🇺🇸 HONOR & REMEMBER — OCTOBER 20, 1981 🖤💙🖤

Today marks the 45th anniversary of the 1981 Brinks armored car robbery, a tragic day in Rockland County history that claimed the lives of three men:

Nyack Police Sergeant Edward J. O'Grady, Jr.

Nyack Police Officer Waverly L. "Chipper" Brown

Brink's Security Guard Peter Paige

On October 20, 1981, these three men lost their lives during a violent armed robbery and subsequent confrontation with police that forever impacted the families, law enforcement community, and residents of Rockland County.

Today at 4:00 PM, members of the Stony Point Police Department will join fellow law enforcement agencies, family members, and community members for the annual remembrance ceremony in Central Nyack, at the memorial located near the entrance to the New York State Thruway at Mountainview Drive.

We gather not only to remember the tragic events of that day, but to honor the lives, service, and sacrifice of these three men and ensure their memory is never forgotten.

45 years later, we continue to honor their sacrifice. May they never be forgotten.

🇺🇸 We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget.

In Loving Memory of Donald R. "Cool Breeze" Branson, Jr. 🇺🇸

The Stony Point Police Department extends our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Donald R. Branson, Jr., affectionately known throughout our community as "Cool Breeze," on his recent passing.

A proud United States Army veteran, Donald dedicated much of his life to honoring and supporting his fellow veterans and serving the Stony Point community.

For many years, Donald was an active member of the Charles R. Lewis VFW Post 8997 in Tomkins Cove, helping lead the Town's Memorial Day parades and playing an instrumental role in the establishment of the veterans memorials at the intersection of Routes 9W and 210. His commitment to ensuring that the service and sacrifices of our nation's veterans would never be forgotten leaves a lasting legacy in our town.

Donald was a familiar and welcome presence at countless community gatherings, veterans ceremonies, and events throughout Stony Point. His dedication to his fellow veterans, his community, and the people who serve it was truly admirable.

We are grateful for his service to our country, his friendship, and the many contributions he made to our community.

Rest in peace, Cool Breeze. Thank you for your service, your friendship, and your unwavering commitment to our veterans. You will be missed. 🇺🇸
