New York City Mayor Eric Adams today released the following statement on the passing of Paul Vallone, deputy commissioner for external affairs at the New York City Department of Veterans Services. Vallone previously represented District 19 in Queens in the New York City Council:
“The borough of Queens and our entire city mourn the loss of Paul Vallone, a true public servant and New Yorker. A true son of Queens, he upheld a family legacy through his service in the New York City Council and with the New York City Department of Veterans’ Services. Throughout his time in office, the blue-collar community he represented knew they had a fighter from the neighborhood representing them in City Hall. In that role and as a member of our administration, he was a committed advocate for veterans — serving those who have served our country. It was an honor to serve alongside him, and I know New Yorkers will join me in keeping the Vallone family in your hearts today.”
