WESTCHESTER COUNTY EXECUTIVE GEORGE LATIMER ISSUES STATEMENT 

ON THE PASSING OF FORMER MAYOR OF THE CITY OF RYE JOHN CAREY.

“I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of long time Mayor of the City of Rye, John Carey. John lived a long life of dedication to public service, good governance and to the place that we both called home. The City of Rye has decided to lower their flags in John’s memory, and in the spirit of partnership with our local governments the County will do the same. To honor John’s commitment to the people that he served, the flags will be lowered at Playland, Edith Reid Sanctuary, the Marshlands Conservancy and the Blind Brook Sewer Treatment Plant. John came before me on the Rye City Council and was an outstanding Mayor, but through it all he always stayed true to his mission to honorably serve in public office. He will be missed.”
