Flags to be flown at half-staff across New York state on Thursday, July 9
Submitted by the Office of Gov. Kathy Hochul
On Wednesday, Gov. Kathy Hochul directed flags on all state government buildings to be lowered Thursday, July 9, from sunrise to sunset, in honor of Chief David A. Gagnon of the Cottekill Fire Department who died in the line of duty on July 3 after being struck by a portion of a tree while clearing a roadway in the Town of Rosendale.
“For more than three decades, Dave lived a life of extraordinary services to his country and his community,” Hochul said. “A member of the New York Army National Guard and a firefighter with the Cottekill Fire Department, served with honor and protected his neighbors until the end. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, fellow soldiers, and the Cottekill Fire Department as we honor his lasting legacy of selfless service.”
