Tree Dedication
On July 10, 2008, one day before the anniversary of his death, the Village, family and friends gathered at 7:00 p.m. for the dedication of a newly planted Swamp White Oak Tree near the Village Hall to remember and honor Police Chief Crowley. The dedication inscribed on a bronze tablet affixed to a stone at the base of the tree symbolizes Pat’s courage and strength, which he showed as he faced his battle against cancer, and his on-going dedication to the Village and his fellow officers. The inscription reads as follows:
This Mighty Oak Tree

Head Park, in memory of
