The Conservancy extends our deep sympathy with sharing the news of the passing of WWII Veteran Roy Vanasco

Roy and his brother Jack were longtime community activists and champions leading the community to reopen the Brooklyn War Memorial.  We have so many wonderful memories of their love and meaningful contributions to our park and community.  RIP Roy Vanasco, always in our hearts.  The Conservancy remembers you with love, respect and an abundance of gratitude.
