      Barone, Concezo Peter passed away on July 26, 2010 of respiratory failure, after a brief illness. "Pete" was born in Newburgh, NY on December 28, 1925 and has resided in the Town of Poughkeepsie since 1953 with his beloved wife of 62 years, Kathleen (DiCesare). Pete and Kay were high school sweethearts and married after serving his country in the U.S. Air Force at the end of World War II. Pete was the son of Nicholas and Anna Barone. In addition to his wife, Kay, Pete leaves surviving his son, Carl P. Barone and daughter-in-law, Carol, and daughter, Karen M. Stude; grandchildren: Kathi, Justin and Lauren Studer and Connor and Caylea Barone. Pete and Kay celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary on July 25. Pete's eyes lit up when in the presence of his grandchildren who adored him and kept him young at heart to the very end. Pete's two sisters, Gloria DeSanctis and Marie Barone, also survived in Newburgh. Pete was a loyal employee of IBM for 40 years, walking to work in the early years from his home in the Town of Poughkeepsie. Even though his formal education ended when he graduated from high school, Pete was an instructor in the Tool & Dye School for many years, earning the respect of his students and coworkers. He rose to the rank of manager at IBM. Pete was a member of the Italian Center for decades and served this organization loyally for which he was honored by being named "Member of the Year." Pete had a special place in his heart for the "underdog" and his mantra included the advice to be humble in your success. He often gave the hard worker a "tip" for their extra effort in delivering something to the house or when out doing errands, but didn't condone government handouts or free spending. To the end, Pete could be seen taking care of his yard, riding his lawn tractor and keeping up his landscaping. He took special pride in the "lake house" he built himself on the shores of Lake Champlain on Willsboro Point. He enjoyed gathering there with family whenever possible. In his younger days, Pete had the best holiday light display in the town! Pete will be missed by all who loved him and benefited from his sage advice.

   Canade, Mary Lou born in Newburgh, on June 26, 1926, passed away on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at Putnam Ridge Nursing Home, Brewster, NY. She was 84. The beloved daughter of Vincent and Josephine Canade, Mary was well known for being a loving caretaker to those who were ill or in need, all of her life. One of her great loves was music and she could often be heard playing the piano. She studied the piano for years and probably could have become a concert pianist. As Edna St. Vincent Milay said, "Following care along the dusty road, have I looked back at loveliness and sighed; Yet at my hand an unrelenting hand tugged ever, and I passed. All my life long, over my shoulder I have looked at peace; And now I fain would lie in this long grass and close my eyes." First when her father became, ill, she cared for him; later her mother when she became ill; and lastly for her late sister, Lucretia. She always put the needs of others before her own desires. A graduate of Newburgh Free Academy, she spent many happy years working at Stewart Air Base and later at West Point, where she was involved in running the housing department. She loved meeting new people and quickly made newcomers feel at home. In her later years, she particularly enjoyed musical productions and entertainment. While she never married, she was a second mother to her sister's children. We thank her for all of her kindness and years of unselfish care she provided to her family, whenever they were in need. Mary is survived by her sister, Anita Cosman; nieces: Judith Ann Challis, Joyce Cosman Gilcash, Karen Pill and Debra Lawrence; as well as many cousins. Visitation will be held from 5-8 p.m. on Friday, August 27, at Brooks Funeral Home, 481 Gidney Ave. Newburgh. A Funeral Service will be private. Burial will take place in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Newburgh.

    Kirkpatrick, Robert J. Jr. passed away on April 16, 2015, at the age of 87. He was at home with his family. Bob was born May 4, 1927 and raised in Newburgh and would often speak of the history associated with the town that he held dear, and he was proud to be a lifelong resident. Bob was a self-made man from early in his life, joining the US Navy to be in World War II at the age of 17. Bob spent many days in the Pacific on the USS Shangri-La and would incorporate stories of his time on the ship into many of his conversations, including how he and Admiral McCain became confidants during their time at sea together. He spoke with pride about having the responsibility of operating all of the ship's boilers to power the vessel through the Panama Canal at the age of 18 and about gaining the respect of those with whom he served. Bob married Linda Jean Case in 1965 and with her devoted support they created an appraisal company together and worked side by side for many years. Linda's encouragement led Bob to become active in town politics and he became councilman in the Town of Newburgh in 1972. In 1984, Bob was elected to the position of Supervisor of the Town of Newburgh. With a political career of nearly two decades, he was instrumental in getting sewer service in the Town of Newburgh, obtaining a post office for the town, as well as numerous other projects for improvement for the town. He was also a firm supporter of the town police department. He coined the phrase "Crossroads of the Northeast," promoting the fact that the town's location was ideal for, in his own words, "small and medium-sized businesses which can bring new jobs and tax rateables to the township" while still maintaining the delicate environmental balance of the town and preserving the rural and affordable lifestyle it offered. Bob was an avid fisherman, trout fishing in the Esopus Creek on the banks of the camp where he spent weekends with his family in Mount Tremper, and fishing and ice fishing in Orange Lake and Chadwick Lake in his hometown. After retirement, he fulfilled a lifelong dream of flying, inspired by the planes landing and taking off from the aircraft carrier upon which he was stationed during the war, by obtaining his pilot's license. He took pride in taking people on trips in his Piper Warrior airplane. He was a storyteller and could talk to everyone he met about a variety of topics and he took delight out of making people laugh with him. Bob is survived by his wife of fifty years Linda; his daughter, Lynne Lewis and her husband, Bobby of Palm Bay, Florida; his son, Robert J. Kirkpatrick, III and his wife, Toni, and his daughter, KC Kirkpatrick and her wife, Christy. In addition, he is survived by his grandsons: Cameron Kirkpatrick and Robert J. Kirkpatrick, IV. Bob was predeceased by his father, Robert J. Kirkpatrick, Sr., and his aunt and uncle, Gertrude and Irving Avery. Visitation for family and friends will take place Sunday, April 19th from 2 to 6 p.m. at White & Venuto Funeral Home, 188 North Plank Rd., Newburgh. Funeral service will be held 11 a.m. Monday, April 20th at the funeral home. Burial to follow at New Hurley Cemetery in Wallkill. A reception to follow to celebrate the life of a larger than life man. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice of Orange and Sullivan Counties, 800 Stony Brook Court, Newburgh NY 12550 in appreciation of their tireless work.

All through junior high and high school, he continued part time work for local merchants. He graduated from Newburgh Free Academy in 1944 and a few days thereafter enlisted in the U.S. Navy where he served as a Pharmacist's Mate Second Class until 1946 at the end of World War II.

After graduating from Duquesne in 1950, Dr. Reiss entered the Graduate School at Adelphi University in Garden City, N.Y., where he earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in clinical psychology, graduating Adelphi in 1954. At Adelphi he was awarded a graduate assistantship and an Ernest Bivin Foundation Scholarship. Upon graduating from Adelphi University he served a clinical internship in psychology at the University Of Nebraska School Of Medicine's Psychiatric Institute and thereafter was appointed to the staff of the Norfolk (Nebraska) State Hospital. In November 1956 he and Ruth moved to Hampton, Va., where he joined the Veterans Administration Hospital. In 1980 he entered full-time practice with Chessan and Associates in Newport News, Va. Dr. Reiss served on the professional staffs of Sentara Hospital, Hampton General Hospital, Mary Immaculate Hospital and Peninsula Psychiatric Hospital. He held faculty appointments in the off-campus divisions of the University of Virginia, the College of William and Mary and the George Washington University. He also served on the editorial board of the Journal of Child Clinical Psychology and held memberships in the American Psychological Association, The Virginia Academy of Science, the Virginia Psychological Association and The American Association for the Advancement of Science. Together with Ruth he shared a passion for the preservation of the natural environment, and a love for life in the outdoors. He was loyal supporter of the Nature Fund the Wilderness Society. Flying was also one of his passions; he held a private pilots license. Dr. Reiss had a deep concern for the land of Israel and continued to support the struggle against international bigotry and terrorism. Dr. Reiss was a wonderful husband and father and adored his two granddaughters. He was deeply loved by his family and will be missed. A funeral service will be held today, Monday, Nov. 14, at 10 a.m. at Rodef Sholom Temple, officiated by Rabbi Gilah Dror. Burial will follow in the Jewish Cemetery of the Virginia Peninsula.

    Steup, Frederick Chester II - The Reverend Frederick Chester Steup, II, a deacon at St. Patrick's Church and Our Lady of the Lake, and a resident of the Town of Newburgh passed away on July 20, 2012 at St. Luke's Hospital after a long illness. He was 85 years old. Born November 26, 1926 in Baldwin, Long Island, he was the son of the late Frederick C. Steup and the late Gertrude Brandhuber Steup. Working as a TV repairman, a music store sales clerk, and a motion picture projectionist in Newburgh during his early years, he later became an administrator for the NYS Dept. of Transportation, a position he held for many years until his retirement. He was ordained to the deaconate of the Roman Catholic Church in 1978 and was a member of the first upstate graduating class following the Pope's encyclical creating the modern day deaconate. He had a deep love of learning and a hearty sense of humor, his greatest devotion being to his family and to the Church. Beneath a sometimes gruff exterior, he had compassion for the sick and elderly, encouragement for anyone seeking knowledge, and a fondness for cats. He could design and build almost anything and could understand the mechanical operation of any piece of equipment from a public address system to a nuclear submarine. His thirst for knowledge led him from piloting aircraft to photography, ham radio, dancing, amateur theatre, and sailing. He loved reading, seashore vacations, classical music, the ballet and easy-listening hits from the 30's and 40's. He was proud of his sons and all of his grandchildren, often joking that with three sons and five grandsons, the family could only acquire females through marriage. He was witty, a frequent punster, yet a stickler for details and proper procedures. He strove for excellence in all things, and usually achieved it. A member of Mensa, he was also a 4th degree Knight of Columbus, a member of the former Newburgh Civic Theatre, and Chaplin for Goodwill Fire Department in the Town of Newburgh. In earlier times, he was the Chief of Police for the Town of Newburgh's Auxilary Police Department and was a volunteer with the Orange County Department of Civil Defense, later becoming a radiological officer with the state of New York's Department of Civil Defense. He was also a volunteer at Elant Nursing Home at Meadow Hill in Newburgh, where he conducted a Sunday communion service for over 40 years. At age 19, he married the love of his life, Maureen A. Stang at St. Patrick's Church. The two celebrated 64 years of marriage together. She survives him at home. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served during World War II in several stateside locations. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his sons: Frederick C. Steup, III and his wife, Debra, of Cairo, NY; Michael E. Steup and his wife, Leslie, of Rock Tavern, NY; and John H. Steup and his wife, Anne, of Portland, Oregon. He is also survived by his five grandsons: Otto Gray, Devon Steup, Frederick C. Steup, IV, Thomas Gervat, and Jonrhien Steup. In addition, he is survived by two step-grandchildren: Devin Gittler and his wife, Renata, of Rock Hill and Tiffany Steinhilber of Goldsboro, NC. Survivors also include his two step-granddaughters, Bailey Steinhilber of Pine Bush and Brandi Steinhilber of Goldsboro, NC, and dear friends, Arlene and John Staples of Vermont. Visitation will be Monday, July 23, from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at St. Patrick's Church, 55 Grand St., Newburgh, where he will lie in state. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Tuesday, July 24, at 10 a.m. at St. Patrick's Church. Fr. Fernando Hernandez will be the celebrant. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery.

  Valenti, Dorothy Presutti      Born Feb. 24, 1926 Died Sept. 29, 1990

  Valenti, Patsy Delia born in Newburgh to Lucia Valicenti Valenti and Adolfo Valenti, she was predeceased by three sisters; Helen Valenti, Philomena Sassone and Dorothy Presutti. She passed peacefully after suffering for about a year from cancer and related heart and kidney complications. At the time of her death, she was in the company of her husband, Massimo Delia; two sons, Ralph and James Delia, daughter-in-law, Anna Arevalo Delia, and Danny Mangano. She was also the loving grandmother of James Delia Jr. Surviving her, as noted, is Danny Mangano whom Patsy and Massimo lovingly raised from infancy when Danny's mother unexpectedly passed away at a young age in their Hialeah neighborhood. The Mangano family will miss her too, as will all of us. She graduated from Newburgh Free Academy, worked as a cosmetologist and silk screener, and married Massimo Delia on June 6, 1954 in Sacred Heart Church in Newburgh. In 1956, she moved to Hialeah, FL, where her husband, "Doots" was employed as an upholsterer for Pan Am Airlines. Patsy Ruth, affectionately known as "Aunt Pat" by friends, neighbors and relatives, was a model for that generation of totally selfless Italian matriarchs. When she wasn't serving family and neighbors with her culinary specialities, she was entertaining them with her charm. From her childhood, she was the life of the party who could fill a room with laughter and love at the same time. She was the epitome of the "family first" adage, who never forgot a birthday and would lovingly feed everyone around - holiday or not. She was the neighborhood Mom, respected and loved by all, who oftentimes gave to others more than she could afford. Even in her final weeks, her focus was on others. In addition, Aunt Pat, whether with food or fabric, was creative and giving. Her needlework, stained glass, cake decorating, and ceramics served as expressions of her generosity, her zest for life, and her love for those she touched. She also leaves behind a number of Valicenti, Kuprych, Sassone and Presutti nephews, nieces and cousins, and with her passing she takes an entire generation with her. To celebrate her life, and as a tribute to how much she will be missed, a Mass in her memory will be offered on Wednesday evening, March 9, at 7 p.m., at Sacred Heart Church in Newburgh.

    Vecchio, Jean Irene 87, died peacefully late Saturday evening, April 11, 2015, in the Burlington Health and Rehabilitation Center. Vermont. She was born on Oct. 16, 1927, in Newburgh, N.Y., the only child of Thomas and Irene (Raven) Vecchio. After high school and business school, Jean first followed in her father's footsteps working at the United States Military Academy at West Point. She then spent a short time in civil service until 1959 when she began a decades-long career at IBM. She worked at IBM's Federal Systems Division in Washington and Omaha before moving and making her home in Essex, where she rose to Manager before retiring in 1987. In retirement, Jean traveled, read voraciously, and doted on a nationwide network of friends. With her dear friends from The Pines she took trips, organized gatherings, played cards, shared recipes, and lent a hand or a word of encouragement wherever she could. Jean's love of food was well known to everyone who knew her. It was said she remembered her vacations not by the sights but by the restaurants, and could recall what she had to eat anywhere she'd visited. Jean loved to cook for her friends and shared her creations around The Pines and beyond. Jean is survived by her close friends, Tom and Denise Hughes of Milton; and Denise's sons, Jason Cayia, and his daughter, Madison, Kevin Cayia, his partner, Nicole Dalton, and their daughter, Shealyn, and Landon Cayia. Jean's friendships extended well beyond Vermont to Julie Matthews and her daughter, Hilary, of Saugus, Maine; Claire Neafsy of Mount Airy, Md., and her children; Pam Gilhooly of Lady Lake, Fla., and her children, Sean, Colleen, and Meghan; her goddaughter, Joanne Seymour of Newburgh, who predeceased her on April 2, 2015; and Joanne's children: son, Sean Seymour, his wife, Gina, and their children, Sidney and Jack; daughter, Jeni; and son, Ryan and his wife, Dyani. Denise and Tom wish to express their thanks and appreciation to the staff at Burlington Health and Rehab and to everyone who kept in touch with Jean or visited during her stay there. At Jean's request, there will be no visiting hours or funeral services. Online condolences may be made to www.minorfh.com.

              Vento, Velma Jane Grisham...... Born June 15, 1926 Died April 14, 1999  http://ventomirto.weebly.com/velma-vento.htmltml  Beloved mother of seven - Still loved in heaven Velma was the second child of Jane Vento and the first child of Peter Vento. Velma was an adorable baby and the little darling of the Vento/Mirto clan. Velma’s mother, Jane Yeaple-Vento, was of Dutch heritage. Velma’s father, Peter, was of Italian heritage. Velma grew up very poor. They lived in an apartment above a bar in old Newburgh. Velma who blossomed as a young woman was very beautiful. She hated having to cross paths with the drunks hanging out in front of her doorway gawking at her as she climbed the stairs to their second floor apartment. Their home had an iron stove which, not only was used for cooking, but heated their hot water. It would have to be stoked with wood to heat the house and generate hot water. Showers weren’t bearable until the water was heated. They also heated water for washing clothes. The house was always cold in the mornings until the stove was stoked. Velma’s mother, Jane, was a very tidy housekeeper and Velma remembered her mother on her hands and knees scrubbing the floors while singing gospel hymns. Jane ironed clothes with an old cast iron, set on the stove long enough to get hot. One time while ironing, Jane got mad at Pete and threw the iron at him, missing, but the iron stuck right into the wall. Pete often was in the dog house with Jane when he’d flirt with other women. They were so poor that Velma and Jane had to wash out old rags for their womanly cycles. Velma walked miles to school, in all kinds of weather, and often times she’d take a shortcut through the park which was frightening encountering the tramps that lived there. Velma’s brother, Don, got in some trouble as a teen and caused his mother a lot of heart ache. He was a bit of a rebel. Their father, Pete wasn’t much of a disciplinarian to Don. Maybe he didn’t feel right disciplining the son that was not his by birth. Maybe Jane stepped in too many times. You see Jane was a victim of incest by her Uncle and it resulted in a pregnancy. She gave birth to Don and kept the child, which was a brave thing to do in those days. A single mother was not something too many people looked kindly on. Jane was emotionally scarred by her childhood and trusted few men. But somehow Pete swept her off of her feet and married her.

He married the love of his life, Dorothy (Dotty) Van Leuven in 1954. They lived and raised their family in Walden. He retired from the New York State Thruway Authority after being employed as a Toll Supervisor for over 35 years. He worked part-time in his retirement for Gridley-Horan Funeral Home as the "man at the door" for many years. Jerry's faith was strong and he was a Cursillo member and a member of Most Precious Blood parish in Walden. Jerry spent many years serving the Walden community as a member of the Orange Hose Fire Co. along with the Knights of Columbus. He served as secretary and treasurer in the Fire Dept. as well as in the Fire Police in his retirement. Jerry had a lifelong love affair with Drum Corps. He was a member of the VFW Post Corps and The Criterions in Newburgh in his youth and a Color Guard Instructor for Circleville Drum and Bugle Corps and the Envoys of Newburgh. He loved attending the local contests and shows. He never missed a local parade. His beloved dogs were an important part of his life. His house always had a spoiled Boston Terrier in it with Dad being the biggest "spoiler" of all. Biscuits will be handed out in heaven! Jerry is survived by three children: Mary with her husband, Gery Selemon of Newburgh, Jerry Whitaker of Walden, and Lois Whitaker of Newburgh; two grandchildren: Michael Selemon and his wife, Ksenia, and Nicholas Selemon; two great grandchildren: Evelyn and Allison Selemon; sister-in-law, Claire Whitaker of Newburgh and many loving nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his wife, Dorothy; infant daughter, Geraldine; brother, Francis "Bud" Whitaker and sister Sheila Oliansky. Visitation will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Monday, January 5th at the Gridley-Horan Funeral Home. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, January 6th at Church of the Most Precious Blood, Walden, NY. Burial will follow in New Prospect Cemetery, Pine Bush, NY. As a proud member of the Orange Hose Fire Department and Most Precious Blood Church, both of Walden, we ask that donations be made in Jerry's name in lieu of flowers.

Posted by Bob Wilson 52   A lifelong resident of Newburgh and Balmville, Barbara (or, "Bunny", as she was known to family, friends and acquaintances for most of her life) was born to Robert J. Wilson (NFA Class of 1921) and the former Margaret E. Jackson of Courtney Avenue in August 1926 at St. Luke's Hospital. During her school years, she lived in the Colonial Terraces with her family and her younger brother Bobby (NJHS Class of 1949), except for three years on Gedney Way in the early 1940's. During her high school days and just after, she worked at Schoonmaker's part time, at the PX at Stewart Field, and later at the Lily of France Company on the Cochecton Turnpike. She attended New Paltz State Teacher's College for one year, in the school year 1944-1945. She met her husband-to-be, Jack Flemming in 1947, and they were married in June, 1948 in the Rectory of St. Mary's Church on South Street. The young couple resided in Syracuse until Jack graduated from college in 1951, while Bunny worked for the Dean of Men there until her first child, Jeffrey Stephen, was born in May, 1951. Her husband Jack went to work for the Gordon Marvel architectural firm following graduation, and the Flemmings lived briefly in an apartment on Vanness Street behind Harold Galloway's Ford Dealership. Their second son, Peter Wilson, was born in March 1953, and they moved at about that time to the Carobene Court apartments. Jack prospered with the Marvel firm, and soon struck off with fellow Marvel architect George Silverman to form the Flemming and Silverman firm in Newburgh. Jack soon built a new home for the growing family on Powelton Circle in Balmville. In July of 1956, son Gregory John was born, and in April, 1958, their fourth child, Lisa Ann, was born. For the remainder of her life, Bunny lived in the Balmville house until her sudden death in early 1989, just over a year after the death of her husband. She left her four children, and is also survived today by seven grandchildren, in Virginia, California and Florida... Bunny was a wonderful mother, and was a generous, tireless and uncomplaining worker for Newburgh community causes throughout her life after her children reached school age, most notably as a volunteer receptionist at St. Luke's Hospital. Twenty years after her death, she is still mourned by her family and her surviving Newburgh friends.
