WPCNR MILESTONES.By Carl Albanese. December 15,2009:

In honor of Mr. Paul Wood, Executive Director City of White Plains.

For the many residents or anyone who ever hade the wonderful opportunity to know Mr. Wood at a city meeting or in the Mayor’s office you would come to respect this man for his unique gifted personality.

A guy regardless of his, yours, or the Mayor’s position on policy always welcomed and respected you and treated you with the highest level of consideration and respect.  To Mr. Wood it didn’t matter who you were, walk in the halls of City Hall, the Mayor’ s office and Mr. Wood welcomed you and received you with dignity and his personality first.

Not because of his position, because of who he represented, but because that was just Paul. Mr. Wood had karma of kindness, consideration, soft-spoken voice, receptive, with a remarkable level of patience and cooperation.

A man of great character, enjoyed a laugh, smiled and shared that with you.

If there ever was a guy you would want by your side, loyal and dedicated it was Paul. Passionate about his role and contributions he made to the city and to Mayor Delfino.  A protector, a defender, a devoted Executive Director to the city and always in my opinion worked for the quality of life and improvements of White Plains.

He will be dearly missed, never forgotten and always remembered for who he is.

A really great guy I was able to stand in City Hall with after a battle shakes hands with and thank.

Thank you Mr. Wood for serving our city.

To Mr. Paul Wood and his family, we honor you.
