Welcome to the Town of East Greenbush

Special Thanks to the East Greenbush Community

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped and gave so much in our time of sorrow. The tragic passing of Officer Witko has left wounds that will never be fully closed. Our Community of East Greenbush, our special friends of Rensselaer, Schodack, North Greenbush, Albany and from all over the Capital District have showed how we can come together.

The East Greenbush Police Department did a fantastic job in organizing the proceedings with the Wagner Family. The Emergency Service Groups gave selfless support. The entire community rallied in support of our fallen friend.

They say that time heals all wounds. I’m not entirely sold on that. I am sure that we will always remember the man Ed Witko was.
