(NASDAQ:DCOM) (the "Company" or "Dime"), the parent company of Dime Community Bank (the "bank"), is saddened to announce that Anthony ("Tony") Bergamo, a member of the Company's Board of Directors since its formation in 1995 and a Director of the bank since 1986, passed away on Friday, September 29.
"Tony was a larger-than-life presence on the Board and wherever he went," said Kenneth J. Mahon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dime.

He was Vice Chairman of MB Real Estate, a national full service company engaged in the leasing, sales, investment and management of commercial and industrial real estate.

"Dime has lost a respected leader, a dedicated director, and a friend," said Vincent F. Palagiano, Chairman of both the Company and bank. "On behalf of the Dime family, we would like to express our condolences and sympathy to Tony’s family and friends during this difficult time."
