Former Governor Hugh Carey, credited with rescuing New York from financial ruin in the mid-70's, passed away Sunday at 92.
Carey served two terms as Governor before passing the baton, if you will, to Mario Cuomo, father of the current Governor, in 1982. File photos appearing in today's newspapers will show Carey was still out and about well into retirement, including a visit to Saratoga Race Course a couple of years ago. I believe state flags are flying at half-mast today in memory of the former Governor.
Rest in peace.
