“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. David Greenwood, a beloved member of our Hudson Valley community, who passed away recently at his home in Millbrook, New York. A lifelong lover of the arts, David graduated from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo with an art history degree before pursuing his master's back at home at SUNY New Paltz where he was ultimately named an outstanding alumnus. He and his wife, Nan, married in his ancestral home in Yorkshire in 1974 while David was working as an art history teacher. He was later named supervisor of the entire K-12 arts program, a position which he held until his retirement in 2004. Coming back home to our community in the Hudson Valley, he contributed so much to so many. One of David's proudest accomplishments was an annual calendar project in Millbrook, celebrating the town's people, places, and events throughout history, which in 2022 earned him the Edmund J. Winslow Local Government Historian Award of Excellence. Our community is a better place because of the years of service and spirit that David Greenwood brought to the Hudson Valley. We thank David, and our thoughts are with his family. Congratulating Maureen Halahan”
