HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Henrico County Board of Supervisors chairman Richard W. “Dick” Glover died Thursday evening. He was 82.

Sources tell CBS 6 Glover died from what appears to be natural causes.

Glover was the longest-serving active member of Henrico’s board. He served as the Brookland District supervisor since 1988.

In January, Glover was unanimously voted chairman by his four fellow supervisors. That was his sixth time voted as chairman of the board.
