Tony Bennett's Legacy: Love and Support from NYC Carriage Drivers to Bandmates
Carriage drivers in Central Park left a touching note on the bench dedicated to legendary crooner Tony Bennett, who passed away at the age of 96. The note, slightly tweaking the lyrics to one of his songs, expressed disbelief at his passing and honored him as a Central Park icon. Flowers and bouquets were also left on the bench, which was a favorite spot for Bennett, who often visited the park to paint scenes from nature. High-profile New Yorkers, including Mayor Eric Adams and Billy Joel, paid tribute to Bennett, remembering him as a talented artist and a kind-hearted individual.
