The Walton Town Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Joseph M. Cetta to the position of Walton Town Supervisor. Joe is a 36 year veteran of the USMC and National Guard, and has previously held positions in the Village of Walton, most recently as a Village Trustee.

“We are pleased to welcome Joe to the Board to help us carry on the vision and projects that Charlie Gregory so passionately pursued. While we are saddened by the events that precede this appointment, we are confident that Joe can help us continue the progress made for the future of Walton.”

It is with sorrow and regret that we confirm the passing of our Walton Town Supervisor, Charles F. Gregory. Charlie was a force of nature and a passionate believer in our Town and community. We will all miss his commitment to this community, whether it was through the Fire Dept, his church, or, of course, as Town Supervisor. We extend our personal sympathies to his family and friends as we also grieve the loss to our Board.
