The Greenburgh Town Board appreciates comments from residents at its open meetings. Recently, comments have been made that, whether intended or not, were hurtful to other members of the public because the comment perpetuated racial or religious tropes and stereotypes. We believe it is appropriate to remind everyone that bigotry and hate have no place in Greenburgh. As we move forward we will work together to educate each other around this issue. Our goal is to maintain a robust and constructive dialogue. We are confident that this Town can continue to have these dialogues.

In Memory of Robert David Dam, 71, of Thornwood, passed September 10, 2022, after retiring August 19 from the Town of Greenburgh after 22 years of dedicated service as a Deputy Building Inspector, and then Building Inspector his last year. He also was an Air Force veteran. In his spare time he enjoyed helping his children complete projects on their homes, visiting with his brother in Florida and tinkering with electronics. The time he enjoyed most though was being Pop-Pop to his four grandchildren.

Robert is survived by his wife, Laura; his four children, Michelle, Ronald, Paul and Christina; his brother Ronald and sister-in-law Patricia; his daughters-in-law, Yinette and Bella; his sons-in-law Franco and Richard, and countless nieces and nephews and their children.

He proved that one does not have to hold an elective office to make a big difference in people's lives.
