MOMENT OF SILENCE
In memory of retired Greenburgh Police Officer Gary Farmer, who was raised in Elmsford and graduated Alexander Hamilton High School in 1985. Gary Farmer became Police Officer Farmer on May 30, 1995. He spent much of his career assigned to the Community Police Unit. He received numerous awards and commendations during his career, before retiring on September 19, 2012. He also obtained a degree in Organizational Management from Manhattan College in 2012. Gary Farmer operated his own family business RSF Building Maintenance for over twenty years, worked for Archbishop Stepinac High School as an Assistant Coach and put his all into his most important role, father to his son John. Gary was hardworking, loyal, and could be well intentioned, but painfully honest. He was friendly, caring, supportive, and true to himself. He was the type of individual that touched the lives of many and will be missed by many far too soon.
In memory of Anna Thaxton who passed away on Friday. She was a longtime resident of the Town and a beloved Physical Education teacher with the Greenburgh Central School District for many years until her retirement.
In memory of the people in Ukraine killed during Russia's invasion and relentless intentional targeted bombing of civilians in apartment buildings, hospitals, train stations, schools and children centers, deliberating targeting utilities used by civilians to leave them without electricity and heat through the brutal winter weather, with mass graves being found after invaded areas have been retaken, all in Russia's effort to destroy Ukraine and its people, who are forced to fight for their land, their freedom, and general democratic principles. May they rest in peace and peace be restored to Ukraine |
