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.

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. Paul/sk 73&88’s
