Harold Rose was a role model in our community--a long time volunteer in the CERT program helping families during emergencies.
One of the most dedicated and hard-working members of the Greenburgh CERT team –Harold Rose- passed away.
The CERT team helps emergency responders save lives and protect property. Harold donated thousands of hours of his time volunteering for initiatives that has helped Greenburgh prepare for emergencies. Harold was part of the CERT team for close to 20 years and led their shelter unit. He was also responsible for the CERT van. For info on the CERT team click on the link below:

Every time there was a flood or fire that left residents temporarily homeless Harold was at the temporary shelter – helping residents deal with a very stressful life experience. He also helped during events- most recently Spooktoberfest- a Halloween event sponsored by the Parks department. Harold spent the entire event on his feet, helping direct traffic and keeping residents safe. He was vibrant, caring, very passionate about the town and took his CERT volunteer responsibilities very seriously.
Harold had a stroke last Sunday and never recovered. Services will be on Monday morning at 10 am sharp in the Chapel in the Woods at:
Congregation Kol Ami
252 Soundview Ave.
White Plains, NY
Harold will be missed by his colleagues who are active in the CERT team and by many people in our town -whose lives he impacted for the better. He was a role model in our community. The Greenburgh Town Board will have a moment of silence in honor and in memory of Harold Rose at our Town Board meeting on Monday. We will all miss Harold but will be grateful for all he did for Greenburgh residents.
