I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to our community for their overwhelming support and generosity. In the wake of losing our beloved Lt. Michael “Hootch” Hoosock, our community has come together in a remarkable display of solidarity and compassion, offering an outpouring of food, drinks and donations to support us during this difficult time. Whether it was delivering food, assisting in coordinating fundraising events for Lt. Hoosock’s family, or simply offering their condolences, the response has been nothing short of inspiring.
