  3. So sorry to get this news. We had fallen out of touch as sometimes happens when you get away from the "hometown".

    I want to thank the editor for getting this out there. I come here all the time to find out what's going on in the village, we're moving in the spring, and it's nice to know I can always "come back" online.

    My condolences to the family. They were really good solid Croton people.
