles, and his grandfather, Charles F. Henrich, a former chief in the Chatham Fire Department.

Greg Henrich served as Company Captain, Lieutenant, Deputy Chief, and Chief while contributing to the community as a member of the Special Police for 15 years.

Henrich and his wife, Chris, have raised three children in the borough.
