Dear Friends:

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you of the passing of a beloved member of our Westchester GOP family, our former county treasurer, Tom Belcastro. Please join me in offering prayers for Tom and his family during this difficult time.

Tom served as Westchester GOP Treasurer for two decades, in addition to his service as Chairman of the North Salem Republican Town Committee, and Councilman and Deputy Supervisor of the Town of North Salem.

Tom was the face of the Westchester GOP for many years, and I relied on him heavily in my early days as chairman, where Tom volunteered several days a week at headquarters to help keep county committee running. He was a most trusted advisor and friend and he will be missed dearly. I am pleased that we were able to honor Tom's years of service to our committee three years ago when we honored him with a Lifetime Achievement Award at our 2023 Lincoln Day Awards Breakfast.

May God Bless Tom, and may he rest in peace.

Doug Colety, Chairman
