May 28, 2008 - PRLog -- Stoughton, MA…  Thomas H. Drummey, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Randolph Savings Bank, has announced the formation of the Randolph Savings Peter T.

Pastore, Jr., former Executive Vice President of the Bank who passed away in 2006, the Foundation will provide financial support to deserving charitable and nonprofit organizations in communities serviced by Randolph Savings Bank.



           “We believe this is a fitting way to honor the memory of Peter Pastore who truly personified the ideal of giving back to the community,” says Drummey. “What Peter provided through his selfless commitment of time and energy, this new Foundation named in his honor seeks to emulate through financial support.”
