MOULTRIE — Retired Colquitt County Correctional Institution Warden Leland Dampier died Thursday from complications related to a Feb. 16 auto accident.

Dampier, 89, served as warden at Colquitt County Correctional Institution from 1972 to 2004, a position he held for 32 years. Dampier also had served on Colquitt County School Board and as mayor of Berlin.

Dampier was remembered by acquaintances as a hard worker who was committed to giving back to the community. In addition to his county job and elected offices, Dampier was a a member of the Shriners, an organization best known for the no-cost medical care provided at the 22 hospitals it administers in the United States.

Marion Hay, a former Colquitt County administrator, was Dampier’s boss but said the two had maintained a friendship and frequently had dinner together prior the Feb. 16 accident.
