Gordon Cromwell
The town of Morrisville has lost a notable diplomat and change-maker.
Former Mayor Gordon Cromwell, 77, died May 2, 2006 after battling bone cancer for nearly a decade.
He is survived by Joyce, his wife of 52 years; three sons, Kevin Cromwell of Waterford, Pa., Brian Cromwell of Glendale, Ariz., and Darin Cromwell of Apex; and five grandchildren.
Cromwell, who served as mayor from 1997 to 2005, shepherded Morrisville through a period of explosive growth, helping it to redefine its small-town identity as it grew from just over 2, 000 citizens to almost 12, 000.
He was often described as a peacemaker, a gentle man who helped bring calm to Morrisville government at a time when the board was notorious for infighting.
Current Morrisville Mayor Jan Faulkner, who served as mayor pro tem under Cromwell for six years, said Morrisville would not have grown and developed as it has if it had not been for Cromwell's influence.
"People were knocking down our doors to develop in Morrisville, and with all the bickering, they were kind of running away, " she said.
Cromwell's stabilizing influence allowed for a more clear-eyed look at development issues, Faulkner said.
Faulkner chose not to run for mayor until Cromwell, whom she described as her mentor, retired.
"He really helped me to look not just right down the road, but further into the future, " she said.
Emma "Tet" Walton, a former Morrisville commissioner, remembered how Cromwell was always sensitive to the feelings of longtime Morrisville residents despite his pro-growth stance. When a proposed expansion of N.C. 54 threatened Walton's home as well as several others belonging to longtime residents, Cromwell helped make sure that the proposal never made it off the ground.
"He was a nice, gentle man. An honorable man, " Walton said.
Originally from upstate New York, Cromwell lived in Waterford, Pa., before moving to Morrisville in 1982 to open a research and development facility for Elgin Electronics, where he was an engineer. Wherever he went, he always involved himself with local politics.
"He always thought he could make a difference, " said son Brian Cromwell.
The younger Cromwell said that it was his father's faith in God that gave him his even-handed temperament.
Cromwell took a gentle approach with his family as well, his son said. He was a strict but loving father who, later in life, enjoyed golfing and singing in a choir with his adult sons.
"He was pretty much my golfing partner, " Brian Cromwell said. "If I couldn't play with him, I'd rather play alone."
