WASHINGTON – Congress is poised to name post offices in honor of two Hudson Valley officials who have passed away.
The post office in Holmes would be designated as the Sheriff Adrian “Butch” Anderson Post Office Building and the postal service facility in Haverstraw would be designated as the Paul Piperato Post Office Building.
“Paul Piperato and Butch Anderson both dedicated their lives to serving the people of the Hudson Valley with integrity, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to their communities,” said Congressman Michael Lawler (R, NY-17), who sponsored the resolutions in the House and have advanced through the Senate Homeland and Government Affairs Committee, clearing the way for consideration by the full Senate.
Piperato served more than 30 years in public service including 15 years as Rockland County Clerk. During his tenure, he modernized county operations, expanded online access to county records, launched the RETURN THE F.A.V.O.R. veterans’ initiative, and championed naturalization ceremonies celebrating new American citizens.
Anderson devoted more than five decades to public service in Dutchess County. He began his career as a deputy sheriff in 1970, served as a detective, mayor of the Village of Pawling, and county sheriff from 1999 until his passing in 2021.
