Statement from Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum on the Passing of Former Council Member Robert Dryfoos

Robert Dryfoos was a fixture of New York City government, a public servant of remarkable ability, and a personal friend. His legacy lives in the New York Junior Tennis League, the American Folk Art Museum, the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and the many other groups he represented so passionately. I send my condolences to his family at this difficult time.
