“I am truly grateful for the incredible send-off and for the many friendships I’ve built over the past 18 years at the Bank of Cooperstown. It has been an honor to serve our customers and work alongside such a dedicated team. Together, we’ve grown the bank into something special, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey – I will always cherish the memories and the support of this wonderful community,” said White.
