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.

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.”
