The Village of Lindenhurst proudly recognized Ed Kozlowski upon his retirement after an extraordinary 45 years of dedicated service to the community.
Mr. Kozlowski spent his career serving as a Heavy Equipment Operator (HEO) with the Department of Public Works. Throughout his four and a half decades of service, he earned the respect and appreciation of his colleagues through his ability, diligence, and commitment to the Village and its residents.
In recognition of his remarkable career, Mayor Michael Lavorata, with the unanimous support of the Village Board of Trustees, proclaimed Wednesday, July 29, 2026, as “Ed Kozlowski Day” in the Village of Lindenhurst. The proclamation honors Kozlowski for his 45 years of faithful service and his lasting contributions to the community.
“Ed has made a lasting difference, not only in the work of our Department of Public Works, but also in the lives of the people he worked alongside. We are deeply grateful for everything he has done for Lindenhurst and wish him nothing but health, happiness and many wonderful years ahead in retirement,” said Deputy Mayor Maryann Weckerle.
