Senior administrative officers described Aran as one of the most calm, composed, and approachable DCs they had ever worked with. They recalled his ability to lead with patience and wisdom, his humility in dealing with people from all walks of life, and his unwavering commitment to public welfare.
Many shared that, despite holding the highest administrative office in the district, he remained grounded, soft-spoken, and readily accessible to officers, staff, and members of the public alike. His quiet leadership and humane approach earned him not only respect but genuine affection from everyone around him. Officers and staff from different departments also shared cherished memories of working with the outgoing DC and extended their heartfelt wishes to all three retirees on their superannuation.
