Mel Liebmann officially sold Mel's Army-Navy Center Sept. 1 after owning the store on Williams Street in Pearl River for 57 years, which you can .
To honor Liebmann for his work in the community, a sendoff was held Saturday morning at Mel’s Army-Navy so that numerous local officials, friends and longtime shoppers could show their appreciation for Liebmann.
“Everybody loves you,” Legislator John Murphy said to Liebmann. “[Orangetown Councilman] Denis [Troy] and I are so glad you never ran for office, or else we’d be here running the store.”
As for Mr. Murphy's comments, I echo Harvey Cedars comments. Wait till the Orangetown taxpayer gets their bill this year and they see the increase in thier county taxes. I hope Mr Murphy makes him self as available to answer his constituents questions. Mr. Murphy is great man, a saint, when it comes to helping the mentally handicapped and others that are dissadvantaged. As a legislator, he can and should be doing more for the taxpaying citizens of his district.
I'm in Florida, but my kids have been taking their kids to your store for years. You are a "True Original" and great guy. Charlie Carroll
You were always there when we needed you! You were there for my mom, myself, my children and my grandchildren. No matter what it was your store had it... if not in the front it was always in the back! We shall miss you but will never forget how much you helped us over the years! Margaret Skvorec
