City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Ozone Park), Councilman Bob Holden (D-Maspeth), the City Police Department, Newtown Historical Society, Woodhaven Cultural & Historical Society, and the family of NYPD School Safety Agent Orville M. Williams on Monday invited residents of South Queens to the corner of Dexter Court and 85th Drive in Woodhaven this Saturday, May 4, at 1 p.m. for a street co-naming ceremony in honor of Agent Williams service and sacrifice.
On Nov. 16, 1999, Williams responded to an altercation at the former Franklin K. Lane High School in Woodhaven where he was assigned when he collapsed after breaking up the fight. He was removed to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center where he died a short while later.
“Let’s come together to remember those who gave everything,” Holden said.
