Cuomo Delivers Eulogy For Slain Aide

Office of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo

New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo delivered the eulogy at the funeral of Carey Gabay.

The governor's aide died September 15th of injuries sustained during a shooting in the early morning hours September 7th.

In his remarks Saturday morning, Cuomo said "Carey's life and Carey's death is a telling story   with a  timely message and a call to action. His death was one of the most tragic, pointless examples of the rampant violence that is spreading like a cancer through our society, especially in our poorer communities and  especially in our communities of color." 

Gabay was a member of the Cuomo administration for four years, and most recently served as First Deputy General Counsel at Empire State Development.
