Dead Lights for Michael

When someone dies in Wurtsboro the funeral home turns on their outside lights. So before the obituary is printed in the newspaper everyone knows someone in town has died. We call them the dead lights

The lights were on last week for my brother-in law Mike Dolan who passed away after battling brain & lung cancer for two years. Mike was just a great guy. The kind of man who was always ready to lend a helping hand, especially for Toni & me. Mike moved our heavy furniture, laid down our flooring in the living room and countless other assists. He was always there when he was needed. He was honest, funny, and smart and we loved him.

Mike and I were two Irish, Catholic boys from Jersey who married the Newkirk girls. We shared a common adversary. He always had good advise for me. He treated me like the brother I never had and I will always miss him.

Mike had a beautiful Mass and Military funeral. It poured rain during the service, which only seemed fitting

After the service we had lunch at Danny's

Then the family came back to our house for more food and stories of Mike

Mike, we are so grateful for the time we had with you. You will always be in our hearts.

Toni & the Archbishop

Toni got to meet Archbishop Timothy Dolan at a reception in Monticello last night.
Archbishop Dolan is doing a tour to meet parishioners in every county of the archdiocese
In this picture Archbishop Dolan is praying over Toni. He found out that Toni was married to me. I think he's trying to cast out the demon Jack from her soul.
