This resolution mourns the passing of Northern Wilcher, Jr., a distinguished public servant and community leader who died on September 11, 2024. Born in Wadley, Georgia in 1935, Wilcher moved to New York in the early 1950s, worked at Grasslands Hospital, and was self-employed as a plumber and carpenter for over 50 years. He was a dedicated community member who served on the Ossining Town Board for multiple terms, was active in his church and religious organizations like the Prince Hall Masons and Order Eastern Star, and was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. The resolution highlights his community involvement, his passion for gardening and fishing, and his commitment to serving others, noting that he was survived by two sons, a daughter, multiple grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and was preceded in death by his wife Jessie. The legislative body expresses its deepest condolences to his family and resolves to transmit an official copy of the resolution to his surviving family members, commemorating Wilcher's significant contributions to his community and his enduring legacy of service, compassion, and love.
