This resolution honors the life and community contributions of Gerald H. Morrow, a distinguished citizen from Verona, New York, who passed away on March 25, 2025, at age 76. Born in Plattsburgh, Morrow was a lifelong resident of the North Country who worked at Grand Union Company before founding his own hay farming and construction businesses, producing over 30,000 hay bales annually and completing numerous home and barn renovations. He was actively involved in public service, serving as a village trustee for Keeseville, Chesterfield Town Councilman, Chesterfield Town Supervisor, and Essex County Board of Supervisors member. Morrow was deeply committed to community service, including involvement with the Knights of Columbus and the United Way, and was known for his compassion and dedication to helping others. The resolution acknowledges his survivors, including his fiancée Patricia Maffa, daughter Lisa Kelley, grandchildren, and siblings, and seeks to memorialize his legacy by pausing to mourn his passing and transmitting a copy of the resolution to his family as a tribute to his life of service and commitment to his community.
