Former Cortlandt Supervisor Charles DiGiacomo Dies at 82

Former Cortlandt Supervisor Charles DiGiacomo, who led the town from 1980 to 1989, died December 29 following a recent illness. He was 82.

He was born June 14, 1940, to Bertha and Charles DiGiacomo, Sr and grew up in Ossining. He graduated from Ossining High School in 1958 as Class President. He obtained a bachelor’s degree from Pace University. In addition, he served in the U.S. Army Reserves as a Second Lieutenant.

He then began his career with Exxon. According to his family, his true love was serving the community as a Town of Cortlandt councilman and subsequently for 10 years as town supervisor during an often highly charged political climate and a time of development growth in Cortlandt.

“He had a great dedication to the town,” said George Oros, who worked as a government assistant under DiGiacomo before becoming assistant town attorney. “He did a good job leading Cortlandt through the 1980s and I extend my condolences to Terry and his three daughters who are really wonderful people.”   More at Former Cortlandt Supervisor Charles DiGiacomo Dies at 82 | The Examiner News
