Celebrating a Life of Love, Family, and Faith

Carmela Ann Nardella, 81, of CT, passed away on April 19th, 2026 peacefully surrounded by her family. Born on September 23, 1944, Carmela was the beloved daughter of the late Carlo and Angelina Passarelli.

Carmela was known for her warm personality, kindness, supportive nature, Italian cooking, faith, strong work ethic, and her love of the beach, where she spent time with family each summer.

Most important to Carmela were family holidays, her children and grandchildren's milestones, and celebrations. Carmela found the greatest joy in her endless support for her children and family, watching her grandsons grow up, baking and cooking with them, walks on the beach, and collecting seashells. She created lasting memories with each generation, making everyone feel loved and valued.

She is survived by her three children and three grandchildren: Her daughter, Carolann Nardella; her son Anthony Nardella (wife Nicole); and daughter Andrea Nardella; and grandsons, Luke, Will, and Jake Nardella. She is also survived by her sister Carol Zerbo (husband Mike), as well as many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sisters, Tomasina Passarelli and Joan Rammairone (husband Arthur).

Linda Jo Calloway

Linda Jo Calloway

Linda Jo Calloway, one of the first women to earn a doctorate in information technology, died in February at Morningside at Mount Sainai hospital from medical complications of a broken femur and hip in a fall at her Carnegie Hill residence in Manhattan. She had retired in 2021 after nearly 30 years on the faculty of Pace University’s Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems.

She is survived by her brother, Larry Calloway, and her niece, Maia Calloway.

Dr. Calloway began her productive career at the birth of the U.S. manned space program. Her first jobs after graduation from Colorado University Boulder were with NASA subcontractors at Cape Canaveral including ITT’s Apolo launch data system. She pursued her graduate degrees later at New York University while working with all-male faculties at Hofstra and Fordham Universities. Her patience paid off eventually. She was awarded the NYU Stern School of Information Systems PhD in 1989 and received tenure at Pace University nine years later.

During her Pace career she was influential in the field of information systems theory. She published articles in leading international journals including the Oxford University Journal of Information Technology, Information Systems Journal, Blackwell Scientific Publications, and Journal of College Teaching and Learning. One of her most topical studies of interest to business investigated crisis management. It opened with the statement, “When crisis strikes, fast response management depends upon quickly configuring and employing information and communications.”

Her papers, some with Pace students, were early investigations if issues that became relevant years later with the popular press – such as China’s ability to continue growing its economy if it cannot continue to attract multinational IT corporations. Another described the surprise result of a controlled survey of student groups that revealed a general use of “emotional language” in their relationship to software engineering tools – an issue predominant now in AI discussions.

Perhaps because of the early novelty of a women working in information technology – not unusual now – Dr. Calloway was academically welcomed in other countries when she was young. She was a research fellow at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, a visiting scholar at Fudan University in Shanghai and a teacher at the Irish Management Institute in Dublin.

Her non-academic interests were as diverse as her many friends. One of her most intensive preoccupations was nature photography, which she practiced on her frequent walks in Central Park. She loved the wild creatures– birds, squirrels, racoons – and she knew where some always nested, and she gave them names. She also had a creative interest in the city’s puddles. They are many, and they can be dirty. But her focus was what they framed – pure reflections of life. She published photos and poetic attachments in her little book called “As Clear As If I Saw It.”

She loved music, voice in particular. For many summers she sang in the chorus the Verdi productions in the park by New York Grand Opera. She joined the American Federation of broadcast performers, which would have delighted her maternal grandmother, who had been a labor organizer for auto workers in Detroit. And friends and colleagues were surprised to see her in a bit part in at least one “Law and Order” show on television.

In the Sixties she met Ray Rauth in the Cape Canaveral community theater. They were married and eventually moved to New York City, perhaps with acting in mind. They lived together for ten years until different interests led to their divorce. Just before their breakup they had found a spacious ground-level apartment on the Upper Eastside. She lived in it fifty years, until the morning last June when she tripped and fell while going to the lobby of her building to look for mail.

in 1967. Mrs. Connor reentered the workforce in 1980 as a seminar

planner, organizing trade shows across the country.

Though she achieved much in her business life, Mrs. Connor’s true passion

lay in service to others. She joined Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in

1958, joining the choir, serving as Deacon and Elder, and was instrumental

in the founding of the St. Andrew Music Society in 1965. Mrs. Connor

began work as a lay Chaplain for the Hospital Chaplaincy, where she

visited patients at Lenox Hill Hospital on a bi-weekly basis for over 40

years. She served on the the Board of the James Lenox House Association

from 1971 until her death. During that time, as a member of the Board of

Health Advocates for Older People, she chaired the committee which

designed services for Carnegie East House–the first non profit enriched

housing residence in Manhattan for older adults. Mrs. Connor also served

on the Board of Trustees for the Hewitt School and as President of the

Board of Directors of 103 East 75th Street. She is survived by her daughter,

Margaret Foley Connor and two grandsons, Timothy and Owen Johnson,

one niece, one nephew and a great nephew. In lieu of flowers, please

After attending Lady Cliff College Barbara worked for Columbia Presbyterian Hospital before beginning a long and distinguished career at the Waldorf Astoria Towers.

Jacqueline (Niego) Turner of Manhattan, New York, passed away peacefully on January 27, 2026, at the age of 88. Born on March 4, 1937, in the Bronx, she was the beloved daughter of Olga and Joseph Niego.

A proud New Yorker through and through, Jacqueline built a life defined by devotion—to her family, her faith, and her work. After graduating from Cathedral High School in New York City, she spent over three decades serving the United States Government with dedication and professionalism before continuing her career in the private sector with more than two decades at Bristol Myers Squibb. Her strong work ethic and commitment to excellence earned her the respect of colleagues across the years.

In 1994, Jacqueline married Nicholas Turner, with whom she shared a deep faith and a love of dancing until his passing. Together, they made their home in Manhattan, where Jacqueline lived for the remainder of her life.

Jacqueline was a lifelong and active member of the Catholic Church, serving faithfully as a lector for many decades. Her voice, presence, and reverence were well known and cherished within her parish community.

Outside of work and church, Jacqueline was an avid New York Yankees fan, and she found great joy in ballroom dancing— a passion that brought her friendship and movement.

Jacqueline is survived by her loving sister, Maureen Selskis, and by her many nieces and nephews: Joseph Niego, Michael Niego, James Niego, Kathleen Lawson, Patrick Callahan, Jeanne Confehr, Jacqueline Selskis, Mary Carney, and Albert Selskis. She was a devoted and cherished aunt, great-aunt, and great-great-aunt, and she leaves behind many great-nieces and great-nephews and great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews who will forever hold her memory close.

She is preceded in death by her siblings Joseph Niego, Nora Niego and Victoria Callahan, whom she loved dearly.

Jacqueline will be remembered as a devoted wife, daughter, sister, aunt, great-aunt, and great-great-aunt; a woman of faith; a loyal friend; and a true New Yorker who will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

NESTOR ZAPATA

June 28,1932—January 15, 2026

New York City, New York

For He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. Psalm 91:1 See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the

place I have prepared. Exodus 23:20

Nestor Benjamin Zapata went home to the Risen Jesus on January 15, 2026 at age 93.

Nestor was born to Nestor Ulises Zapata and Ana Mangual on June 28, 1932 in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. As a child, he excelled in school, theater and sports. With leading roles in plays at George Washington High School in Washington Heights, New York. He was also an avid baseball and basketball player. He loved playing golf with his friends. He also was an excellent ice skater that few professionals could rival.

Nestor met his first wife, Connie in 1952 at a church dance. They married two years later on July 13, 1954 and had four children: Nestor, Michael, Laura and Christina. Also many grandchildren: Zechariah, Nicole, Dillon, Tyler, Dane and Alexandra, Ashley and Alaina, as well as his beloved great grandchild—Oliver.

He later met his current wife, Grace and married November 5, 1999. They loved going to meetings to celebrate the gift of sobriety, as well as helping many people along the journey. They also enjoyed going to Lincoln Center, Radio City and Broadway—seeing Hamilton twice! They also acquired an incredible taste for New York City Cuisine.

Nestor Benjamin Zapata was 93 years old, a true New Yorker (he was loud and bold), cherished his kids, grandkids and his wife, Grace. He shouldn't have lived a long life given his past, but the decisions he made and the Grace of God allowed him to live until he was called to Heaven—a blessing. I will never take that for granted. If you ever had a chance to meet him, I bet you'd laugh right away thinking about his hilarious (and unfiltered) sense of humor. There was never a dull moment with Grandpa, and his memory lives on with endless inside jokes. Love you Grandpa! From your "favorite granddaughter," Ashley.

In addition to being a dedicated father, Nestor also loved the New York Yankees and the New York Giants, also stayed active in AA; sponsoring many men and holding various roles at the Church. He also will be remembered for umpiring Little League on Roosevelt Island. He held an unwavering faith in God, which he shared with those who surrounded him. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful servants. Psalm 116:15 In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Holy Family—St. John the Evangelist Church.

Donna M. Hamilton, a beloved mother, was born on December 27, 1943 in Kansas City, MO and peacefully passed away in the early evening of October 31, 2025. Donna’s faith guided her outlook to motherhood and to life.

Donna grew up throughout the state of Texas. After graduating high school, her family moved to Washington, D. C. She eventually met and later married Vernon Hamilton (1930-2014); they had three children. Donna enjoyed participating in her church's events, embroidery, watching Hallmark movies, and most of all being with her family and friends. She had a beautiful smile and a kind, friendly personality that was noticed by everyone.

Donna retired from New York Presbyterian Hospital after working as a Physician’s Assistant for over 35 years. She worked in the ambulatory surgery and plastic surgery departments, but her passion was in plastic surgery. Donna was phenomenal and highly respected in her field and often would be called upon to help the student physicians.

Donna is survived by her three children: Scott, Melody, and Todd, an older brother, John Scott, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her grandson, Hamilton, who lived nearby, was often at her apartment visiting, going to the store for her when it became too difficult, or trying to keep her spirit up. Donna was loving, kind, charming, and unforgettable. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her and she will continue to inspire us all.

Two quotes that our mother always told us (and the grandchildren and great-grandchildren): “treat others the way you wanted to be treated” and “do not compare yourself to others because for always there will be greater and lesser persons than you.”

Staten Island, NY 10306

John S. Bracken (82), of Eltingville, Staten Island passed away on Tuesday, October 21, 2025 surrounded by love from his immediate family.

John, more affectionately known as Jack, was born on November 28, 1942 on Staten Island to John and Evelyn Bracken. John grew up on Staten Island but spent most of his adult life in Manhattan and The Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York. While John was born a city man, he always heard the call of the wild deep in his heart. After spending many years in the city, he left for the peacefulness of the Upstate New York Catskill Mountain Range. There he spent his final years in harmony and total freedom, something he valued beyond words.

As a young man, John served as a Paratrooper in the United States Army which was followed by a career in the FDNY during which he rose to the rank of Lieutenant. Throughout his life, John was a business owner, real estate investor, and restaurateur. One of his many ventures included being the proprietor of The Cathedral Cafe, a well established bar/restaurant on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, featured in both television and film.

John married his loving wife, Maureen Elizabeth Murphy Bracken, on July 18, 1981 in New York City and together they shared 44 years of love and companionship. He is survived by his wife (Maureen Elizabeth Bracken, née Murphy), his daughter (Casey Elizabeth Ryan), his son-in-law (James Raymond Ryan III), and his grandson (James Raymond Ryan IV (JR)), his niece (Donna Bracken Albanese) and her husband (Jody Albanese), nephews (Richard Bracken JR. and Brian Bracken), great nephew (Richard Bracken III), and great nieces (Kristy and Jennifer Albanese).

Kelvin LaVerne

Kelvin LaVerne (1937-2025)

Kelvin LaVerne, 88, of New York, New York, died peacefully at home surrounded by family, on September 24, 2025.

He was born in Bronx, New York in 1937 to Philip and Claire LaVerne. Kelvin often recounted his days playing stoopball, stickball, and other street games of the era. He lived blocks from Yankee Stadium and became an avid fan of the great teams of the 1940s and 1950s, sometimes watching the games and cheering with friends from a nearby rooftop.

Born into a line of artists, Kelvin found his calling early on. His grandfather was a muralist, and his father, Philip, a talented, largely self-taught artist, who found success working and innovating in various materials, including glass, wood, and metal. As a teenager, Kelvin joined his father at the company Philip founded, producing works of both fine and functional art, including sculptured tables, mirrors, and wall-hangings. While busy working alongside his father, Kelvin also studied at the Art Students League and the Parsons School of Design, where he was influenced by the sculptor Seymour Lipton.

By the 1960s, father and son had together built a successful business and were signing their works “Philip and Kelvin LaVerne,” which they sold in galleries and showrooms around the country. Letters of thanks and appreciation from clients filled the walls of their New York showroom, first on 57th Street, and then on Greene Street in SoHo. Seymour, Kelvin’s younger and only sibling, worked with the company in sales until he died tragically in 1967, far too young.

After his father Philip died in 1987, Kelvin ran the business for another two decades. During this period, he produced mostly abstract, sculptural works. He cared lovingly and selflessly for his mother, Claire, who died in 2010 at the age of 94.

Kelvin was a stalwart of the SoHo community for decades. In the 1960s, he and his father purchased a building on Wooster Street, where Kelvin worked for more than 40 years. He loved chatting with other artists and businesspeople in the area, eating in the local restaurants, and visiting the galleries.

In 1967, Kelvin met Agatha, the love of his love, and wife of more than 50 years. They had three children and soon moved to the Upper East Side of Manhattan. They purchased a home in the community of Seaview, Fire Island, where they spent summers with their kids for many years.

Kelvin loved the arts, movies, good food, photography, interesting people, and cats. As a younger man, he traveled widely. Full of insight into many areas of life, he was creative and creating until the end. Most of all, he loved his family – his wife, children (Sean, Darren, and Simone), their spouses (Vanessa and Cathy) and three grandchildren (Samuel, Teddy, and Nathaniel), all of whom survive him. Kelvin’s spirit and legacy will continue to inspire them, and all who had the opportunity to meet him in his long life.

There will be a private service for family at King Solomon Memorial Park in Clifton, New Jersey.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Kelvin’s name to either of the following:

Raymond Glynn

Raymond Joseph Glynn, 75, of Manhattan, NY passed away peacefully on August 31, 2025.

Born in Queens and raised in Yonkers, Ray was the dear son of the late Robert A. Glynn and Sheila (Flynn) Glynn and the brother of the late Kevin R. Glynn.

Ray was an Iona Prep alumni. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Arts from Franklin & Marshall College, his Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore, and his Masters of Business Administration from Manhattan College. He built a respected career as a Patent and Trademark attorney and is a current member of the New York State Bar. Although what truly defined Ray, was his generosity, humor, and dedication to others.

For over 40 years, Ray was a devoted member of St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church. It was there that he not only gave back to his community but also formed many lasting and important friendships that meant so much to so many. He was among the first to volunteer when Crossroads Community Services was founded, serving in those early years as a shelter volunteer and delivering food for distribution to soup kitchen guests.

Ray also served at St. Bart’s as an usher and was always there to offer a friendly welcome to people at the door. Into retirement, he continued to serve the New York City area with his warmth and compassion for others in need. He was also a proud member of the New York Athletic Club.

Ray had a quick wit, a kind heart, and a gift for making people feel welcome. He was deeply devoted to his family and especially cherished being “Uncle Ray” to his nieces, nephew, and great-nieces and nephew.

He is survived by his sister-in-law, Regina Glynn, and her children, Cathy Cardew (Greg), Robert Glynn (Danielle), and Laura Cannizzaro (Scott), along with his great-nephew and nieces and his beloved companion, Holly Bellows. He will also be missed by his many cousins and countless friends who loved him dearly.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, September 12, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, 325 Park Avenue, New York, NY.

Sally Gail Hoskins

Sally Gail Hoskins

Sally Gail Hoskins, 71, of New York City and Kent, New York, passed away on July 24th, 2025 in New York, with loving family present.

Sally is survived by her brother Richard Hoskins (Christine) of Oro Valley, AZ, her niece Clea James (Cary) and their children Anneliis and Graeme of Chicago, IL, who brought her immense joy as her grand-niece and grand-nephew. She is also survived by her brother Arthur Hoskins(Sarah) and their daughter Emma. She was preceded in death by her elder brother Craig Hoskins, his wife Anne, and her parents Robert L. Hoskins and Doris M. Hoskins.

Sally was born on November 29th, 1953. She grew up in Wilmette, Illinois as one of 4 children. As the only daughter, she carved her own path pursuing lifelong interests in Music and Science. After graduating from New Trier High School, she attended the University of Illinois and completed her PhD in Biology at The University of Chicago. She then completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at Columbia University under advisor John Hildebrand from 1982-1985. There, “she did beautiful and important work…and was clearly destined for a successful career in Science,” Hildebrand shares. Her dissertation work was noted in textbooks for many years.

She embarked on a career as a Developmental Neurobiologist; her interest in the embryonic nervous system. She became a member of the biology faculty at The City College of New York until her retirement in 2019. During this time, Sally discovered her passion for teaching and science education. She developed a pioneering, powerful, and effective strategy for science education that she named CREATE. Through her unique approach, based on deep dives into actual research papers instead of textbooks, she demystified and humanized science research for undergraduate learners. Sally earned widespread acclaim in the field of STEM education, building a lengthy record of federal (NSF) grants, national workshops, seminars and publications. She inspired cohorts of science educators to innovate their teaching with CREATE methods. A legacy of her scholarship now extends across high schools, colleges, and universities throughout the US and beyond.

Throughout her career, Sally was recipient of numerous awards including The Genetics Society of America’s Elizabeth W. Jones award for Excellence in Education in 2017, the 2013 Pearson Four-Year College & University Section Research in Biology Education Award from the National Association of Biology Teachers, the 2007 and 2011 John Doctor Education Prizes from the Society for Developmental Biology, the Presidential Young Investigator award from the National Science Foundation, and a three-time winner of the CCAPP Teacher of the Year at City College. In a corresponding interview, Sally recalled discovering her love for science in seventh grade, “I just loved working with my hands and with a dissecting microscope to see what was inside – I was very captivated.”

The name of her educational strategy epitomizes what she was – a critical thinker and a true creative. In addition to her work as an educator and researcher, she was a passionate writer, crafter and maker – designing jewelry, making quilts, and creations out of numerous found objects. Her interest in writing began in high school culminating in publishing both personally and academically. She was a long-time member of a writing group for which she had great passion. She published personal work in multiple outlets including the New York Times, Science, Newsweek, and Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Visible Ink Program.

Sally’s creativity flowed through every aspect of her life, including her lifelong passion for music. Her love of choral music led her to perform with multiple ensembles, including the New Amsterdam Singers throughout her life. Her vision and leadership ultimately culminated in the creation of her own ensemble, SHE (Sally Hoskins Ensemble), which she founded, conducted, and sang with. Each performance was dedicated to supporting a different charitable cause, reflecting her belief that creativity should be accessible and a force for positive change in the world.

Sally was a nurturing friend, a beloved aunt, and was treasured dearly by those fortunate enough to know her. Her friends speak of her in the most cherished terms—as "my sister of choice," "my children's preferred mother," and "my lifelong best friend.” Her positive energy and zest for life touched everyone she encountered, creating bonds that transcended conventional friendship and became family. She was loved and valued for the extraordinary depth of her relationships, many spanning decades, each one a testament to her remarkable ability to create lasting connections.

At the time of her passing, she was finalizing a concert that is scheduled for September, 21, 2025. SHE will be performing SOUVENIR, a concert in her honor, at 4pm with a memorial service to follow at 5:30 at Christ and St. Stephens Church (120 W. 69th St., NYC). All concert proceeds will benefit the community outreach at Broadway Presbyterian Church.

Anna Miklas

We are deeply saddened to announce the death of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter, sister, wife, sister-in-law, aunt, cousin, friend, confidante, partner-in-crime, and spirited lover of life, Anna Helen Miklas. Anna suffered from Parkinson’s disease, and died of a stroke at White Plains Hospital on July 15, 2025. She was surrounded with love by family and friends in the last hours of her life.

Anna was born in Manhattan, New York on September 25, 1938 to Jan Pajerchin and Anna (Kostelny) Pajerchin. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Mildred (Pajerchin) Yetter.

Anna was a fun-loving person and a top student, testing into Hunter College High School in Manhattan. Upon graduation, she married Dusan “Donald” Miklas and subsequently gave birth to her beloved three children, Andrew, Steven and Susanne. They enjoyed many adventures throughout the years, including spending time with extended family in Canada, and camping across the United States in their motorhome. Anna became a single mom when Donald died at a young age in 1982. Eventually Anna went back to school, earning a bachelors degree from Lehman College of the City University of New York. She worked for the City of Yonkers until her retirement. True to her spirit, she continued to travel. By far, her favorite destination was Hawaii, where she initially traveled with her children and then eventually each winter with her partner Carl Wend.

Anna is survived by her children Andrew (Kelly), Steven (Lori) and Susanne (Jeff), grandchildren Chelsea (Alec), Adam, and Liam, great-granddaughter Myla, brother-in-law Gene Yetter Sr. (Mildred), nephews Gene Yetter Jr. (Janette), John Yetter and their families, beloved extended family in Canada and Slovakia, and many dear friends that meant the world to her.

In Loving Memory

We are saddened to share that our beloved mother passed away peacefully at home on Monday, July 8th. Born in 1942 in the countryside of southern Sweden, she was the daughter of a Swedish farmer and the eldest of three sisters. After serving in the Swedish military, she set out to see the world—first London, then Los Angeles, and finally New York, where she met her husband and raised her children.

She is survived by her son, Peter Orphanos, and his wife, Nicole Orphanos; her grandchildren, Katherine and Peter Orphanos, all of New York; and her daughter, Anne Marie.

She lived with quiet strength, deep patience, and an unwavering love for her family. After the passing of her husband four years ago, she and her son grew even closer, sharing time and memories that will always be cherished. She will be remembered for her resilience, warmth, and the love she gave to all who knew her.

A wake will be held Tuesday, July 16th from 6 to 8 p.m. at John Krtil Funeral Home, 70th Street and 1st Avenue. Per her wishes, there will be no formal service.

Terrence “Terry” Gibbons, 58, passed away at home, surrounded by family and friends on June 5 after a brief battle with brain cancer. Terry was born in Brooklyn and raised in Travis, Staten Island. He attended Moore Catholic and Susan Wagner high schools. Terry enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He served aboard the U.S.S. Constellation CV-64 as a Hull Technician (Naval Firefighter) from 1984-1987. Following an honorable discharge, he continued his military career in the Navy Reserve. He remained a proud patriot throughout his life. He was an active member of American Legion Post 347 Lady Lake, FL.

In 1988 Terry began working as a plumber at NY Presbyterian Hospital. In his early years at the hospital Terry earned the Good Samaritan Award. His sharp mind and attention to detail enabled him to help the hospital through historic events including 9-11, major blackouts, Super Storm Sandy, various hurricanes and everyday emergencies. He was a frontline worker through the Covid-19 pandemic. Terry spent 36 years as the “Go-To Guy” taking care of “his” hospital.

An avid outdoorsman, Terry spent most weekends off the grid camping and hiking in the mountains. He enjoyed bike riding, scuba diving and skydiving. Over the years, he and his wife Linda traveled extensively to places including Costa Rica, Cuba, Israel, Tanzania, Galápagos Islands and Mexico. They also spent many vacations hiking various parts of the U.S. including three trips to the Grand Canyon.

His love for his Irish heritage led him to obtain his Irish citizenship in 2018. One of Terry’s greatest achievements came in 2023 when he summited Mount Kilimanjaro.

Terry will be remembered for his love for Linda and his family. His humor, incredibly quick wit and storytelling abilities will surely be missed.

He is predeceased by his parents, John & Meg Gibbons. He is survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Linda, his son Kevin Gibbons-Mullen, his three sisters: Jennifer, Joann & Judith, his Mother-in-Law, Dellene, numerous sisters and brothers-in-law and his many nieces and nephews.

Obituary for Myrtle Beatrice Goodwin

Myrtle Beatrice Goodwin , RN, PhD (Bea), aged 92, of New York City, passed away peacefully on May 21 in New York City. She was born on December 15, 1932, in Nashville, Tennessee.

Dr. Goodwin earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Vanderbilt University and went on to complete her Master’s and PhD at New York University. With a profound dedication to nursing education, she became a professor and later served as Dean of Nursing at CUNY Lehman College, where she inspired generations of nursing students and helped shape the future of the profession.

Her career included work with the National League for Nursing, where she served as a member of the Board of Review for Baccalaureate and Graduate Education, through which she influenced national standards for nursing education.

In 1973, as a consultant for the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), she helped establish and develop the first nursing and midwifery education program at the Catholic University in Chile, South America.

After her retirement in 1998, she was invited to return to NYU’s College of Nursing as a professor ad honorem, where she had the opportunity to lead a Latin American project supporting the development of nursing research and education in nearly eight countries across Central and South America—a mission she continued until 2019.

Dr. Goodwin also distinguished herself through military service, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel in the United States Air Force Nurse Corps and the Air National Guard, where she served from 1960 to 1982. As a flight nurse and Chief Nurse of the Air Evacuation Unit, she participated in critical missions during the Vietnam War, including medical evacuations for wounded American soldiers in remote and high-risk environments. Her work exemplified her lifelong commitment to care, both in practice and education.

She was one of the founders and first editors of IMAGE, known today as The Journal of Nursing Scholarship.

Dr. Goodwin believed deeply in nursing as a human science. Compassion, respect for human beings, justice, freedom, and service were central to her life. She loved birds and was a devoted reader and quiet writer. In her Letter to Dear Friends on September 11, 2001, she wrote:

“…To see the smoke still rising from the hole in a skyline we all loved evokes a stillness in your soul… a stillness of profound sadness; a dam of tears held back by fierce resolve; a grief not only for the moment but for humankind and its loss of innocence, an aching desire to comfort the children who have lost parents, the parents who have lost sons and daughters, the spouses who have lost mates. It is difficult to awaken from the stillness, to what now seems trivial—yet, perhaps, important; useless—yet, perhaps, worthwhile.”

She closed:

“…Finally, we can take comfort in the realization that the tremendous good of the many has once again outweighed the tremendous evil of a few. The scale is tipped toward good. Peace and love. — Bea”

Global health became her passion. A new vision of care and humanity inspired her spirit. From 2006 to 2018, she was a member and Chair of the NGO Health Committee, which holds Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations and is associated with the Department of Public Information of the UN. She influenced and created deeper programs addressing the imperative for students and practicing health professionals to become aware of the health needs of developing and least-developed countries and the interconnectedness of all nations.

Dr. Goodwin will live on in the memories of friends, colleagues, former students, fellow nurses and family members, along with many dear ones who remember her as a compassionate leader, a human advocate, and a visionary in the field of nursing.

A funeral service will be held on June 5 from 10:00–11:30 AM at John Krtil Funeral Home, 1297 First Avenue (at 70th Street), New York, NY.

Burial will follow at 1:00 PM at Woodlawn Cemetery, 4199 Webster Avenue, Bronx, NY — Prospect Lot 20144, Section 57.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dr. Goodwin’s honor to the Sigma Theta Tau Nursing Honor Society, in support of nursing education fellowships.

In Loving Memory of Theresa Reilly Virga

January 14, 1930 – May 19, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunt, Terry, who departed this life peacefully on May 19, 2025.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Sam; her cherished children, Anthony, Arleen, and Rosario; and her dear brothers, Frank, Jack, and George. While her loss leaves a deep void, we take comfort in knowing she is reunited with them in eternal peace.

She is survived by her devoted daughter, Theresa, and her husband, Michael Cleary; and her loving son, John, and his wife, Arlene Virga. Her greatest joy came from her family, and she leaves behind a legacy of love through her grandchildren: Theresa Perkin (Tony), Nicole Cleary, AJ Virga (Caroline), Andrew Virga (Rachel), Michael Virga (Ben), Stephen O’Neill (Kate), Daniel O’Neill, Jamie O’Neill (Claire), and Shayna Cole (Mike). She was a proud great-grandmother to Elizabeth, William, Nicolas, Nathan, Henry, Vivian, and Casey. Each of them brought a special light into her life.

She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Antoinette, and many beloved nieces and nephews, whose lives she touched with warmth, laughter, and unwavering love.

Terry also leaves behind many dear friends and extended family, each of whom held a special place in her heart. Some have preceded her in death, and others remain to cherish her memory. She treasured lifelong bonds, old friends who shared her history, new friends who brought fresh light, and extended family who felt like her own. Their companionship, laughter, and steady presence were a constant source of joy. Her friendships were a beautiful reflection of the warmth, loyalty, and kindness she gave so freely to others.

Terry will be remembered for her boundless generosity, kindness, humor, feistiness, and deep devotion to her family. She filled every room with laughter, her kitchen was always open, and her love was a steady source of comfort to all who knew her.

She leaves behind a family bound together by her enduring spirit, countless memories, and the values she instilled in each generation.

She was, and always will be, the world’s best Grammy.

She will be missed dearly, loved always, and remembered forever.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in memory of Theresa Virga to one of the following organizations that reflect her values and life:

• Wounded Warrior Project – www.woundedwarriorproject.org

• National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) – www.nami.org

• St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital – www.stjude.org

Obituary for Cesar Augusto Garcia Dorantes

December 31, 1961 – May 13, 2025

With hearts heavy with sorrow, we announce the passing of Cesar Augusto Garcia Dorantes on May 13, 2025.

Born on December 31, 1961, in Mexico City, and a proud New Yorker for the past eight years, Cesar was a devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, and godfather. His gentle spirit, sharp intellect, and insatiable curiosity left an indelible mark on all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Cesar embraced life with a spirit of adventure and a heart full of hope. An avid traveler, he explored the world hand in hand with his beloved wife, dreaming of retiring together in Greece, where sunsets would paint the sky with the promise of their next chapter. His easy-going warmth and infectious optimism drew people to him effortlessly, and his friendship was a gift deeply cherished by those who knew him. To know Cesar was to know kindness, laughter, and a boundless passion for the Lord our God, his Catholic faith, rockets, finance, history, and politics—but above all, his heart belonged to his family. His love for his wife, son, brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews was boundless and unwavering.

Cesar was a man whose faith was not just spoken—it was lived. His heart belonged to God, and his spirit was anchored in the belief that there was a divine purpose guiding his path. He carried the words of Psalm 73:26 close to his heart: "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Even in the most challenging moments, his faith never wavered. He would often say, “God is with me. I am not alone.”

Cesar’s resilience was unmatched. Even through the trials of his last year, he faced each challenge with strength and dignity, never once admitting defeat. He saw obstacles not as barriers, but as hurdles he was determined to overcome. His courage inspired everyone around him, and his legacy of kindness, generosity, and relentless optimism will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Kathy Awanis Garcia ; his beloved son, Carlos ; his brothers, Felipe, Victor, Marco, and Jorge ; his sisters, Alexandra and Bebba ; his sisters and brothers-in-law, and his adored nieces and nephews, who brought him endless pride and joy. Cesar now joins in heaven his parents and his brother, who preceded him. Though his physical presence has left this world, his spirit remains deeply etched in the hearts of his family and friends.

Rest peacefully, Cesar.

Heaven’s doors have welcomed you with open arms, and the world is a little dimmer without your light.

May your soul find eternal serenity, and may your memory continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who loved you.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that contributions be made to the Catholic Charities of New York. Your generosity would honor his legacy of compassion and hope for a better world.

Francis Joseph Clarke

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 17:09:33 GMT

Francis Joseph Clarke

Francis Joseph Clarke was born in New York City on March 24, 1941. He grew up in the Highbridge section in the Bronx, the youngest of three children to Frank and Margaret McHale Clarke, both from County Mayo, Ireland. He was educated at Sacred Heart Elementary School and Cathedral Preparatory, a Minor Seminary, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. He graduated from Fordham University in 1963.

After Fordham, he joined the U.S. Navy, serving two years aboard the U.S.S. Lowry. He spent one year helping sandblast the ship in Norfolk, Va. and the second getting a chance to see different parts of the world, including ports in Europe.

Following the Navy, he took a job with the Ronald Press in Manhattan, where he met his future wife, Elizabeth Ann Slocum. They had their first date at Molly Maguire's Pub and Restaurant on St. Patrick's Day in 1967 and got married on September 14, 1968 at St Vincent Ferrer Church in New York City. They were married 56 years and were deeply devoted to each other, with Elizabeth caring for and comforting him at their apartment in Manhattan as he fought a short battle with cancer. He died peacefully in his sleep on the morning of April 1.

After living a brief time in the Bronx, Frank and Elizabeth moved to Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y. in 1970 where they raised their three sons: Andrew (born in 1969), Paul (born in 1971) and David (born in 1974).

Frank retired from a long career in the reinsurance industry in 2009. He had an incredible work ethic that was developed at a young age. He took his first job when he was around 10-years-old, sweeping out a neighborhood store. Growing up in a working class family, he held a number of after school jobs, among his favorites was as an errand boy for a local butcher, who inspired a lifelong interest in food and nutrition. At age 12, he was able to buy his family their first television set from his earnings from that job.

Curious and intelligent, he was a lifelong learner who devoured numerous newspapers each day and tuned into the PBS Newshour at night. When he began to travel more broadly once his sons were out of college, he would make the most of the trips to London and other European capitals by studying up on everything he wanted to see months in advance, occasionally writing to the travel guide authors to correct their errors.

He was also a prodigious saver, prioritizing spending money on family dinners and vacations as well as his sons’ education. He particularly enjoyed the family’s yearly trip to Martha’s Vineyard, where he had earlier honeymooned with Elizabeth. His kids got a kick out of the lengths he would go to bulk up the bank account for these activities. He cut coupons, viewed jeans as a 15-year-investment, and insisted on commuting to work in a car without air conditioning or a radio, which he considered frivolous luxuries. But he was always generous with his family and others – most importantly with his time and attention. He was an uncommonly decent man with an empathetic spirit.

In Croton, he was an active member of Holy Name of Mary Church where he served as a lector and a member of the choir. As a boy, he was an altar boy. As an adult, he often attended mass multiple times a week.

In the early 2000s, he and Elizabeth bid the suburban life goodbye and moved into an apartment in Manhattan just up the avenue from the United Nations. He was invigorated by all there was to do and took joy in even routine activities like grocery shopping at different markets as well as chamber music concerts at local churches. The neighborhood was in some ways far from the Bronx where he grew up, but also had reminders of the life his immigrant parents built for themselves and their children with the opportunities they found in America. The Con Edison plant where his father worked was only a few blocks down the street and around the corner was a brownstone where his mother worked as a maid when she first arrived from Ireland.

Along with being a loving father and husband, he was a welcoming and loving presence for his three daughters-in-law: Kristen, Jennifer and Margaret. He made each feel like a member of the family.

He was also a wonderful grandfather, or “Papa,” who took immense joy in his four grandchildren: Matt (25), Emma (23), Betsy (4) and Charlotte (18 months). He was an enthusiastic singer whose tastes ran toward old standards. As young children, Matt and Emma got a kick out of his renditions of “Top Hat, White Tie and Tails” and “I Got Shoes.” Betsy and Charlotte loved hearing him sing “Alouette, Gentille Alouette” with Betsy proudly learning the lyrics so she could sing the song back to him. All four were treated to his monkey face and learned to make it themselves while laughing.

Frank Clarke is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Slocum Clarke of Manhattan; his sons Andrew (Kristen Thomas Clarke) of Devon, Pa.; Paul (Jennifer Kotler Clarke) of Ossining, N.Y., David (Margaret Lynn Chadbourn) of Alexandria, Va.; his grandchildren Matthew of Nashville, Tenn., Emma of Philadelphia, Pa.; Elizabeth “Betsy” of Alexandria, Va. and Charlotte Frances of Alexandria, Va., and numerous nephews and nieces. He was preceded in death by his sisters Anne Bérubé and Rita Buckley.

There will be a memorial service to celebrate Frank's life at The Church of St. Vincent Ferrer, at 869 Lexington Ave (Between 65th & 66th) New York, NY 10065 on April 14th at 10am. Following the service, there will be a luncheon at Copinette located at 891 1st Ave (at 50th Street), New York, NY 10022.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Frank’s honor to the following organizations:

Maria Munive

September 8, 1951 – March 20, 2025

With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to Maria Munive, a woman who lived life on her own terms and filled every room with warmth, laughter, and love. Born on September 8, 1951, in Iguala, Mexico, Maria took a leap of faith, immigrating to the United States and building a life filled with adventure, resilience, and deep connections.

Maria met the love of her life, Cesar, in New York City in the 1970s, and together they created a beautiful family. After his passing, she faced her grief with incredible strength, coming out even stronger and proving time and again that nothing could keep her down. She was fearless in the way she lived, and she passed that strength on to her children.

More than anything, Maria loved her family, especially her grandchildren. She lived to spoil them, celebrate them, and make them feel like the most special people in the world.

Maria was also the best kind of friend…the one who would give you the shirt off her back, the one who showed up when you needed her, the one who made every moment brighter just by being there. She loved to travel. Whether she was exploring a new city or soaking in the ocean breeze, she embraced every adventure with open arms.

She is survived by her son Jason, daughter-in-law Sarah, and granddaughter Isabella; daughter Raquel, son-in-law Steve, and grandsons Elijah, Benjamin, and Isaac; and daughter Michelle and son-in-law Arthur. Her fearless spirit, boundless love, and infectious energy will live on in all who were lucky enough to know her.

Maria’s wake will be held on Friday, March 28, from 5:00–8:00 PM at John Krtil Funeral Home, 1297 1st Ave, Manhattan. A funeral mass will take place on Saturday, March 29, at 10:00 AM at The Church of St. Monica, 413 East 79th Street, Manhattan.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her honor to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

https://www.stjude.org/promotion/impact-giving-pm.html?sc_dcm=58700008005633531&sc_cid=kwp&sc_cat=b&&&&&ds_rl=1285465&ds_rl=1291300&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhYS_BhD2ARIsAJTMMQbqi44Nf25tirkK42CfCYVi-i3fGEzPAo4TFlBUQWZct9dkqQnloCoaAkK7EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds.

Rita Elsner, age 93, of New York City and Mainz, Germany, passed into eternal life on Ash
Wednesday, March 5, 2025. Rita was a devout Catholic, defender of the Catholic Faith,
defender of the unborn, and of the poor and needy. She was a dear friend, prayer partner, and
correspondent to many laypersons and religious in the United States, Germany, India, and
China. Rita was predeceased by her parents, Karl and Hedwig Elsner, her brother Karl and her
sister Monika. She is survived by her sister-in-law Gudrun and her nephew Boris in Germany.
Rita was born in Neisse, Silesia (now Nysa, Poland) in 1932 to Karl and Hedwig Elsner. She
was raised in the historic city center. Her idyllic childhood was disturbed by the rise of Nazism,
and her teenage years were ravaged by the Second World War and the invasion and eventual
partition of Silesia. Her family was part of the mass expulsion of the Silesian people when the
boundaries of Germany were redrawn and her homeland transferred to Poland. Rita and her
family were refugees of the war from 1946 until 1954. In 1954, the family secured a small
apartment in the city of Mainz, where Rita lived with her father until she emigrated to New York

City in 1960.

During her years in New York City, while working as an administrative assistant at Exxon Mobil,
Rita actively served in Father Leppich’s Catholic apostolate. Later she was extensively involved
in Catholic Evidence Guild, sidewalk counseling for the Respect Life Movement, the
Missionaries of Charity in the Bronx, and many other charitable activities. She was a daily
communicant at St. John the Evangelist Parish, living across from the Church. Rita was a street
evangelist for the Catholic faith, reaching out and engaging in conversation with persons from

every walk of life.

Rita was a devoted friend, godmother, and spiritual grandmother. She was devoted to the
Rosary and an example of perseverance in prayer. She will be missed by her many friends and
co-workers in charitable works. May she rest in peace with her loving Savior.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to one of Rita's favorite charities: The Missionaries of Charity ( https://missionariesofcharity.org ), Cardinal Kung Foundation, ( http://www.cardinalkungfoundation.org ), or the Respect Life Movement.

Masonic Funeral Service

Russell Henry James Childs

August 30, 1968 - February 24, 2025

Russell Henry James Childs (“Henry”) passed away on February 24, 2025 in New York City. Born on August 30, 1968 in Manhattan, Henry is survived by his loving fiancé Lora Franks and dog George Jefferson Childs, his children Venus and Luna Childs (Taen), his brother Edward Childs (Nancy), his sister Martha (Xavier,) his nieces Sarah Kate, Emily, Isabelle (Guillaum) Caroline (Aileen), nephews John and William, and great nephew Alfie, in addition to many cousins. Henry is predeceased by his parents, Lucy Lee Fitzgerald Gant and Theodore Quentin Childs.

Henry graduated from St Paul’s High School, Garden City and Randolph-Macon College, Ashland, Virginia. Throughout his time in Virginia, he was active in the Masonic Lodge. While New York was his home, he had a great love for the North Carolina dunes and spending time at his family’s beach house. He knew his way around a boat like a seasoned captain – he raced on International One Design Sailboats, and was also an avid fisherman. Henry could fix and build just about anything and took great enjoyment in doing so. He had a passion for going to flea markets and finding great bargains that he could restore. He was known for his ability to drive great bargains for $5.00, known in the family as “Henry Units,” where one Henry Unit = $5.

Henry fiercely loved his family and his countless friends, which he would often bring together with his love of barbeque, and all things meat-related. He was an incredible cook and loved grilling and cooking for his friends and family. He was also a KCBS Barbeque Judge.

Henry’s love of dogs was paramount, not only for his dog George who he rescued and loved dearly, but all dogs. He was a “dog whisperer” and there was never a dog – friend or stranger – that didn’t gravitate to Henry above anyone else. With that in mind, in lieu of flowers, please donate directly to: New Britain Animal Control, 642 Christian Lane, Berlin CT 06037 or fulfill a gift from their Amazon wish list. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3OD0ER7CUSQCD/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1

Private Cremation

GUERIN—Denis Christopher, 69, formerly of Muckross Rd, Killarney, Co Kerry, passed peacefully on February 20th, 2025. Born on July 9th, 1955, Denis is survived by his loving wife Marguerita, adored daughter Margaret-Anne, and much loved sisters Mary and Margaret, and brothers Patrick and Timothy, as well as brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts-in-law,

nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews, relatives, and a wide circle of friends. Pre- deceased by his loving son, Patrick-Sean, his parents Kathleen and Cornelius Guerin, and his brother Cornelius.

Having built a successful law practice in Manhattan, New York, Denis a voracious consumer of media, never failed to hold a view that was uniquely his and was certainly never afraid to share it: he loved to stir the pot and loved those who did the same. He relished his time relaxing, or traveling with his family, and conversing with people in his neighborhood. Denis was an avid golfer, cyclist, and loved walking Carl Shurz Park and Central Park, with the New York Times in his pocket. He loved spending his summers in Ireland with his wife and children in Tyrone and Kerry. But even the most mundane trip outside of these comforts, the larger-than-life character that Denis was, he could transform into an adventure.

Visitation will occur Friday, February 28th, between 4 pm and 8 pm at John Krtil Funeral Home (1297 1st Ave, New York, NY 10021). A funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 1st at 1 pm at St. Catherine of Siena (411 East 68th St, New York, NY 10065).

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Catholic Guardian Services
https://www.catholicguardian.org/givenow in memory of Denis.

Denis will be sorely missed by his wife Marguerita and daughter Margaret-Anne, the Guerin
family, the McGonnell family, and all whose lives he impacted, and his memory will always be
carried in our hearts.

Samuel C. Butler

Butler, Samuel C.

Adored husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle, colleague and friend.

Born March 10, 1930, in Logansport, Indiana to Jane Flynn and Melvin Butler. Married to Sally Thackston on June 28, 1952 until her death in October, 2023. Sally and he had three children: Sam (Susan Jett), Leigh (Don Fowley) and Elizabeth (Liz) Boissard (Chris); nine grandchildren, whom they adored and who adored them: Eliza (Jake Hudson), Mimi (Alex Minasian), Alison and Henry Butler; Nick (Derek Blasberg) and Jesse Brown (Zach Jhonk); and Maggie (Larsson Burch), Anna and Sam (Britt) Boissard; and eight great-grandchildren: Rosie, Ben and Lea Hudson; Teddy and Josephine Minasian; Grace and Noah Blasberg-Brown; and Callie Johnk. Sam is also survived by 2 sisters, Jane Kahle and Anne Hoover and their three children Katie Connor and John Kahle, and Mindy MacAnally.

Sam graduated as valedictorian from Culver Military Academy in 1947, lettering in basketball and football; from Harvard College in 1951, Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude, receiving a Sheldon Travelling Fellowship and lettering in football; from Harvard Law School 1954, magna cum laude, an editor of the Harvard Law Review, and the recipient of a Sears prize.

After clerking for Justice Sherman Minton of the United States Supreme Court and serving in the U.S. Army, he joined the New York law firm, Cravath, Swaine & Moore, in September 1956. Elected a partner in 1960, Sam served as presiding partner from 1980-98. His legal skills and sound business judgment also served him well as an elected director of several public companies. His involvement in educational and charitable activities included serving as a trustee for The New York Public Library (since 1978, Board Chairman 1999-2004); Vassar College (1969-77); the American Museum of Natural History (1989-93); The September 11th Fund (2001-04); Culver Academies (1981-2001). At Harvard, he was elected to its Board of Overseers in 1982 and served as the President of the Board for two years ending in 1988. He was also a member of several Visiting Committees, the Chairman of the Harvard College Fund, and a member of the Dean's Advisory Committee at the Law School from (1997-2011).

Over the years Sam received many awards, including the Learned Hand Human Relations Award from the American Jewish Committee; the Servant of Justice Award from The Legal Aid Society; the Lillian D. Ward Award from the Visiting Nurse Service of New York; the David T. W. McCord and Richard T. Flood '27 awards from the Harvard College Fund; the Harvard Law School Association Award; the Harvard Medal from the Harvard Alumni Association; and the Distinguished Service and the Man of the Year awards from Culver.

Most of all, he was the fearless leader of our family. Even with all his accomplishments and hours spent buried in a hardcover book, he always made time for us. Our many vacations included 3 safaris, white water rafting, the Galapagos, our National Parks, Tuscany, Hawaii and so many ski trips. He introduced us to Broadway musicals and a lifetime of their songs. Every Sunday there was a standing invitation to dinner at Lusardi’s or Chef Ho’s. We did Stave puzzles, made apple cider, ate vegetables from his garden, listened to his funny stories, and enjoyed his unique brand of mischief. The glass was always half full for Dad. He believed he could do anything he set his mind to and with the exception of mastering a foreign language (or carrying a tune) he pretty much did. And he always believed we could too. He was part of our lives for so long, and will be missed by everyone who knew him.

In lieu of flowers, the family would very much appreciate contributions to The Samuel C. Butler Historical Collections Endowment Fund at The New York Public Library, Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, New York, NY 10018. A private service will be held at the New York Public Library at a later date.

Bill grew up in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, and later divided his time between New York City and Breezy Point, NY. From the age of five, he developed a lifelong passion for hockey, playing roller and ice hockey with neighborhood friends and competing in the New York Metropolitan League, amongst others.

Bill cherished his time on the course and his many golf trips, spending countless hours perfecting his swing and enjoying the camaraderie. He also loved fishing with friends, whether on his own boat or theirs.

In his professional life, Bill found fulfillment as a realtor and broker in Breezy Point, where he built meaningful connections with clients and colleagues. He also dedicated himself to supporting others both In the Rooms and outside, offering mentorship and guidance that reflected his generous spirit.

Bill was a devoted husband to Kelly Daly for 21 years and a loving father to his children, son, William Thomas Daly Jr. and his wife Laurie Daly, and his daughter Colleen Daly-Arroyo and her husband Alberto Arroyo. He was a beloved brother to Joseph Daly and brother-in-law to Catherine and Danny Frank and Eddie and Mary Opfer.

Irene Mergl

Irene was born in January 1933 in New York Hospital to parents John and Vilma Hall who had emigrated through Ellis Island in 1927 from Czechoslovakia. They originally lived on East 73rd street but soon moved to East 71st Street only yards away from TJ Sokol New York. Irene was soon the eldest sister to Julia and Ann.

Irene attended grammar school at PS 82 and then Julia Richman High School. In 1955 she married Robert Gallagher and had two sons, Kevin and Thomas while living at First Avenue and 69th Street. Her strong Czechoslovak roots led naturally to joining TJ Sokol New York at an early age and she began her gymnastic experience. Irene became a member in 1963 and through the years held several offices including Vice President and Historian. After a divorce Irene married her soulmate Stanley in 1965. Together Irene and Stanley became a fixture in Sokol Hall and everything Sokol. Many a day and evening were spent there heavily involved in gymnastics and organizational meetings as well as up at Camp Sokol in East Haddam, Connecticut, and national and international gymnastic Slets.

Irene’s working career began at New York Hospital starting as a secretary to the Head Nurse of Pediatrics, to the Assistant to the Dean of Nursing and ended as Assistant to the Vice President of Nursing after a total of 33 years at the hospital.

Irene’s love of her Yorkville roots ran deep. She never liked hearing the neighborhood referred to as “the Upper East Side”. She passed along her knowledge and experience to her sons and she was the personal cheerleader for Kevin and Tom in their respective lives and careers. Family strength, traditions, the holidays and patriotism were instilled into her sons. Love of God, family, country and the Czechoslovakian heritage were very important to her.

Irene will be missed by all who knew her but especially her two sons, daughter-in-law, three grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Irene now joins Stanley, her sister Julia and her parents in Heaven. Thanks for everything Mom.

John Krtil Funeral Home

1297 1st Ave

New York, NY 10021

Anjali Chatterjee Saxena, Ph.D., Professor Emerita of Biology at Fairleigh Dickinson University, passed away in New York City on January 9, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Lucknow, India to a prominent West Bengal family in 1930, Anjali spent her childhood and school years with her grandparents in Lucknow and summers at Uttarpara, her father’s family estate outside of Kolkata (then Calcutta). She grew up amongst a galaxy of individuals -- freedom fighters, painters, performing artists and educators. Her parents and grandparents recognized early on that Anjali was an exceptional student and encouraged her studies. Starting in 5th grade, she rose at 5 a.m. for her private Sanskrit lesson arranged by her father. Her grandfather would drill her on Shakespeare. Her grandmother mesmerized her with tales of the Hindu deities. Her mother encouraged her love of poetry and helped her learn English.

After graduating from high school, Anjali enrolled as the only female in her science program at the University of Lucknow. There, she met her future husband Brij Saxena—they were each top of their class—with whom she shared a passion for both science and music. (Both were gifted singers and supported themselves by singing on All India Radio. Later in the US, both were integral in the Indian community’s local artistic/cultural activities.) In 1953, they married by choice, a rare occurrence at that time. She worked as a Junior Scientific Officer at the Central Drug Research Institute in Lucknow, but soon, she and her husband were both offered scholarships to doctorate programs at the University of Münster in Germany. When Anjali arrived, she didn't speak a word of German but ended up excelling in both her PhD studies and the language. After returning to India for several years, in 1962, she and her two young sons joined her husband in the US. Raising their family in Englewood, NJ, Anjali taught for over 40 years at Seton Hall University and Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey, retiring as Professor Emerita. Anjali mentored countless students and also continued research in animal behavior, endocrinology, and, most recently, magnetic resonance. Her husband became the Harold and Percy Uris Professor of Reproductive Biology at Cornell Weill/NY-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan.

Anjali was preceded in death by her husband Dr. Brij. B. Saxena, and her son Sanjeet Saxena. She is survived and mourned by her son Ranjeet Saxena; her son's daughter Jaya and her mother Beth Johnson; her daughter-in-law Rochelle and her daughters Kiara and Alika; her brother Aparajit Chattopadhyay; and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Paul Stoler

Memorial Service:

Saturday

January 18, 2025

2 PM- 4 PM

Paul Steven Stoler passed away peacefully in his sleep after a prolonged illness on Wednesday, January 8th. He was born on September 5th,1945, and was seventy-nine years of age.

Paul was a wonderful, person, a fun and loving husband, father, father-in-law, brother and, devoted grampy. A natural storyteller, he was a force of nature and commanded the attention of any room he was in. Paul had a tremendous zest for living and we traveled to many exotic and exciting cities and countries over the years. Whether he was trying to swim with the dolphins in Greece, snapping photos of the elephants in Africa, sailing across the ocean to England, or taking in the view of the desert from the top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, he made every minute of our adventures special.

He was born in Far Rockaway and grew up with his brother Richie, and cousins Gary, Linda, Bobby, and Andy, who lived nearby. He loved the beach there and we made many visits to see his ancestral home. Paul loved to fish and be anywhere near the water. We met in Amaganset over 50 years ago and have been together ever since.

He worked in the restaurant business for many years, as an owner, manager, and later as a bartender. From there, he switched to working for the Census, and then for the TSA where he became a Master Trainer, helping to ensure nothing untoward slipped onto a plane.

Paul loved spending time with his family: his brother Dan and sister-in-law Sue, his cousins Gary and Vicki, his daughter and son-in-law, Lauren and Mike, and, for the last 5 years, his granddaughter, Madison Grace, whom he loved to the moon and back. I think he was most sad that he would never see her again.

We will all miss him so much.

Lewis Ames Miller

Lewis Ames Miller, who dedicated his life to family, to elevating those less fortunate than himself, and to improving the quality of medical care worldwide, passed away at home in Manhattan on December 28, 2024. He is survived by his daughter Kathryn, his son David and daughter-in-law Nina, two grandsons and two great-grandchildren, as well as the three children and two grandchildren of his dear twin brother Sandy.

Lew was born in Brooklyn in 1928. It was there he met the love of his life, Jean (née Chandler), with whom he traveled the world and raised Dave, Kathy and several charismatic boxers. Lew and Jean settled in Darien, CT, where he was the first lay moderator of the First Congregational Church and fought for years to break down barriers to the development of affordable housing. Lew and Jean returned to New York City for their later years, and Lew was at Jean’s side when she passed away in 2015.

Lew was a proud graduate of Princeton University; the time he spent writing for the Daily Princetonian inspired a lifelong career in journalism and publishing. He maintained a strong relationship with his classmates and the larger Princeton community, serving for five years as chair of Princeton’s alumni education programs and multiple times as president of his beloved Class of ‘49.

Lew was the consummate globetrotter, travelling to all seven continents with Jean and his family and starting businesses that had presences in South America, Europe and Australia. Through one of these ventures, Lew hired a bright young Mexican engineer named Pedro Vera, starting a generation-spanning connection between Lew’s and Pedro’s families that remains strong to this day.

Lew enjoyed a varied and successful career in business. He founded the Glastonbury Citizen, a weekly local newspaper that is still thriving almost 75 years later. He later moved into medical publishing, where he founded the revolutionary physicians’ journal Patient Care, published numerous articles and a book, and started up several companies and organizations. One of his many professional highlights came in 2017, when he received a Lifetime and Distinguished Service Award from the Alliance for Continuing Education of Health Professionals, which he founded in 1975.

Eschewing a traditional retirement, Lew continued to travel and remained active in the continuing medical education field to the very end. In 2022, he founded Helping Immigrants Thrive, a New York-based charity helping undocumented immigrants become accommodated in their new home. Lew’s family remembers him for his generosity, devotion, sense of humor, wicked tennis serve, and dedication to the greater good.

Two services to celebrate Lew’s life will be held. One in New York City on February 7, 2025 at 1 pm at Christ Church NYC located at 524 Park Avenue at 60th Street and the second in Darien, CT on Saturday February 8, 2025 at 1 pm in the First Congregational Church, 14 Brookside Road, Darien CT. Receptions will follow each service in the church Parish Halls.

No flowers please. Contributions in his memory may be made to Helping Immigrants Thrive online through https://www.paypal.com/US/fundraiser/charity/4601712

John Y. Taggart

John Yeatman Taggart, a nationally known tax lawyer in his working years passed away on December 30, 2024, with his daughters by his side.

John was intelligent, humorous and goofy. He excelled in making up songs and poems spontaneously. He laughed uproariously at jokes he had told 100’s of times. He was a self-taught chef, woodworker, magician, Halloween costume maker, ballroom dancer, an insatiable music lover, and a world traveler. He loved New York City through and through.

John loved all kinds of cocktails, a little too much, as the doormen in his building can attest to. His internal filter was a tad off kilter. For such a refined man who wore an ascot on his more casual days, he could really surprise his company, and later his caregivers, with his bawdy non-sequiturs.

Born in Decatur, Illinois on March 9, 1932, he and his parents soon returned to the family farm in Delaware, Ohio to ride out the Depression. John’s bedroom was a converted porch with no heat. He excelled in school, and graduated from Ohio State University and was a lifetime fan of the Ohio State football team. He eventually earned a JD degree after 3 years of service as a navy air intelligence officer and a masters of law degree from New York University. By then he was married with children and a resident of New York City. John spent the rest of his life there (other than a short stint living in Arlington, Va. while working at the treasury department). John eventually became a citizen of France, after living there part time in his later years.

After 23 years of marriage, he and his first wife, Marilyn Harris, divorced. His second marriage to Laura Lou Meadows ended with her death after 31 years of marriage. He is survived by his sister, Virginia Anne Wilson, and by his two daughters from his first marriage, Hilary Taggart Giffin, and Cassie Yeatman Taggart, as well as his grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

John did not want a service.

In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to NY public library.

Elizabeth Josephine (Lizzy Joe) Early (née Feeney), passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 21st, 2024.

Devoted wife to Edward, loving mother to Clare (Robert), Maureen, Christine (Seamus), Tara (Andrew), Erin (Jason) and Eamon (Kate). An adoring grandmother to Kerry, Brianna, Nicholas (Sarah), RJ, Casey, Timothy, Madeline, Grace, Olivia, Catherine, Snow, Prudence and Nieve.

Lizzy was born in Drumkeerin, County Leitrim, Ireland. As a young woman she traveled by boat to America and was overwhelmed by the sight of all the cars and the hustle and bustle of NYC. She traveled this great country visiting family in Chicago, and working in Florida, before she returned to NYC and embraced the hustle and bustle. She worked in various roles as a waitress/server at Stouffers on the top of the 6’s, O’Lunney’s, the Colony and Cosmopolitan Clubs, among others. She also worked as a Home Health Aide, and as a hair assistant in Yonkers. And don’t forget raising 6 children, while taking care of her husband and home.

Lizzy loved spending time with her family at Arrowhead Lake in the Poconos and in the Irish Alps of East Durham, NY, as well as visiting her children’s homes in Long Island, Pelham and Connecticut. She was also a surrogate mom to her children’s many friends and loved welcoming them into her home and heart.

Lizzy met the love of her life, Edward (Ballygalley, Tyrone, Ireland), at the Jäeger House in Manhattan. He somehow managed to get her to propose to him and they were married at the Holy Spirit Church in the Bronx on May 6th, 1967. Their love grew over the next 57 years, while they had 6 children, added 5 spouses to those children and 13 grandchildren, with their first great-grandchild happily coming this April. Lizzy and Ed briefly retired to Woodlawn before returning to Manhattan to remain close to their children.

In Loving Memory of Caleb Lee Colwell

June 14, 1996 – November 15, 2024

It is with profound heartbreak that the family of Caleb Lee Colwell announces his passing on November 15, 2024, in Manhattan, New York. Caleb was deeply loved by all who knew him, and his absence leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of his family and friends.

Caleb grew up well-loved as a sweet and wondrous child in Minnesota, New York, and Massachusetts. He attended Assabet Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School and later earned his diploma at Brooklyn Preparatory High School, a testament to his perseverance.

A natural writer, Caleb was seldom without a notebook, capturing poetry, lyrics, and reflections. He excelled at reading, often immersing himself in books that sparked his curiosity and imagination. His artistic pursuits extended beyond words, as he explored music, photography, and modeling, where his youthful energy and creative spirit shone through.

He found joy in skateboarding, a passion that brought light to his life and a sense of connection to the world around him. Baptized at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Southborough, Massachusetts, Caleb's meaningful connection to his faith brought moments of grounding and peace throughout his life.

He leaves behind a heartbroken yet proud family, including his mother, Sally May; his sisters, Marta and Zoey; his grandmother, Marta; his aunt Elaine and her family; and his nephews, Levi, River, and Raven. Caleb is also survived by his father, Tarek; his grandfather, Philip; and a wide circle of loved ones, all of whom will hold his memory close.

May Caleb's memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him. His radiant smile, creative spirit, and gentle heart live on in the hearts of his family and friends. Caleb's life reminds us to seek beauty in small moments, cherish the connections we share, and honor the joy he brought to the world. Though his time with us was far too short, his love and light will continue to inspire all who carry his memory.

A wake to honor Caleb's life is planned for Thursday, November 21, 2024, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., at the John Krtil Funeral Home, located at 1297 1st Avenue (at 70th Street) in Manhattan, New York.

Thank you for honoring Caleb's life and supporting his family with love during this difficult time.

Theodore "Ted” Nussbaum Obituary

After a journey of 43 years together, my husband, Theodore Nussbaum passed away on Nov 3rd, at the age of 90. One ordinary morning eight months ago, he was on his way to the library, and wound up in ER and then Rehab, a few blocks from home, a million miles from his life.

Ted grew up in Rockaway Beach, and after college he was a typist in the military. Intrigued by the law and respectful of it, he went on to become an attorney, and eventually a partner in Mayer, Nussbaum, Katz & Baker, P.C. representing Atlantic Records. Years later, he opened his own practice in the industry. He wielded granular knowledge of music contracts, licensing, and royalties.

He was a humble story teller of his experiences, and focused on the influence the artist had on the music industry rather than name dropping. He told of artists’ life experiences as reflected by the times and the impact it had on their lives.

Wanting to make a difference, he volunteered as an arbitrator in Small Claims Court in NYC for 25 years to ascertain that people of limited means saw justice, and published a lively blog as “Arbitration Man.”

He was the quintessential New Yorker and master words man with worldly curiosity. He was a voracious reader, and delighted in sharing biographical aspects of obituaries and wedding announcements. Book signings and lectures at Roosevelt House captured his interest.

He loved music and would often pour himself a brandy and listen to a CD or the radio. He attributed his ability to listen to and appreciate music to a professor at Queens College.

Also in earlier years, he spent time with an old-time gardener and learned to love working the soil. He was the resident gardener at home. In time, Central Park became his garden.

Ted was a man of substance who always wore a jacket, sensible shoes, and a hat and carried a brief case. He took courses at Hunter College and basked in intellectual stimulation. He severed ties with the computer, and claimed to be the only person without a cell phone.

He was a member of the Met Mob, a group of friends who regularly met at the Metropolitan Museum for culture and conversation.

He had a collection of what he referred to as “Pocketa Pocketa” items, mostly old hand made tools. He arranged them around the perimeter of a room which then became known as Ted’s Museum. He gave personal tours of his collection, describing the craftsmanship of each item, and creating background information about the ghost user.

He will always be in the hearts of those he left behind: Anita Poll, wife; four children Larry (Ayelet) Nussbaum, Elizabeth Richer, Neil Nussbaum, Jonathan (Victoria Hoiles) Nussbaum; a brother Henry Nussbaum; grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and many loving in-laws and friends.

In lieu of flowers, please share a kindness.

Harris Jay Gallinger

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Harris Jay Gallinger, an extraordinary friend to all who knew him, on November 6th, 2024. He departed this world peacefully while receiving care at Mount Sinai Morningside in New York City, at the age of 74. Born on February 6, 1950, in New York City to the late Ruth (Kirschner) Gallinger and the late Sol Gallinger, Harris was a cherished soul whose impact will be felt for years to come.

A lifelong New Yorker, Harris grew up in the Bronx, surrounded by a vibrant working-class Jewish community, before making his home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in the late 1970s. His story is one of resilience and love, most notably demonstrated through his enduring bond with his sister, Barbara Gallinger Pensky, who bravely fought breast cancer but passed away 15 years ago. Harris’s heart always held a special place for her, as he celebrated her memory by often speaking fondly of the good times that they shared together.

As a dedicated worker of FJC Security (now known as Allied Universal Security), Harris rarely missed a day of work while assigned to the 30th Street Men's shelter, where he charmed many of his colleagues with his quick wit, kindness, and easily smile. Yet, Harris was no pushover, when challenged, he was direct and very frank with his comebacks. Harris presence on the job brighten the day of the workers and the shelter residents alike. He will be greatly missed.

Harris was preceded in death by his parents and sister, but he leaves behind seven first cousins (including Paula Pappas and Rena Taylor) and an extensive circle of friends. To all who had the pleasure of knowing him, thank you, Harris, for being an unwavering friend and a brother-like figure to his close friend, Artenkah Carswell, and many others. Your legacy of kindness and connection will live on. May you rest in peace.

Family and friends will honor Harris's life during a heartfelt graveside ceremony on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at Montefiore Cemetery. We will celebrate the beautiful life and cherished memories that we shared of our beloved Harris.

In honor of Harris's memory, the family kindly requests that instead of flowers, you consider donating to the following charities:

Francesco 'Frank' Aufiero

Francesco "Frank" Aufiero, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family, on October 29, 2024 at his Manhattan home at the age of 99.

Born in 1925 in Pagani, Italy, near Salerno, Frank was the youngest of four children in a family that had migrated from New Haven, Connecticut, back to Italy. His parents opened a tomato factory in Pagani, where Frank spent his formative years against the backdrop of World War II. In 1959 he emigrated to America, and became an integral part and co-owner of his brother's restaurant, Il Monsignore, located on East 55th Street, which quickly gained a celebrity following.

Known for his kindness, generosity and quick wit, Frank was loved by people of all ages. Frank rarely complained, never dwelled on the hard parts of life, and had a fantastic sense of humor. He loved nothing more than being with his family, especially his daughter and granddaughter, cooking and sharing meals, laughing, walking around New York City, tracking the stock market, trying new restaurants, and of course, enjoying a good plate of linguine alle vongole.

Frank was predeceased by his parents Oreste and Clelia, a brother Vincent “Jimmy” and sisters Matilde DeFelice and Rachele. Frank is survived by his adoring family: wife, Dalva, daughter, Janaina Aufiero Biolsi (Harry), granddaughter Julia, niece Jessica and grand-niece Ava, sister-in-law Elizabeth, and many beloved nieces and nephews in Italy.

The funeral will be held Monday, November 4, 2024 at St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church at 10 am.

Dana Adkins

Dana Adkins Pan, 77, died at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City on July 22, 2024, after complications from a fall and head injury precipitated by Ehrlichiosis, a deer tick disease. Adkins Pan was a well-known editor who worked many years in major publishing houses and later as a partner at Adkins & Phillips Literary Agency.

Adkins Pan was born June 30, 1947, in Akron, Ohio, to the late Travis Blair Adkins and Mae Burke Adkins. She is survived by her husband Robert O. Pan of New York City and Poughquag, N.Y.; a twin sister Dinah Adkins of Portland, Ore.; and sister-in-law Pauline M. Pan of Ann Arbor, Mich. She will be missed by many friends, cousins, and work colleagues.

Adkins Pan graduated from Revere High School in West Richfield, Ohio, in 1965, and from Miami University of Ohio, in Oxford, where she studied American literature and classics, in 1969. After attending the Radcliffe Publishing Procedures Course at Radcliffe College, Adkins Pan began her career in Boston, Mass., and later moved to New York City, where she was an editor at The Viking Press, and senior staff editor at Reader’s Digest in New York City and Pleasantville, N.Y.

Dana Adkins was the beloved wife of Robert Pan; the couple were married in New York City on Sept. 10, 1983. The Pans had no children. They spent many years in the city and at a country home in Poughquag, as well as travelling abroad and in the United States. Adkins Pan was a frequent visitor to museums, the opera, theater, and musical venues.

Her friends described her as a terrific editor, and as a kind, gentle, and generous person who loved books, the arts, people, and her pets. The latter most recently included a smooth collie Phoebe, a Havanese Anna, and two cats, a Tonkinese called Tonky, and an abandoned black cat, Inky, that she enticed in from the woods in winter.

In addition to being survived by her husband, sister, sister-in-law, and many cousins, Adkins Pan is survived by a close second cousin, Naomi Burke, recently of Citrus Heights, Calif., and now of Atlanta, Ga. The family wishes to recognize the loving help of Alfredo Santana who visited her frequently in the hospital and generously provided assistance, and a group of friends who kept Dana in their prayers, hoped for her recovery, and stayed in constant touch with the family during her illness. These include Bruce Trachtenberg of New York City, Barbara Burge of New York City and Millerton, N.Y; Beth Tondreau of New York City and Tarrytown, N.Y; Nancy Mills of Scottsville, Va.; and Maureen M. Kilroy of Akron, Ohio.

Marshall had a great work ethic, that he instilled in all of his children, and spent the majority of his career working at Borough of Manhattan Community College. Marshall worked hard to provide and show love to his family, but he also built long standing friendships with his coworkers.

Outside of work, Marshall enjoyed the company of his friends and family, and had many hobbies. From toy trains to firearms, Marshall’s interests were vast and passion filled. None of which he was more passionate about than automobiles. At a young age he worked on classic muscle cars and in his later years he enjoyed high performance speed.

Marshall took pride in his cars, like he did most things in his life. He was proud of his friends and loved to celebrate their accomplishments. He was proud of his children. Aimee, who gave birth to his first two grandsons, Kevin and Nicolas, a successful business, and later added “granddaughter “ Jenna. Erica, who is a professional ballerina, wife to her husband Craig, and mother to his first granddaughter Ruby, and Scott and Kirby, his son and daughter-in-law, that shared many of his passions.

Port Washington, NY

Donald S. Warner, Don to all his friends, passed away on March 6, 2024, in New York.

Born in Boston on March 25, 1935, to Natalie Weinbaum and Nathan Farber, Don was known, loved, and respected, for his smarts, sense of humor, stubbornness, kindness, and preternatural abilities with a martini shaker.

Don was a master bridge player, traveling nationally and internationally, and was successful in two careers. The first of these was in computers during its early days, when he spent considerable time in California and in extensive national travel, followed by finance, where he managed the assets of a select group of clients. The man believed in bonds and had the results to justify it.

Don was a proud Stuyvesant High School “pegleg,” as the alumni are known. Don's education continued at Harvard for his undergraduate degree and at Boston College for his MBA. The Boston influence stuck, rendering him a life-long Red Sox fan and member of the BLOHARDS (Beloved Loyal Order of Honorable Ancient Red Sox Die-Hard Sufferers). For a time, Don was a helpful Treasurer of the Sutton Area Community (SAC) neighborhood organization, roping his partner, later wife Liora, onto the Board as well.

Don lived most of his adult life in the Sutton area. He could be seen on a regular basis in ‘his’ spot, sipping a rob roy at the bar in Neary’s Restaurant, where a lasting friendship with Jimmy Neary was formed upon the restaurant’s founding 57 years ago. The fact that Don was able to nurse a cocktail with such exquisite patience was proof positive that he was there for the conversation and warm friendships, made and kept, and not the whiskey, particular as he was about that.

Don loved music, especially the Great American Songbook, and Broadway shows, movies, food, oysters- raw, clams- not raw, white wine, and more, provided the quality and price met his standards. Leisure that also brought him true joy included annual trips to Saratoga and weekend trips to Atlantic City. And he won in both locales, being preternaturally able in those arenas too.

In later life, Don was intent on traveling further afield, notching up half a dozen memorable, maximalist trips to Europe and China with his future wife Liora, whom he nicknamed Canary, whose singing on these trips he reveled in long past the return home. He took pride in her as a singer, and the fact that his mother had been a singer as well, and he relished the fun after-gig gatherings. St. Croix stints with his Canary hosted by dear friends were another source of annual revelry in a happy, extended last chapter, as were holiday meals with Liora’s family, which in the early days, included under-the-table shoe-hiding with his niece-in-law. No one knows which one of them started it.

Don cherished his friendships. They may have been formed in various phases of his life, on Fire Island, in the Hamptons, or elsewhere, but they stayed true and were a source of continuing enjoyment and warm memories for him. Tennis was a favorite pastime back in the day. Memories of the successful practical jokes he perpetrated on bosses of yore provided considerable mirth to anyone who heard the details of his exploits.

Don was loved dearly and is survived by his wife, Liora Green, and by his son Marc (m. Jaclyn) Warner by a prior marriage, and two grandchildren.

May Don rest in peace. And may he enjoy practical jokes, golf, good food, wine, and music, and the resumed friendships of those we’ve lost.

Sister Maureen Elizabeth O.Carm. was called to her eternal reward unexpectedly on Saturday March 9, 2024 at Mary Manning Walsh Home. She was in the 55th year of her religious life.

Marion Rita Doonan was born on June 16, 1950 in Brooklyn, NY, the first of five children born to the late Francis and Rita (nee McGuiness) Doonan. Her brother, Francis (Frank) and sister, Carol, pre-deceased her. She is survived by her brothers, Joseph and Patrick, and several nieces and nephews.

Having been a Carmelette at the Madonna Residence while in High School, and then employed as a nurse’s aide, Sr. Maureen entered the Community on September 8, 1969, professed First Vows on April 3, 1972, and Perpetual Vows on April 2, 1977. She completed an R.N. Diploma Program and received a BS in Professional Arts in 1978. She also received a Certification in Gerontological Nursing in 1988. Her Missions included Ozanam Hall (1972-1980), St. Rita’s Home (1980-1983), Marian Manor (1983-1988 and 1992-1997), Carroll Manor (1988-1990), Sacred Heart Manor (1990-1992), and Little Flower Manor (1997-1999). In 1999 she received an Obedience to Mary Manning Walsh Home where she served for the past twenty-five years, most recently as the Director of Mission Integration. In the past she held various positions including Director of Nursing, Coordinator of Nursing Services, Director of Quality Assurance, and Assistant Administrator. At various times she had also been appointed Prioress, Assistant Prioress, and Bursar.

Sr. Maureen was blessed with artistic and musical talents and played the melodica in the Community Choir. She was strong-willed and faithful as she courageously carried the cross of illness for many years, during which her love for the aged and for her Community strengthened her spirit of self-sacrifice. Years ago, Sr. Maureen Elizabeth heard the Lord whom she loved say “Take up your cross and follow Me.” Now He has taken the cross from her shoulders and exchanged it for a Crown of Glory!

STEPHEN HOLLYDAY ROSSER

Born June 29, 1954 in Danville, VA; Died January 18, 2024 in New York, NY.

Steve was the son of Aubrey J. (Buddy) Rosser and Anne Burch Plunkett Rosser, both deceased. He was the brother of Aubrey J. Rosser, Jr. (Patricia Nichols) of Altavista, VA, Philip W. Rosser of Altavista, VA, and Jonathan B. Rosser (Sanya Knight Rosser) of Merrick, NY. He was also the dear Uncle of Aubrey J. (Jay) Rosser, III (Nicole Rosser) of McLean, VA, Allison W. Rosser (Brian Kenney), of Seattle, WA, and Pierce S. Rosser, of Merrick, NY. He is survived by his great-nephews, Samuel J. Rosser and Beau W. Rosser, and great-niece, Noelle E. Rosser, all of McLean, VA, and by his sister-in-law, Donna H. Rosser, of Altavista, VA. Numerous other relatives remain to celebrate his life, including an Aunt, Lilian Rosser Moore, of Louisburg, NC and an Uncle, Charles Austin Beckett, of Richmond, VA, as well as many cousins in Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Wisconsin and New York.

Steve’s father, Buddy, was a Virginia Baptist Pastor. He and his brothers grew up in their father’s churches mainly in Roanoke and Richmond, Virginia. Later in life, while Steve was in College, he celebrated his mother, Anne, graduating from Union Theological Seminary and also becoming a Pastor. In all of his church and school settings he was exposed to wonderful and talented musicians, who instilled in him a love for music and the arts. His parents purchased a Steinway spinet piano for him when he was 9, which allowed him to daily explore and play the music he loved.

There never was a time in his life when Steve did not participate in a choir, whether in church or at school. At the University of Richmond, where he received his undergraduate degree, he sang in the Glee Club, University Choir, and Schola Cantorum. He also participated in productions of the Drama Department.

Shortly after graduating from college, Steve relocated to New York. After briefly working in banking, he began a career at CUNY, serving as Assistant to the Deputy Chancellor. Upon retirement from CUNY, he moved to Tampa, FL, where for 7 years he again worked in banking. He missed New York, however, and moved back in 2014, working at Chelsea Market Baskets for a while before beginning a new association with Apple.

Steve found joy, wherever he lived, in being a part of a quality choir. During his time in New York, he sang in the choirs of several churches, including Trinity Church (Wall Street), Calvary Church, and finally at Church of the Heavenly Rest, with whom he had a never-ending love affair. He also enjoyed serving with the Choirs of St. Ann’s Church-Bridgehampton, NY, and St. Andrew’s Church-Tampa, FL when he resided in those communities. His musical talent brought him into Pomerium and Lionheart, both outstanding early music ensembles of New York City. On occasion, he performed with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra Chorus, Collegiate Chorale, and other New York performance groups.

In his domestic life, he enjoyed keeping up with his family and friends in Virginia and elsewhere, often staying on the phone into the late hours of the night. He was a prodigious horticulturalist. He loved to have flowers and plants in or about his home, from seedlings to rescue projects. He would pay close attention to the plants he found in his frequent walks through Manhattan residential neighborhoods, and would often provide rescue if he thought they weren’t being properly cared for.

Steve’s family history and soul were definitely Virginian, however we all knew his heart was in New York. He loved every aspect of the City, as reflected in the photos he shared with us on Facebook. They demonstrated his sharp eye for New York’s existential beauty and vibrant activity. When describing the City, he frequently said, “When you want to know the story of New York, just look up.” To him, New York was a special place, from which he received such great fulfillment.

Steve’s most remarkable attribute, however, was his love of those around him. These included family, friends and associates. He learned early in life, in observing his father and mother, that the main characteristic of one’s faith should be empathy. He observed that this should be the highest virtue. Because of this understanding, he treasured sharing stories and experiences with those whom he had the privilege to know, often giving advice, whether requested or not. In all respects, however, he made sure to take all the time necessary to assure that the conversation was enjoyable and memorable,

He loved so many…..so much.

A Service of Remembrance will be held at Noon (music at 11:45 a.m.) on Saturday, February 17, 2024 at Church of the Heavenly Rest, 1085 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10128. For information, contact the Church at (212) 289-3400, ext. 214. This service will be live streamed from the Church website: heavenlyrest.org

Memorial Services are also planned for the University of Richmond, in Virginia, at Cannon Memorial Chapel and Columbarium on Saturday, April 13, 2024 at 11:00 a.m., where his remains will be inurned, and at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Tampa, Florida on Saturday, April 27, 2024 at 2:00 p.m.

For those desiring to make a donation, the family has requested consideration of Church of the Heavenly Rest.

Paul was an engineer by trade for Columbia University which aided in his love for ham radio. AC2T and AC2V were a large part of the ham radio community. Paul’s passion was to offer a tech net on Tuesday evenings to educate hams. AC2T offered weekly testing for the ARRL for new hams to get their license as-well as countless upgrades. Regardless of all the awards he received and 1000s of QSL cards from speaking to hams all over the world he would say the best part is the conversation.

Ellen Kieran Hagan was born in the tiny village of Drumass, Inniskeen, County Monaghan, Ireland on September 28th, 1920. She was the daughter of Rose and Michael Kieran and one of seven children. She grew up in a two room Irish cottage and worked alongside her family on their farm. It was there that she was first instilled with the virtues and dignity to be found in hard and honest work, virtues that stayed with her throughout her long life.

At the age of 19, word came from America that her beloved Aunt Mary Breen, who emigrated from Ireland earlier, had saved enough money to sponsor one of the Kieran children to take up a new life with her in New York. Despite her love for home, Ellen eagerly embraced the opportunity. She later recalled being told that the streets of New York were paved with gold and the young girls were all attired in silk dresses. And so she said a melancholy but confident farewell to Inniskeen and followed in the footsteps of so many before her in sailing “across the broad Atlantic” to the shores of America.

Ellen quickly acclimated to her exciting new life on the West Side of Manhattan and loved to attend the Irish dances that were so prevalent then. But she soon discovered that no gold bricks were to be found on the streets of the City and so she found employment as a cashier in the Schrafft’s restaurant chain. There she put to good use her lifelong skill at managing money. Her sharp brain was always a good match for even the most modern computer!

It was at Schrafft’s that she soon caught the eye of a fellow employee. John Hagan was a handsome red-haired Irishman, himself the child of Irish immigrants. The romance soon blossomed and they were wed on June 11th, 1949.

John and Ellen settled down on East 76th Street in Manhattan, eventually bringing with them Ellen’s beloved Aunt Mary, who she was lovingly devoted to until her passing in 1966. Their family grew to include their two sons and a daughter, making for a very happy life indeed.

Sadly, in 1968 tragedy struck with John’s sudden and unexpected passing at the age of 46. Despite her devastation, Ellen’s deeply religious faith never wavered, and she prayed to find a way to somehow carry on her life. Shortly thereafter, that way came when she was offered the opportunity to work for the Parish of Saint Jean Baptiste. She was employed first in the office of Saint Anne’s Shrine and later as the Parish Secretary, a position she held with great pride until retiring (with some measure of hesitation) at age 95. She cherished her wonderful relationship with the Saint Jean Baptiste Parish Community, where she attained iconic status and where she will always be loved and admired.

In her legendary career as Parish Secretary, Ellen had the honor of meeting such celebrities as former President Nixon, former Prime Minister Tony Blair, the singer Bono, her dear friend Cardinal O’Connor, and so many famous celebrities from around the world. She also would be visited daily by the hungry and destitute seeking assistance from the hardships of life. No matter their station in life, Ellen treated everyone she met with the same dignity and respect. She neither bowed down to anyone nor looked down on anyone, and she had no use for arrogance or pretense.

Ellen was predeceased by her beloved husband, parents and siblings. Left to cherish her memory are her children, John, Edward (Karen) and Roseanne Hagan-Laverty (Patrick); her grandchildren, Daniel Hagan, Erin McNamara (Patrick) and Eileen Laverty, and her many nieces, nephews, and their families, in America, Ireland and England.

In lieu of flowers, Ellen would have greatly appreciated contributions to her beloved Shrine of Saint Anne at Saint Jean Baptiste Church.

Odette Warder (1981-2023), actress, model and recovery advocate

Odette Warder, 42, entered into God’s throne room on Sunday November 12, 2023. Odette, the most devoted and loving wife is survived by her husband Jean-Pierre; mother Odette; brother Barry; sisters Mandy, Samantha and Tanya; and her faithful dog Ash.

Odette grew up on the South Africa's subtropical coast of KwaZulu-Natal. She was of Italian/Sicilian-

Dutch and English descent. Fluent in both English and Afrikaans.

Odette's life was a fascinating one, a clear demonstration of strength and perseverance. She has
overcome many challenges throughout her life. The coma she was in at the age of 16 was the one
with the most lasting influence on her life. Odette was left handicapped and unable to speak when
she awoke. She started a long and strenuous recovery program of almost nineteen months. Many

doctors and people from around the world were stunned by her miraculous recovery.

Odette wrote Poison Rose, an inspirational book of her key challenges in her life that she overcame
with the help and guidance of Almighty God. Her simple message “Each one of us experience our
own personal struggles in our everyday life in one way, or the other. It is about your attitude towards
circumstances that matter the most. Remaining positive and making the best of what you have at
this present moment. No matter how great the situation is. How serious the medical problem is, or
how negative the medical facts are. Remember that miracles do happen and sometimes these

miracles are not quite understood by man.”

Odette was creative and talented in many areas. Even the camera caught her eye, she developed a
zeal for the camera growing up in South Africa with over 28 years modeling experience in United

States of America, England, New Zealand, and South Africa.

The TV & Film Industry approached her in 2009 and since been cast on various large budget and
independent projects. Odette also loved working behind the camera in film production, creating a

masterpiece…

Odette was a Teetotaler and advocate for millions of people battling and recovering from alcohol
addiction. She helped, motivated, and supported people in Recovery and was a pillar of hope,

support, and encouragement for those battling addiction.

Odette lived by the maxim "Live as if you would die tomorrow; believe as if you were to live forever."
Her energy and spirit will live on in us, and we will forever be grateful for her presence in our lives.

Odette made the world a better place for her having been here.

What did Odette teach us? That it's important forgive quickly and be kind, to others and ourselves;
know that we are all doing the best that we can. Cultivate gratitude; try to be of service and
generous. Know that your death is real and coming at blinding speed, so stop struggling to hold onto

the intrinsically ephemeral and let go, relax, and remember to enjoy today.

Odette will never be forgotten and she leaves behind a bunch of family and friends who are better off
because of her influence.

Funeral Mass:

Regis High School

55 E84th St

New York, NY 10028

Private Cremation

Gerard F. Rubin, who worked as an executive at W.R. Grace & Co. before spinning off its Jones Apparel division to create the Jones Apparel Group in 1975, where he was co-owner and President and oversaw its growth and development as the well-known brand Jones New York, died peacefully in New York City on October 24, 2023. He was 91.

Known by family and friends as Jerry or “Ace,” (and, more affectionately – especially by his 11 grandchildren – as “Skipper”), Jerry was born in New York City on June 6, 1932, to Murray Avram Rubin and Katherine Burns Rubin. He and his three brothers were raised in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. Jerry graduated from Regis High School in Manhattan, a Roman Catholic Jesuit high school, where he was a standout basketball player, and then studied at St. Peter’s College in Jersey City before being drafted into the Army, where he served in France for two years. Upon returning to the U.S., Jerry enrolled at Spring Hill College in Mobile, AL, also a Jesuit institution, where he majored in accounting, played on the basketball team, and graduated Magna Cum Laude. He began his business career at Montgomery Ward; while working there, he earned an MBA from New York University.

Jerry consistently credited his Jesuit education for instilling in him an undying religious faith, critical thinking skills, strong morals and ethics, and a dedication to service for those less fortunate. His devotion to both Regis High School and Spring Hill College was evident in the sustained fund-raising efforts and other volunteer activities he engaged in on behalf of both institutions throughout his entire life; at Spring Hill, he served on the Board of Directors for twenty-five years, including eleven years as Chairman of the Board, after which he was a Trustee Emeritus. Spring Hill named a dormitory on its campus in honor of Jerry and in 1998 awarded him an honorary Doctor of Laws.

It was while at Spring Hill that Jerry met his first wife, Elizabeth Williams. They were married and had eight children, whom they raised in Deal and Rumson, New Jersey. The marriage ended in divorce.

In 2014, Jerry married his longtime love Kaye Karch, who as a devoted and loving wife helped Jerry remain active and ever-young at heart.

In addition to his work supporting Regis High School and Spring Hill College, Jerry volunteered his time, talent, and skills for many other causes and at many other organizations, including the local Archcare nursing home Mary Manning Walsh, where he attended daily mass in the chapel.

Jerry’s enthusiasm, vigor, love of life, and warm, indomitable spirit were a treasure to all who knew and cherished him. He had a deep affinity and love for the ocean, where he spent many mornings strolling the boardwalk in Long Branch, NJ, and was an avid walker, logging mile after mile on the trails throughout Central Park. His most profound and enduring love, though, always remained his family — love for his wife, his brothers, his children, and his grandchildren. He will be missed dearly.

As a beloved father, husband, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, he is survived by his wife Kaye Karch, his children Kathleen, Stacy (Nancy McGinley), Elise, Chrissy, Justin (Tara), and Liz (Jacques Joubert), son-in-law Barry Wallach, his 11 grandchildren (Gregory, Emily, Lindsey, Leo, Luca, Elia, Grace, Annabel, Elle, Cole, and Luc), and his brother Jack. He was predeceased by his son Greg and his daughter Carolyn, and by his brothers Ed and Bob, who all undoubtedly welcomed him through the gates of heaven, along with his closest friends.

A mass of Christian burial will be held on Saturday, October 28, 2023, in the chapel at Regis High School, 55 E. 84th Street, New York, NY, with a reception to follow at Bottega Restaurant, 1331 2nd Avenue, New York, NY. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Little City, Attn: Tina Maraccini, 1610 Colonial Parkway, Inverness, IL 60067 or the Pink Promises Fund at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation at BCRF.org .

Anne Rose Shanahan passed away peacefully on September 5, 2023, at the age of 92, in the city she loved, New York.

Anne was born to Thomas J. Shanahan and Anne Rose (née Burke) Shanahan in Brooklyn, NY. Anne was a scholar, a gifted artist, a beloved sister, aunt and an avid birdwatcher. She spent her early years as a teacher at both Marymount Academy and Marymount College in Tarrytown, New York. As an educator, she was beloved by her students. Her subtle humor lightened the every day. Her lectures were presented seemingly extemporaneously, as she never resorted to notes. An accomplished academic, Anne spent a year studying theology at Regina Mundi in Rome. She also received a doctorate in History and a master's degree in theology.

After history, Anne’s true passion was nature. She was happiest amongst the bird watchers of Central Park photographing the birds, butterflies, flowers, and fauna. Her photographs were featured in multiple publications and exhibited at the Museum of Natural History and the New York University Institute of Fine Arts.

She will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by her family and friends.

Father William Alexander Holt died suddenly in Ireland, one day after concelebrating the wedding of a family member of the late Fr. John McGuire, O.P. He is survived by his sisters, Kathleen McGurk, Michelle Holt Wyatt, and Maureen E. Frain, and his brothers Robert M. Holt, Thomas J. Holt, Michael B. Holt, and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Father Holt was born in Jersey City, NJ on December 18, 1941, the oldest of seven children of William Alexander and Grace Marie (née Donohue) Holt. He attended grade school at St. Peter’s and St. Joseph’s schools in Jersey City and first met Dominicans attending Dominican Camp in Staatsburg, New York. In 1959, he graduated from St. Michael’s High School in Jersey City. After a couple of years working in New York City, he entered the novitiate of the Dominican Province of St. Joseph in Somerset, OH as a cooperator brother, and making his first profession on November 27, 1962. During his time as cooperator brother, he had the religious name Bonaventure.

He was then assigned to the Dominican House of Studies, where he worked in the laundry until 1964, when he became the procurator’s secretary. In 1966, he joined the province’s mission in Chimbote, Peru, where he ran a retreat house and served as the community’s procurator. In 1968 he returned to the United States to enroll as a student, first at Providence College, and from 1969-71 at St. Stephen’s College in Dover, MA.

After returning for a year to the cooperator brothers’ community at the Dominican House of Studies, Brother Bonaventure determined that his vocation was really to the priesthood. He withdrew from the Order and enrolled at the Pope John XXIII Seminary in Weston, MA for the Diocese of Norwich. After four years of study there, he was ordained to the priesthood at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Norwich, CT, by Most Reverend Daniel P. Reilly, on May 8, 1976.

Father Holt served as a priest of Norwich, first as parochial vicar at St. Mary’s Church in New London, CT, from 1976 to 1978 and then at St. Bernard’s Church in Rockville, CT from 1978 to 1982.

Desiring to return to the Order, Father Holt was accepted to the novitiate at St. Stephen’s Priory in Dover, MA, and made simple profession on August 15, 1982. He was assigned for parochial ministry to Holy Name Church in Philadelphia from 1982 to 1984, to St. Catherine of Siena Priory in New York City for hospital ministry from 1984-1985, and finally to nearby St. Vincent Ferrer Priory as Assistant Director of Development for the province. There, he made solemn profession on August 15, 1985.

In 1986, Father Holt was made director of Dominican Camp, then in operation for seventy-five years, to oversee the final year of its operation. In 1988, he was assigned as parochial vicar to St. Gertrude Priory in Cincinnati, and in 1992 to Sacred Heart Priory in his native Jersey City. He returned to St. Gertrude in 1993, where he was elected prior and appointed pastor in 1997.

In 1999, Father Holt was sent to St. Mary Priory in New Haven, CT, to be director of the Shrine of the Infant of Prague. He was subsequently elected prior and appointed pastor there in 2001. In 2008, he was elected prior of St. Vincent Ferrer Priory in New York City, and in 2011 was appointed as pastor at Holy Innocents Church in Pleasantville, NY. He returned to New Haven to assist the ministry of St. Mary Priory in 2015, and finally to St. Vincent Ferrer Priory in 2017 where he undertook the project of, as he said, making his old age pleasing to God.

Father Holt had the gift of speaking wisdom entertainingly: “helpful hints from Holt” were a standard feature of his conversations with brothers in formation. He had a habit of engaging people passing by his door; as he said in an interview for America magazine (October 6, 2022), “I stand on the porch and I meet the world. …I want (people) to come into church. …They have to experience silence in church….Silence taught me to listen, because I’m a great talker. I would talk the handle off that door. But silence is a great thing.”

Father Holt’s body will be received at the Dominican church of St. Mary in Claddagh, Galway, near where he passed away, on Saturday, September 16, with a requiem Mass celebrated by Rev. Pat Lucey, O.P. After his casket is returned to the United States, his body will be received at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer at 4:00pm on September 21. The Office of the Dead will be prayed that evening and the following morning. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00am September 22 with Very Rev. Allen Moran, O.P., prior provincial, presiding and Rev. James Quigley, O.P. preaching the homily. Following this funeral Mass, his body will be buried in the Dominican section of All Souls’ Cemetery in Pleasantville, New York.

Isabelle Anne Marie Cazeaux, 24 February 1926 (New York) – 13 September 2023 (New York)

Franco-American musicologist and violinist

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of the twentieth century’s most significant musicologists and pedagogues, our dear and venerated professor, Dr. Isabelle Cazeaux. Dr. Cazeaux was born and died in New York, attended the High School of Music and Art and entered Hunter College at 15. She continued at Smith College for her Master of Music degree (1946), working with Alfred Einstein, and then at Columbia University, where she earned her Master of Library Science degree (1959), and her PhD under Paul Henry Lang, graduating in 1961. In France, she studied Paleography at the École Nationale des Chartes under Alain de Bouard and at the École pratique des Hautes-Études with Solange Corbin; at the Sorbonne, her musicology studies were mentored by Paul-Marie Masson.

An intellectual powerhouse capable of guiding research from the earliest centuries until the modern age, her research focused chiefly on the early centuries of French music, resulting in a monumental dissertation on Claudin de Sermisy. Her subsequent French Music of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries (Praeger, 1975) became, for many years, the gold standard for research in this arena. Dr. Cazeaux taught for several decades at the Manhattan School of Music and simultaneously at Bryn Mawr College, where she taught for 29 years to eventually chair the Music Department.

Little known as a violinist, Dr. Cazeaux studied at the Paris Conservatoire with Yvonne Astruc, and in the United States with Anselme Fortier (New York Philharmonic), Ivan Galamian (Juilliard) and Nicolas Averino (Boston Symphony). She enjoys the distinction of having performed Rachmaninov’s Vocalise for the composer. Further studies ensued: piano with Kyriena Ziloti, voice with Marguerite Babaïan and composition with Alexei Haieff.

An abiding friend and devoted mentor, she nurtured the research and careers of Paul-André Bempéchat, Alexander Blachly, Stephen Bonime, Jeff Dailey, Tula Giannini, Christopher Gibbs, Margaret Ross Griffel, Michael Griffel, Sylvia Kahan, Rabbi Daniel Katz, the late Hiroko Kishimoto, Sally C. Park, the late Virginia Raad, Susan Shields, George Stauffer, and the late Charles W. White. Her legacy will enrich the generations; she will be sorely missed.

Que l’on célèbre ses ouvrages, Let her works be feted:

Au-delà des temps et des âges, Beyond time and the ages;

Au-delà de l’éternité. Transcending into Eternity.

- Racine

Ronald John Fagan

Aug 29, 1935 – Aug 5, 2023

Ronald Fagan passed away on August 5th at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City, his home of more than fifty years. Ronald was an original – a true global citizen. Born in 1935 in Montreal, he was educated at McGill University and Sciences Politiques in Paris. Ronald was a career diplomat in the Canadian Foreign Service and acted for many years as senior advisor in the office of the Secretary General of the United Nations. He had a passion for history, politics, art, and his extended family who visited him often. A trip to New York was not complete without an afternoon at a gallery or museum in Ronald’s effervescent presence. In the early 1970’s he introduced the iconic Chelsea Hotel to his friend Leonard Cohen, who went on to immortalize it in song. Ronald saw New York as a “city of ideas” and the epicentre of important cultural movements. That special energy inspired him to his final days. Ronald was predeceased by his sister Nan Shannon, his brother Graham Fagan and his nephew David Shannon. He will be dearly missed by the Shannon, Sullivan and Fagan families, especially his nephews, Craig Shannon (Kristin), Donnie Shannon (Celia), Christopher Shannon (Hilary) and John Shannon (Christine, dec.) and his cousins Lynne (Bill), Anne (Peter), and Cassie (Al). Donations to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York ( https://engage.metmuseum.org ) or the Museum of Contemporary Art in Montreal ( macm.org ) would be appreciated.

Arden D Down

Arden D Down

Born Arden de Martini, daughter of Marian and Albert de Martini, Arden Down was a third generation San Franciscan. She lived in San Francisco until she was six years old when she moved to the Peninsula and lived in Atherton for many years. She attended Castilleja School for Girls in Palo Alto for primary and secondary education and two years at UC Berkeley where she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and an active volunteer - something that became a lifelong passion.

Marrying young, she, her husband and 2 precious children lived on nine bases in the US, France and Germany in the 4 years her husband was in the Air Force before settling in Palo Alto. Arden joined The Junior League of San Francisco in 1962 and then the Junior League of Palo Alto. Volunteering in the Ravenswood Elementary School, she recruited, trained, and managed volunteers working in classrooms under the supervision of teachers. Eventually, there were 81 volunteers helping children with reading and other skills where they were challenged. She was invited by Foothill College to develop a day-long program called Volunteers in Education Workshop highlighting the multiple ways volunteers could serve in classrooms. Educators from around the country came to speak to the 400 educators and parents who attended. This led to a similar event at the College of San Mateo as well as a state-wide campaign and a change in the law making it legal to use volunteers in classrooms.

While actively volunteering in East Palo Alto, Arden became involved in Counterpart, created by Hewlett & Packard, that for every community initiative formed there would be 2 co-chairs, one Black and one White. Although there was a Boys’ Club, there was no recreational programs for girls after school. Canvasing the community to determine if parents supported the idea for a Girls’ Club, she and her co-chair initiated the process of founding and funding the Girls’ Club of the Mid-Peninsula. After proving they could raise money, they submitted a grant proposal and the Girls Club was then established and funded by United Way. Arden was also active in the Peninsula Volunteers. In 1971 she returned to college (this time Stanford) to complete her undergraduate degree and earn her master’s in Psychology. She later was licensed in California as a Marriage Family Child Therapist and worked in that profession until her move to New York in 1980.

In New York, Arden joined the American Management Associations as a Training and Development Specialist delivering and designing 3-to-5-day management training programs. Then, she worked as a management consultant on assignments for corporations including The Equitable, Dupont, IBM, and the American Management Associations in the U.S. and abroad. Returning to school again, Arden became a Certified Financial Planner. She joined Cigna Individual Financial Services as a Financial Consultant developing comprehensive financial plans for business owners and professionals. In 1986, Manufacturers Hanover Trust recruited her to head up their retail financial planning unit. She was employed by Manufacturers Hanover, Chemical Bank, and Chase Manhattan Bank during their mergers.

By today’s standards, Arden was late to start experiencing the joy of travel. Initially she went on budget trips – the first to India and Nepal, then camping trips to New Guinea and Thailand. Eventually she had visited more that 80 countries; a favorite was Botswana though camping in the Amazon Forest was also very special. As an officer of a Bank, she divided her 4 weeks of vacation between traveling the world and visiting family.

Until year-end 1999, Arden directed investment advisory and financial planning services, selecting and helping to develop the software used each for the private bank, high net worth, and retail bank clients. She also managed retirement and insurance products for Chase Investment Services Group, a subsidiary of Chase Manhattan Bank. She was the editor of the weekly internal investment newsletter “Investment Insight” and a founding member of the CISC Investment Policy Committee.

In 2000, she completed a trip to Bosnia with Catholic Relief Services and on her return was invited to give presentations on her experience and observations on the devastating effects of the war in former Yugoslavia.

Arden’s articles have been published by Warren, Gorham & Lamont in the Journal of Compensation and Benefits and in Personal Financial Planning along with articles that appeared in the American Management Associations publications. She was a member of the CFP Board’s 1996 National Advisory Council on Financial Planning, and she served as an officer on the board of the New York Chapter of the Financial Planning Association. In addition, Arden was the 2011 winner of New York Women’s Agenda Galaxy Award in recognition of her inspirational work for the Women of New York City.

Arden is survived by her son Eric Down, daughter Julie Down, Eric’s wife Mary Kay, her three grandchildren Kate Down (wife of Brendan Morton), Nancy Down, Brian Down, and two great grandsons – Will and George Morton.

In Loving Memory: Jacqueline (Migliardi) Mahon (1932-2023)

Jacqueline (Migliardi) Mahon, a beloved and devoted resident of the vibrant East 74th Street in New York City, peacefully passed away at the age of 91. Born in New York City in 1932, Jacqueline lived her entire life on the same block, witnessing the transformation of her Upper East Side neighborhood over the decades. Her legacy is one of unwavering love and commitment to her family, and her constant presence will be deeply missed.

She leaves behind two loving sons, John Mahon and Kenneth Mahon, who were the center of her world. As a grandmother, she cared for her four grandchildren, John, Caitlin, Megan, and Emily, always concerned about their welfare and enjoyed hearing about their latest adventures.

Jacqueline's professional journey was marked by diverse experiences that reflected her curiosity and dedication to helping others. She found fulfillment working in a school library. Later, she ventured into a few local retail stores and in particular enjoyed working in a thrift shop for many years, bringing her warmth and charm to the neighborhood residents.

While she cherished her close-knit family and dear friends, Jacqueline found solace and tranquility in the familiar surroundings of her neighborhood. She was content staying close to home, appreciating the sense of community that enveloped her. However, when the opportunity arose, she delighted in embarking on trips to the picturesque Catskill Mountains with her family. Surrounded by nature's beauty, Jacqueline cherished these moments of togetherness, creating memories that will be treasured by all who were fortunate to join her on these adventures.

Among Jacqueline's most cherished companions were her beloved cats. Their playful antics and unconditional love brought her immeasurable joy and comfort throughout her life.

Today, as we bid farewell to Jacqueline (Migliardi) Mahon, we honor the remarkable life she lived—one dedicated to family, friendship, and the simple pleasures that brought her happiness. Her love and devotion will forever reside in the hearts of her sons, grandchildren, extended family, and close friends whose lives she touched.

Jacqueline's legacy will continue to inspire us to prioritize our loved ones. As we mourn her loss, let us also celebrate her life by carrying forward her unwavering commitment to family and her capacity to love and help all those who were close to her.

May Jacqueline (Migliardi) Mahon find eternal peace, surrounded by the love and warmth that she shared with others throughout her remarkable journey.

Flowers are welcome and other contributions can be sent to the ASPCA

Vesna G. Sutija, PhD

March 22, 1939 – May 14, 2023

Vesna Grudzinski Sutija passed away Sunday, May 14th, after a long illness, having been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2015.

Vesna was born in Prelog, Yugoslavia, the daughter of Dr. Alexander Grudzinski, a medical doctor and surgeon, and his wife Mathilde née Vindis. She grew up in Varazdin, where her father was head of the local children’s clinic, and was an accomplished athlete, winning third place in high jump at the 1956 Croatian Junior Track & Field championships. Together with her parents and younger sister Tanya, Vesna emigrated to the US in August 1958. Just over a year later, she matriculated at NYU and finished her B.A. in Psychology with a minor in English in 1962, the same year that she married and gave birth to her son, Davor.

She started graduate work in Psychology soon thereafter, but had a five year hiatus, while she lived in Venezuela and Chile, where her husband George Sutija worked for the Ford Foundation. In Venezuela, she did research with Gunnar Svaetichin, working on intercellular recordings from retinal neurons, a field she would pursue later in her scientific career. On returning to the US, she completed her PhD at NYU in 1975, and continued working in neurophysiology during three separate post-doctoral appointments, at Bascom-Palmer Eye Institute, the University of Miami, and at Hunter College. In 1984, Dr. Sutija was appointed Assistant Research Professor at SUNY College of Optometry and promoted to a tenure-track position in 1988.

Her passion was always vision research and she got the greatest joy out of teaching students and imbuing them with her love of the subject. After she left the field, she became Director of Research at NJ Medical Center, and for nine years at Methodist Hospital, Brooklyn, a teaching hospital where she had joint appointments in the Departments of Pediatrics and Obstetrics/Gynechology.

Vesna had a keen interest in literature and the theatre, regularly attending readings at the 92NY’s Unterberg Poetry Center and performances at Lincoln Center Theater. She was a published poet and the author of a semi-biographical novel, Costly Illusions, which was published after her retirement. In Miami, she sang in the choral ensemble at the University of Miami, appearing with the choir at Carnegie Hall.

She loved being surrounded by her friends, family, and co-workers, and often threw dinner parties, which combined home-cooked Croatian food with stimulating intellectual discussions.

She is survived by her son Davor Sutija, her daughter-in-law Unni Byrkjeland, her sister Tanya Bruck, her niece Natasha Bruck, and three grandchildren, Karina, Astrid, and Henrik Sutija.

A viewing will be held at John Krtil Funeral Home, 1297 1st Avenue, from 4pm-7pm, on Thursday, May 25th 2023, followed by a funeral mass at Our Lady of Good Counsel Roman Catholic Church, 230 E. 90th Street, at 10am on Friday May 26th, 2023.

Joan F. Ryan, AKA Mom, Gma, JR, Sherlock Joan, Aunt and Friend, passed away on February 24, 2023 surrounded by family after a brief transition to at home support with Calvary Hospice Care. Joan was the epitome of a life well lived. She loved adventure, travel, trips to Atlantic City, playing Pokeno, trying new restaurants, the theater, dancing, but most of all her family and friends. She prayed each day to God, Mother Mary and multiple saints for everyone she loved. Joan derived great pleasure from cooking and watching people eat her delicious meals and baked goods, especially her renowned Irish Soda Bread! She loved seeing her balcony filled with flowers in Spring and Summer, especially orange and coral ones. She opened her home and heart to all.

The last five years were a challenge, but Joan was very determined and a strong warrior. She led by example and maintained dignity throughout all her health setbacks. She taught us how to celebrate life each day, laugh each day and live life to the fullest.

Her request was in lieu of flowers to donate to the restoration of “The Great Doors” at St. Joseph Church, celebrating the 150th Anniversary

On February 15th Florence Catherine Lund (September 29,1948- February 15, 2023) passed from this life. Florence was born and raised in Yorkville on the east side of Manhattan. The beloved daughter of Augustino and Jane Casella. Florence was the oldest of five children, the only girl and beloved sister of Fr. David ( predeceased) Stephen (predeceased) ,Michael (and sister in law Linda )and Joseph. Florence was a beloved sister in law to Helene (predeceased) and Marlene. Florence was a loving Aunt to Matthew, Katie and Jack. Florence began to date the love of her life and soul mate Ernest Lund (predeceased) when they were 16. Florence and Ernie built quite the life together. They welcomed four children into the world. Christopher, Susan, Andrea and Andrew wanted for nothing as their parents loved them unconditionally and were loving role models. Florence was the rock on which her family was built. She set aside her own career in nursing to stay home and raise her four children.

Florence was a shining example for her children on what love is. Family was everything to Florence. As her children grew and fell in love, Florence welcomed her sons and daughters in law ( Tim, Jen, Kelby and Sam) as her own. They felt Florence’s unconditional love. She took care of everyone; her mother when she battled lung cancer. Her father in law when he suffered a life altering stroke. Most recently her beloved brother Stephen when their father passed away. Mom cared for Stephen until her own illness made this no longer possible. Florence’s greatest joy in life was being the Grandmother to 11 amazing children. Christopher, Brendan, Aiden, Grace, Sean, Sophia, Kristen, Elizabeth, Caroline, Julie and Jude all know how very loved they were by Grandma. She loved every moment she spent with them most especially at her favorite place on earth, Long Beach Island. Many summers were spent in Florence’s happy place where long lasting memories of love were made. Florence will be missed beyond belief, but her children, sons and daughters in law, grandchildren and family will carry on her legacy of love.

Rest well Florence you, above all, have earned your peace.

New York, NY 10021

Jane Muller, née Gillen, passed away peacefully at home in New York City on December 23rd, 2022. Born on October 14, 1948 and raised in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Jane attended the State University of New York College at Cortland, where she studied dance and physical education. Inspired to share her love of dance and movement with others, she pursued a master’s degree at Teachers College, Columbia University and went on to teach at Mamaroneck High School.

Jane was a deeply devoted mother and grandmother and loved nothing more than spending time with her family. Holidays and family visits were always grand celebrations, marked by meticulously crafted multi-course meals and artful table settings. Jane’s passion for cooking was one of her favorite ways to care for others and it was an endeavor she pursued with enormous dedication. She traveled to study with some of the world’s most renowned chefs and regularly took classes at the Institute for Culinary Education in New York City.

The enthusiasm with which Jane navigated the world never diminished throughout her life. At once extremely elegant and hilariously irreverent, Jane welcomed opportunities to try new experiences and could find humor in any situation.

Jane was preceded in death by her parents, Leo Gillen and Angela McCauley Gillen, and her husband, Edward M. Muller. She is survived by brothers Peter and William Gillen, daughters Gwyneth Muller and Lara Estep, and grandson Harrison Estep–all of whom will miss her dearly.

Private Cremation/Cremación privada

John de Jesús Cifuentes Montoya died peacefully at home on November 11, 2022 with his beloved wife Pamela A. Danesi by his side. To all who knew him, he was a wonderfully kindhearted and generous man with a passion for social justice, empathy for those in need, and a lifelong love of teaching and learning. John was a great conversationalist, and would love to regale family and friends with long stories rich in detail from his past. He was a man of faith whose life was shaped by love of family.

John was born on December 15, 1935 in the remote rural village of Abriaquí, Antioquia, Colombia high in the Andes mountains. He grew up in the neighboring town of Caicedo where his parents, Jesús M.Cifuentes and Mercedes Montoya , owned a coffee plantation. From a young age, he was seized by a curiosity about the world which inspired his desire to learn. He earned a scholarship to pursue higher education and graduated in 1961 from the Normal Nacional Superior de Varones in Manizales with a degree of Maestro Superior (Superior Teacher), and a Bachiller from Casa Cultural Moreno y Escandon Instituto de Bachillarato in Bogotá in 1961. He subsequently attended Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogotá to study sociology as a way of assisting his community with conflict resolution. He learned the great need for this process much earlier, when he convinced his father to go into hiding during the turbulent La Violencia period in Colombia and thus saved his father from certain murder by the paramilitaries.

After the death of his father in 1963, John returned to Caicedo to help manage the family farm. Knowing first hand the limited educational opportunities available to children, he began enlisting the help of local teachers and government leaders to expand the grade levels and resources available. This determined effort to aid the poor through education led to his founding of the secondary school Instituto de Educatión Media San Juan Bosco in Caicedo. On the occasion of the school’s 50th anniversary in 2016, John was invited to return for the celebration and honored publicly for his service to the children and the community.

Growing up on a farm, John had a soft spot in his heart for animals. He gained the trust of horses that he trained for riding with kindness and patience, and he loved to relate funny stories of stubborn wayward cows and comical antics of a mother hen berating her chicks. In later years, everyone knew how attached he was to his pet cat, Peep, whom he would take on road trips, with Peep calmly sitting in the front seat by his side.

Seeking wider experience and fuller opportunities, John emigrated to the United States in 1970 and continued teaching. When he decided to pursue a second career in real estate, he attended New York University and earned a Certificate in Real Estate Management. He managed buildings in mid-town Manhattan before purchasing his own multi-family apartment building in Brooklyn. John benefited from a knack for fixing almost anything. As a building manager, he easily mastered the workings of plumbing, heating, and electricity and could make all the repairs himself if necessary. This talent endeared him to tenants of all the buildings he managed. And, perhaps more important than the physical repairs, he always treated people with respect and fairness, and would often generously help tenants with good deeds, both large and small -- he once searched the neighborhood to find a priest to give Last Rites to a dying man, and another time, offered to find help for an alcoholic tenant who had been violently attacked and robbed.

After moving to his home on Shore Road in Brooklyn, John was dismayed by the poor condition of the nearby park which was falling into neglect and being used as a dumping ground. He started by cleaning up a small area and planting flowers himself, but as interest from his neighbors grew, he petitioned local city government officials as well as the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to recognize this part of the park as a separate area. Narrows Botanical Garden was officially founded in 1995 as a result of his commitment.

John´s interest in the wider world continued throughout his life. He enjoyed travelling to many countries, from Mexico, South America, and Europe. He followed news from around the world -- most mornings he could be found reading Colombian periodicals as well as the New York Times and The Economist. He loved to attend the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic.

John is survived by his loving wife Pamela, his devoted daughter Patricia Amparo Cifuentes and son-in-law Carlos Enrique Munoz, his granddaughter Maria Alejandra Munoz, and his sister Blanca Rose Cifuentes. He was preceded in death by his brother Jose Eucaris Cifuentes.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the St. Vincent de Paul Society or World Central Kitchen.

Ilumíname, Señor.

Impregna de tu luz mi espíritu para que yo, embebido en tu contemplación, pueda conocerte y expandir tu nombre. Deja Señor, que tan siquiera, una sola gota de tu sangre ruede por mi alma y la fecundice, para que inflamado mi espíritu con el fuego de la fé, reviente el fervor de aquellos que aún te desconocen. Y, has, Señor, que yo esté en Tí, para que, cumplida vuestra Divina Voluntad, pueda un día volar a la mansión eterna. ¡ Y, llévame, Señor, hasta donde quieras que yo vaya!

Escrita por John de Jesús Cifuentes

Agosto 13 de 1959

Enlighten me, Lord.

May your light suffuse my spirit

so that, lost in your contemplation,

I can know you and amplify your name.

Lord, let even

a single drop of your blood

roll by my soul and fortify it,

so that, my spirit, inflamed by the fire of faith,

burst the fervor of those that still do not know you.

And make, Lord, me into You,

so that, completing your divine will,

I will one day be able to fly

to the eternal home.

And take me, Lord, to where

you want me to go.

Louise A. McGreal (nee LaRuffa) was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend. She passed away peacefully surrounded by family at the age of 95 on October 26, 2022.

Louise McGreal was born March 12, 1927 in Oyster Bay, NY to Frank and Angelina LaRuffa, Italian Immigrants. Louise was the seventh of 11 children in a large but tight-knit family. After graduating high-school, she began working for the New York Telephone Company. Shortly after, she met her future husband, Tom McGreal. In 1952, they were married and settled in Yorkville. As a mother to six children, Louise discovered a passion for child-rearing and a hunger to understand their development (no one could get even the most cranky infant on a schedule with greater ease).

Louise became a Crossing Guard in the neighborhood. She was fondly remembered by the neighborhood children.

As her children got older, Louise had more time to explore her love of learning. Louise satisfied her great interest in psychology and philosophy through self-study and lively, thought provoking discussions.

Throughout her life, Louise embraced an open-house policy-she always found room for someone that needed a place to stay or a meal.

Louise loved gardening and even in the middle of N.Y.C. she created a beautiful little oasis of blooming flowers. When she retired and moved to her beloved Florida home she was able to more fully enjoy tending to her garden.

Louise is survived by four of her children: Jimmy McGreal (sp. Vickie), Frankie McGreal, Anne Marie Stillfried, Jane (sp. Brendan) Johnson; 6 grandchildren; and 2 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Tom McGreal and two of her children: Tommy McGreal and Angela McGreal Guidetti.

We ask all of those she loved and touched deeply to join us in celebrating her life.

Alexander (Alex) Charles Witkowski was a caring father and husband with an extraordinary work ethic. He passed away on September 8, 2022, in New York City, where he was also born and lived his entire life. Alex was 79 years old.

He was born to Anna and Alexander on May 3, 1943. He attended St. Vincent Ferrer Grammar School and was an altar boy at St. Vincent Ferrer Church. His opportunity to attend Regis High School on full academic scholarship was a turning point in Alex’s life for which he was always grateful. Over the many decades following, Alex never stopped working and taking on new challenges, obtaining numerous academic degrees in the fields of Engineering, Business Administration and Finance, and Law, as well as credentials and licensing in various trade specialties, including Master Electrician. He received great satisfaction from building and fixing things and discovering ways to make optimal improvements to everything.

On February 6, 1965, Alex married Helen Elizabeth at St. Vincent Ferrer Church and they had a long life together with their four children - Alexander U. Witkowski, Timothy X. Witkowski, Dianne M. Witkowski, and Lisa S. Witkowski. His wife preceded Alex’s death by two and a half years. He was a tireless and great support to Helen during her illness that was inspiring to his children. Alex is survived by his four children.

Throughout his life, Alex was a proud New Yorker and experienced all that the city had to offer - running around the Central Park reservoir was a passion in his younger years and museums and cultural institutions were always a part of his life. He was eccentric and followed his own interests and passions throughout his life, which changed and evolved over the years. Alex enjoyed experiencing the best things that his resources allowed, whether it was taking exquisite pictures with a Hasselblad camera during the many decades he was a photography enthusiast or enjoying a steak at Peter Lugar’s with his family. During recent years, Alex was able to retell his many stories about his life and share his opinions and observations about everything under the sun with a new audience: his two grandchildren, Amanda and Aidan, children of his son Timothy and his wife Diane, who were also married at St. Vincent Ferrer Church.

Alex will be sorely missed by his family and everyone who had the opportunity to have a deep conversation with him. A wake is scheduled from 6-8 pm on September 20, 2022, at John Krtil Funeral Home. A funeral service is scheduled for 10 am on September 21, 2022, at St. Vincent Ferrer Church, with which Alex has had a close and lifelong connection.

In lieu of flowers, Alex would have appreciated a donation to Regis High School in Manhattan.

It is with a very heavy heart that we announce the passing of our mother, Rachelle Anne Scott, MD on the morning of Aug. 30, 2022.

Many of you know she had been battling health challenges in recent years. And boy was she a fighter (we’re talking Ali/Fraiser/Tyson-style warrior). But in the end, she went suddenly. The night before she passed, she said she was tired, and that she wanted to go home... I pray she’s at peace.

Dr. Scott. Rachelle, Rae, Mommy, Mom, Nana—was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, colleague, mentor, teacher, and physician. She was the smartest person I’ve ever known. But she also had a crafty sense of humor and she loved, loved, loved being a doctor and taking care of her patients; she loved teaching, and she loved her students. Everyone who knew her was better for it. We love her. And we will never ever forget her.

If you are wondering how you can help the family, in addition to keeping them in your thoughts and prayers, please also consider contributing monetarily, which would provide the family with assistance during this difficult time.

She was especially devoted to her teenage students, leading many of her classes onto Debate Team championships and awards allowing them to perform on-stage with the Broadway cast of “Hamilton”.

The Monsignor ministered to families residing at RMH-NY as Pastor of St. Monica’s Church and Upper East Side Episcopal Vicar.

Memorial Service:

January 9, 2022

Location: (Zoom)

invitation link pending

It is with profound sadness that we share the news that Ann Zamoiski Yanovsky has lost her more than six year battle with uterine cancer on December 26, 2021. A native of Chevy Chase, Maryland, Annie was born on August 10, 1954. After graduating from BCC High School and then Boston University, Annie traveled the world before settling in New York City where she lived for almost 40 years, becoming that consummate NY sports fan except for her beloved Washington Football Team. An accomplished and creative floral designer, internet designer and marketing manager, Annie found her true calling in working in NYC residential real estate sales.

Never seeing herself as a victim, facing every challenge and obstacle with her signature good humor, energy and optimism, Annie made every minute of her life count. She never let her treatment get in the way of being an incredible parent to her amazing daughter, a caring sister to her brothers, a selfless daughter to her mother, more like a sister to her sister in laws, a doting aunt and great aunt, a loving influence on her whole family, an invaluable friend to all who knew her and a professional whose love of her work always made her a success.

Family was the centerpiece of her life, and her dedication through her kindness, love and affection has made each of us a better human being. In her 67 years, Annie made an impact on all those who held her close or who knew her even slightly. She lived her life with passion and hope, choosing happiness as her mantra. Annie embraced everyone she met, leaving them richer for the experience. Creative, generous and authentically caring, Annie’s trademark smile was enough to make everyone she met a new friend. If you knew Annie, it is my hope that you will hold her memory close to your heart so you will continue to be enriched by how she touched your life. Smile when you think of Annie, and be assured that she is smiling back.

Annie is survived by her loving daughter Asher, her mother Suzie, her brothers John, Jason and Joe, her sisters-in-law Audrey, Barbie and Jodi, her nieces and nephew Molly, JoJo, Jordyn and Jake, her great niece Ellie, her step-nephews Scott and Ryan and all those who loved her.

Annie is still spreading her magic as she remains within each of us giving us a reason to be grateful for what we have. With sensitivity to Covid protocols in mind, a memorial service will be held via zoom on January, 9, 2021. With respect to her giving nature, should you wish to remember Annie with a donation, follow the link to Hart For Animals Fund provides free medical services for senior dogs to encourage adoption at https://www.hartforanimals.org/lolas-fund or City Harvest which is helping with food insecurity in New York City at https://secure.cityharvest.org/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app30117a?3661.donation=form1&df_id=3661&mfc_pref=T&NONCE_TOKEN=489486BD8B6DC365FA87917BE78B9064&fbclid=IwAR0IzqJQp-inEfeuwNzJax7VQKlqiBrcxRUDEk6XNtWEsxNEYmv-n1p8_PE ...

Sandor "Alex" Kiss, Jr., of New York, New York, passed away on July 6, 2021 in his home. He was 48 years old.

Alex joins his mother, Moira Duffy, who predeceased him by fourteen years, and his best pal Sophie, his much beloved canine companion of many years. He is survived by his father, Sandor Kiss, Sr., of Yorkville and Hungary, and many beloved cousins, friends, and colleagues.

Frequently found cycling around Yorkville, the neighborhood he called home for nearly all of his life, Alex was often a familiar and always a welcoming presence wherever he went, making anyone feel like an old friend.

Joseph M. Guidera
(1950- 2021)

Joseph M. Guidera, passed away unexpectedly at home, on June 9, 2021.

Born in Utica, he was the son of Rose and Luciano (Lucky) Guidera, who predeceased him. He was a graduate of T. R. Proctor High School and Hunter College, with a degree in biochemistry. In his early twenties, Joe moved to NYC and never left. He loved living there and thrived on all the culture the city had to offer. He also thrived on the cultural diversity of NYC and enjoyed its variety of cuisines. He attended Broadway plays, rock concerts, as well as symphonies, Shakespeare In the Park performances and operas at the Metropolitan Opera House. Joe had an insatiable thirst for knowledge and read books on a wide range of subjects. He probably visited every museum in the city and could give a running commentary on nearly every exhibit. In his earlier years, he performed in numerous Off-Broadway plays. Though Joe loved living in the Big City, he was drawn to nature and demonstrated a vast knowledge of plants, trees, insects, flowers, animals and the stars, citing the Latin for their common names. However, his greatest passion was music. By vocation, Joe was a songwriter, singer, musician and performer. He always had lyrics and melodies magically swirling in his head. He was always jotting down words and phrases and humming tunes into his phone if he wasn't home. A source of great pride for him was the Grammy nomination he once received for one of his songs. Joe loved performing and could often be seen in various venues across the city. He earned the respect and friendship of many people he worked with in the music world, with one calling him, "One of the good ones!"

Joe leaves behind his most loving companion of the last 15 years, Niurka Sabina. They were inseparable. Niurka shared her family, especially her daughter and son-in-law and their four children, with whom Joe spent many happy times. Joe is also survived by his loving family: his brother, Marty Guidera; and his sister and brother-in-law, Josey and Joe Lopez; his nephews, Matt Lopez and his wife, Kristin, Mike Lopez and his wife, Erica, Justen Lopez and his grand-nieces and nephew, Samantha and Katherine Lopez and Luciana and Michael Lopez. He is also survived by his uncle and aunt, Louis and Frances Bell; his aunt, Marie Bell; his many cousins; and his lifelong friends, Joe Ciaccarelli and Fred Peek.

A service will be held on June 30, 2021, at 11:00, at the Calvary Cemetery, 2407 Oneida St., Utica, lower mausoleum.

Donations may be made to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, for those who wish to make one.

Sylvia Munick passed away on Friday, June 4, after a long struggle with dementia.

She lived all of her life in New York, from her early years in the Bronx, to her later years in Forest Hills, Westchester, and Manhattan. She felt at peace near or on the water, and in her middle years spent much time on the Long Island Sound.

For more than 30 years, Sylvia worked as a grade-school teacher in Spanish Harlem and the Bronx. Her students loved her. Their parents loved her. She was an outstanding piano player; she’d accompany all the musical productions in her school’s auditorium. She always had a piano in the house, and neighbors listening in often told her that she needed to play more.

Sylvia above all loved animals, dogs in particular. Her pets always came first, and they were almost never alone.

Funny and generous, Sylvia is survived by her only child, Ernie Munick, her twin sister, Claire Harris, as well as such beloved family members as nephew Allan Harris, his wife, Diane, and their son Aaron, as well as nephew Steven Harris.

May the people and animals Sylvia loved most — Rose Strauss, Richard Weiser, Irv Harris, Matty Harris, and her cherished pets Reggie and Sugar Ray and Huckleberry and Jelly Roll — be with her now and beyond, and may the ones still here have the option of joining her when their time has come.

Thanks, ma. I’ll always be there, as you were for me. I know you know.

Jerry Schmetterer, ex-Daily Newser and former Brooklyn DA’s spokesman, dies at 77

By LARRY MCSHANE

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS |

MAY 25, 2021 AT 12:07 PM

Former Daily News veteran Jerry Schmetterer, the author of several books and long-time spokesman for the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office, died Monday after a battle with cancer, his family said. He was 77.

The Bronx-born Schmetterer worked for 23 years as a reporter, bureau chief and metropolitan editor for The News, reporting on major stories including the French Connection case, the Son of Sam murders, the assassination of John Lennon by a deranged fan and the 1993 terror attack on the World Trade Center.

He also spent a dozen years as director of public information at the Brooklyn DA’s office, working under prosecutor Charles J. Hynes from 2001-2013. He passed away at his Manhattan home with wife Emily and son David at his side.

Schmetterer’s books included “The Coffey Files: One Cop’s War Against the Mob,” a collaboration with legendary NYPD Detective Joe Coffey, and “Crooked Brooklyn: Taking Down Corrupt Judges, Dirty Politicians, Killers and Body Snatchers,” with borough prosecutor Michael Vecchione.

He was also a past president and longtime member of the New York Press Club.

“Jerry was a journalist, author and former spokesman for the Brooklyn DA’s office,” the press club said via Twitter. “He was a good man who knew how to tell a good story. Our condolences to Jerry’s family.”

During his long career, Schmetterer also worked at a managing editor at CNN and WPIX-TV, served briefly as city editor at the New York Post and worked as managing editor for the television show Extra. The Army veteran and graduate of DeWitt Clinton High School started with The News as a copy boy.

“He was a great friend,” said veteran New York public relations guru Morty Matz. “And a great journalist. And a great loss to his family and friends. He will be missed.”

The family said Schmetterer, a die-hard Mets fan, was cremated wearing a jacket and T-shirt from his favorite team. Plans for an upcoming memorial service were in the works, the family said.

He was survived by spouse Emily; his younger brother Bernie; son David, wife Nina and grandsons Isaac and Austen; and stepson Charles Alaimo, wife Christel and grandson Carston.

On May 19, 2021 Mary Eileen Fitzgerald, pioneer resident of Rivercross, passed on to her reward at 98 years of age. After signing a lease in 1976, she eventually moved into Rivercross. At that time Mary was still working for the New York Police Department (N.Y.P.D.). In 1952 she was sworn into the Department and was considered a pioneer in the field of police work for women. In 1952 there were not many female officers serving the City of New York. She and the other policewomen were called trail-blazers. She herself had never seen or heard of women police prior to her entrance into the Police Department. A friend, referred to by Mary as her “angel friend”, encouraged her to take the entrance examinations which she met with success. Until approximately 1969 policewomen were not permitted to take promotional exams just because they were women. The only way women were given recognition for dedicated and professional police work was by appointment to the grade of Detective as a promotion, which Mary achieved.

Mary was a life-time resident of New York City, having been born in the Bronx to parents who immigrated from Ireland. She was the only survivor of four children, and unfortunately her father died suddenly in 1938 in the heart of the Great Depression. With the values instilled by their father and with their wonderful mother at the helm, they survived the Depression. They had learned from both parents the values, the confidence, and the will to prepare them for life. They were taught by example always to “give back” to friends, their community and to great causes.

After Mary retired from the N.Y.P.D. in 1983, she remained active in volunteer work on Roosevelt Island and also in Manhattan. She volunteered for the Cabrini Thrift Shop, the Homeless Shelter at Good Shepherd, the R.I. Historical Society, St. Frances Cabrini Parish and Byrd Coler Hospital Auxiliary. She also volunteered for Catholic Charities preparing layettes for needy mothers-to-be, at memorial Sloane-Kettering Hospital, the Mary Manning Walsh Home and St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

In 2018, Mary was recognized as a New York State Woman of Distinction by the New York State Senate.

She is survived by her nephews, Peter, Mark, Paul, and Vincent; a niece, Jeanne; two grand-nieces, Lauren and Marissa Fitzgerald; and a grand-nephew, John Fitzgerald. The Quality of Mary’s Life was extended by her loving caregivers: Maritza, Blanca, Kamo, Shalini.

Visitation will be at John Krtil Funeral Home on Sunday May 23, 2021 from 2pm-5pm & 7pm-9pm. Mass of Christian Burial 10AM on Monday May 24, 2021 at St. John Nepomucene Roman Catholic Church (66th St & 1st Ave). Interment to follow at St. Raymond’s Cemetery Bronx, NY at 11:45AM.

Rosemary Kennedy Lane, 97, of Manhattan, NY passed away peacefully on Monday May 10th, 2021.

Rosemary was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, daughter of Walter and Harriet (Mullen) Kennedy and was the eldest of 5 children. She was the valedictorian of the first graduating class of Fontbonne Hall Academy and attended Brooklyn College.

Rosemary was a child performer who acted, sang, and even tap-danced on the radio in the 1930’s, as one of “Uncle Robert’s Radio Pals.” Rosemary was accomplished and beautiful and landed summer singing engagements as a teen on the St. Lawrence River Cruises in the early 1940’s.

Rosemary worked at Bell Laboratories, Manhattan on various research and development projects, most notably the Visible Speech Project.

She was swept off her feet in 1949 by a dashing young firefighter and married Daniel Joseph Lane also of Brooklyn, NY. Their long and happy marriage produced seven children, eighteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Settling in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, Rosemary was very involved in the local civic association, garden club, the Catholic church, and Girl Scouts.

An avid painter, he worked in oils, watercolors, and pastels, and combined his love of photography, jazz, and sports to produce many beautiful paintings throughout his lifetime.

Since his retirement in 2002, Ernest enjoyed his life of family, friends, jazz, travel, golf, exercise, and painting.

Fahey, Douglas Patrick, age 57, of New York, New York, on Sunday,

April 18, 2021.

To know Doug was to love him.

Doug was born at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York City on September 4, 1963, to delighted parents Theresa Marie (nee Keenan) and Patrick Joseph Fahey. He was the third of the family’s five children but never suffered from middle child syndrome. From early on, Doug had no trouble standing out from the crowd: his eyes were bright blue and he boasted a full head of curly blonde hair. He was especially close to older brother Thomas and younger brother Dylan, and held a special place in the hearts of older sister Christine and younger sister Jennifer.

Doug grew up in Paramus, New Jersey, attending Our Lady of the Visitation grammar school. He loved playing football at Petruska Park and quickly earned a reputation as one of the toughest kids on the field. He was never intimidated by bigger kids and never

backed away from a fight.

In those early years, Doug formed a lasting attachment to two underdogs:

The New York Jets and the New York Mets. He idolized Jets QB Joe Namath, Mets outfielder Jim Hickman and the 1969 Miracle Mets. He never stopped believing.

He loved boxing and could recount rounds from many of Muhammad Ali’s greatest ringside battles. The champ was his favorite boxer and before this last hospitalization,

Doug planned to visit the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Kentucky.

As a kid, Doug regularly snuck into his sisters’ room and rifled through the record collection. He discovered America, Paul Simon and, of course, the Beatles. Like the rest of the USA, the boys were all big fans of the Fab Four. And like their heroes, Tom and Doug picked up guitars. Thus began Doug’s devotion to music. He was gifted, a natural performer who could hear a song and play it back with ease. Brother Tom remembers the day it all began. “Doug came back from his first guitar lesson. He was in fifth grade at that time, but I could see that he had found a lifelong love. His happiest times were spent strumming an acoustic while his friends sang a Beatles’ song.”

With his brothers, Doug began a paper route. They hated it but kept it up because they had plans for that money. It was intended to purchase their very first amplifier. Instead, their Dad returned the papers and made them quit the job. He had hated his OWN paper route and wouldn’t have his sons suffer the same fate. But he gifted the boys that much desired amplifier. The paper route was history and the boys were ready to rock. Their first band was called “Lightening.”

Doug attended Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, New Jersey. He later described those four years as ‘pure torture.’ But at Bosco he got to know a student named Stan Wiklinski.

Stan remembers an incident from freshman year. “My earliest memory of Doug was Mrs. Kraus's English class. On this particular day, we were a bit rowdy. Mrs. Kraus was very short, 4'9" or 10". At one point she turned to Doug, who was of course cracking up the class with his one liners, and said ‘You know, I've had just about enough of this.’ And without missing a beat, he responded ‘I know, you've had it up to here, right?’ and he put his hand up to the middle of his chest, busting her on how short she was. Mrs. Kraus laughed, she couldn't help herself! The whole class lost it, it was hysterical.”

That was Doug.

After graduating from Bosco, Doug chose to follow his parents and older siblings to the Bronx, attending Fordham University. Doug discovered White Castle and Keating Hall. More importantly, he embraced the Jesuit philosophy. While many of his classmates chased dollar signs, Doug proudly called himself a 'Bobby Kennedy liberal.’ He opened his big heart to those less fortunate. He used his electives to study philosophy, religion and social justice.

Doug joined a band consisting of Fordham pals: John McPartlin as lead singer, Jim Mongan on lead guitar, brother Dylan on drums, Guy D’Aguanno on bass, and Doug on rhythm guitar. They called themselves "Rude Awakening” and played mostly original music. One popular tune was a punk rock version of the classic “King of the Road.” The guys landed one notable gig at a downtown club dubbed “The Dive." Enough said. They hoped to land their big break during an open talent call at the famous CBGB’s, but the call was cancelled.

Doug bumped into another Wiklinski at Fordham. Steve was to become one of the most important people in his life: a gentleman who was with Doug during the best of times and the worst of days. They remained best friends until the end. At Fordham, they performed as a popular musical comedy team- known memorably as “Doug & Steve.” Fordham gave them their own night, a “A Doug & Steve Christmas.” Other notable gigs included Fordham’s twenty-four hour dance marathon. And the duo conceived and performed a fundraiser for POTS Soup Kitchen. As a result, Steve and Doug received Student Leadership Awards from the Dean.

Fordham pal and fellow guitarist Lori Urso joined Doug, Stan, and Steve washing dishes

at Fordham’s cafeteria. This gig came with food and they entertained themselves

singing a capella tunes.

After graduating Fordham, Doug went on to earn a masters degree in Education. He chose to teach in the poorest areas, spending his career in the South Bronx. One student remembered fondly that Mr. Fahey was the teacher who always came in with the best Christmas gifts for his students. He was truly happy when with his students, sharing his love of learning and life. Doug began his teaching career with Humberto Roberts. Their close friendship continued until the end of Doug’s life.

“I first met Doug on September 11, 1989 at Community School 150 in the Bronx. We were both first year teachers. By watching his interactions with the students, it was evident that he was a person who truly cared about them and really enjoyed his job. Up until 2015, when I retired from C.S. 150, parents and former students would still ask me how Mr. Fahey was doing because of how close they knew we were.”

Douglas became a father nearly twenty years ago. And while young Patrick has special needs, Doug took great pleasure in every moment they spent together. In the nineties, Doug began to experience kidney issues. These only worsened. He was fortunate to

spend an increasing amount of time with the Wiklinski family. Soon he was an adopted

family member. With his own parents gone, Stan and Barbara Wiklinski gave him a home

and embraced him. But Doug was never healthy enough to return to teaching.

Doug was a loyal, loving, reliable friend and he cultivated and maintained strong friendships. Stan recalls an act of kindness that stays with him to this day.

“Somewhere in the mid-nineties, I lost my license for a year. This made picking up

my young son Matt very difficult (he was 8 or 9). Doug would drive all the way from the Bronx, in his blue Cadillac, and pick me up in New Jersey and then pick up Matt. Next he would drive me to wherever I needed to go. Many times he'd drive us back to the Bronx and we'd spend the day with him, either in the apartment or at Fordham playing football or soccer. He did it for a year. A true friend. He would always put change on the floor in the back for Matt to "find", and Matt would always look for it.”

“When Doug was in the hospital,” his sister Chris shares,” I often felt more like

his social secretary than his health care advocate. The phone calls, texts and e-mails

never stopped. And Doug wanted to hear about everyone who called and how to get back to them.” Doug got to know Margaret Cullen when she was a bartender at The Harbor House. But she went back to school and became a nurse practitioner. “Margaret was always his first call when he didn’t feel well, the one medical professional he knew he could truly trust,” according to Chris.

Before the pandemic, in September of 2019, many of Doug’s friends and family

gathered with him to celebrate his birthday and their friendship. It was a night of love, laughter, music and memories, held at The Wiklinski’s. Having lost Doug nearly two years later, we will treasure the good times we shared. Doug was a gift, on loan from our Lord.

And now he is truly headed home.

Says Steve, “Doug used to say that we had been friends for over thirty years and never had an argument. A mild embellishment perhaps, but only that. We simply enjoyed each other's company. When we got together, the comedy began and the worries of life would drift away. About my friend, if I were allowed only a one word description, it would be kind. I searched for him when I needed my spirit uplifted, and he never let me down. Doug, you touched many people's hearts, in very special ways.”

We didn’t have enough time with you, Doug, and we miss you already. We’ll look

out for Patrick and pray that one day, we’ll see you again. For now, no more pain

and no more suffering. God bless you, Doug. We love you.
