MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio -- Longtime City Councilman Robert DeJohn has announced that he has retired from his two jobs, resigned from council, and moved with his wife to Texas.
“It has been an honor to serve the constituents of this city for the last 10-plus years,” Teresa DeJohn read from her father’s letter. “The last name DeJohn and Mayfield Heights have been intertwined for the last 72 years. This started when my father, Ross C. DeJohn, moved into the city in 1952.” Robert DeJohn continued by stating, “I’d be remiss if I did not say how much it pains me that the promise was not kept to put my dad’s name on the new community center after his many years of service to the city.
Teresi, who served the past 12 consecutive years on council, was not permitted to run for re-election in 2023 due to the city’s three-consecutive- term limit. DeJohn went on the thank the city’s residents for giving him “the opportunity to represent you as a member of Mayfield Heights City Council.” When contacted by phone on Thursday , DeJohn said he and his wife of 41 years, Lori, are living outside Austin in Dripping Springs, Texas. His son, Booby, and his daughter-in-law live in Austin and are expecting next spring their first child. It will be DeJohn’s first grandchild.
