Flemming, Ralph "Tom" May 24, 1942 Died July 15, 1999
Posted by Jon Richard Flemming Tom was my brother. He died in 1999 of ALS after 6 years with it. He had 2 children Molley and Brendan. He was in admissions (AST Director) at University of Albany for some 35 years and also was a teacher at Cornwall for a short time. He was a member of the key club (and others) at NFA and was a really good ball player in his early years. He graduated from OCC and SUNY Albany.
Foster, John "Johnny Cake" Response to the nephew of John Foster I knew Johnny Foster well. As many of you know, I played music at times with him, and although we had separate bands, we were great friends. Each of our bands participated in a N.Y. State Band Contest in Bath, NY in 1959. We had a great time there staying in a hotel for 3 nights. Neither of our bands won, but it was a very interesting event for us young folks. I can remember coming to NFA in the morning. Each day, Johnny was playing the piano and singing in front of the stage for at least 20-30 minutes. Often 50-75 kids were present to listen to him, and to get the morning started in high gear. They were fun times and I can remember them vividly.......... I hadn't seen Johnny again after graduation from NFA. Many years passed, and when I returned to Newburgh I unfortunately heard the sad news that he had passed away. I attended his funeral at Ebenezer Church in Newburgh. Rev. Saul Williams was the pastor and gave a powerful and meaningful eulogy. Johnny had been very active in this church as a young boy when he still lived in Newburgh. There were so many people attending the funeral. All the seats were filled and people over flowed out into the street. Tears flowed throughout the room as people remembered this great person. He was truly a musical genius who had perfect pitch. I don't know how he originally learned to play piano, but he did it so well. I never heard that he took lessons, and I believe he just taught himself.......... I'm not sure if he attended Julliard School of Music. I had the impression that he was on tour with Ray Charles when he died in England. I cannot be sure about that. It is possible he was with Roberta Flack as well, or perhaps I had it wrong. In any case, he was definitely in England playing piano and participating in various concerts.. It was reported that he had a heart attack while on tour, and then his body was flown back to Newburgh............. Johnny inspired me in so many ways and I continue to have great memories of our days together. I believe that if he did not die so young and he had the opportunity to continue his career, he would have become a very famous entertainer, perhaps one of the greatest that Newburgh has produced. Even so, his short life and his music have touched the lives of countless people here and abroad.

Grieco, Dom A. My brother Dom passed away 10/3/07 after a very long, hard fought battle with Fabry's Disease and Bone Cancer. Dom studied his very rare disease to the point he knew more about it than the doctors. Dom and his wife of 42 years, June Sutton (Marlboro), were residing in Boynton Beach, FL at the time of his death. He was retired from Cisco Systems in San Jose, CA. Private services were held for the family in Boynton Beach, Fl on Saturday, 10/13.............................Unfortunately Dom lost his battle with Fabry's and bone cancer on 10/3/2007 while at his home in Boynton Beach, FL. A few months ago Dom had computed the odds of one person having both of these diseases. It was 1.6 per 6.5 Billion! He realized then that made him the rarest person in the world. Of course that is one of the many things his family already knew.Posted by Dom Colotti'48..... Dominick A. Grieco, 65, of Boynton Beach, FL passed away on October 3, 2007. A Cremation Service of the Palm Beaches. Published in the Sun-Sentinel on 10/7/2007
Posted by Bill Norvell 65 Here is some information that Dom had placed on the internet a while back.
Dom Grieco Age: 65 California
About Me:....... Originally from New York, my wife June, of 33 years,
and I have lived in many places on the east coast. We have no children
so moving has been easy for us. I work in the hi tech industries (Bell
Labs, IBM, Stratus Computers and Cisco Systems. I had planned to work
"forever", but, Fabry has shortened that a bit and I am now on
disability. June and I just bought an older home on Monterey Bay and we
are in the midst of remodeling it. With luck it will be ready in a
couple of months............Symptoms:....... Fortunatly I don't share
all of the awful effects and symptoms that most Fabry's patients have. I
have the variant described by Dr Nakao etal in their August 1996 paper
of the New England Journal of Medicine. What I do have is a cardiac
problem (cardiomyopathy). I've been through bouts of arythmia,
fribulation and now shortness of breath. I had a pacemaker installed
last April and that helped with everything except the breathing
problems. The next step is a cardiac transplant. I am currently "on the
list" at UCSF. Since I don't have the typical symptoms of Fabry, it took
a long time to diagnose the problem. It was finally confirmed at
Stanford with a cardiac biopsy. I show no skin or eye problems, but, my
kidneys are showing some signs of changing. I've been to NIH for
examinations by Drs. Brady and Schiffmann and I hope to go back for the
phase 2 tests. Advice:......I found out that in my case I need to
talk about it with others. I will talk to anyone who will listen! I've
also discovered that you need to educate your health providers about
Fabry. when I'm about to see a new doctor I bring in the literature from
NIH. I really felt good when I went to an opthamologist for an exam an
he had his textbook out and opened to Fabry's Disease.
Hobbies:......... Computers, walking the ocean shore and photography. We
also have two dogs. A thirteen year old Yorkshire terrier and a three
year old Maltese..........Goals:......... I don't know. I was diagnosed
with Fabry's almost a year ago and it has turned my world upside down.
I've been so busy trying to pickup the pieces that I haven't had a
chance to think about this.

He was also Vice President at Stratus Computers in Marlborough, MA. He then went on to Cisco Systems as Head of Production Assurance. Dom fought a gradually debilitating form of Fabry's Syndrome for almost ten years. Finally it was compounded by an even rarer cancer, a "pheo". Dom was uniquely interested in people, he was always on a first name basis with everyone from the Sr. VP to the custodian. He remained alert, curious and numeric all these years. A few months ago Dom computed the odds of one person having both those diseases. It was 1.6 per 6.5 billion. He realized it made him the rarest person on earth. Little did he know, but that is what his family always felt about him. A private service with June, Beverly, friends and Dom's two canine pals, Riley & Sudi, was held on the balcony of his condo overlooking the Ocean and Intercoastal Waterway, a place Dom loved to be sitting doing cross-word puzzles and reading. June & Beverly each released a ballon in his memory. In lieu of flowers, Memorial Contributions may be made to Hospice, Palm Beach County, 5300 E Avenue West Palm Beach, FL 33407

Maher, Michael V. a retired President of Liberty House Coffee, Inc. and longtime resident of Newburgh, died Sunday, March 12, 2006 at St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital, Newburgh Campus. He was 63. Son of the late Vincent and Elizabeth Roche Maher, he was born May 13, 1942 in Newburgh, N.Y. Mike was always the quiet one; never in the spotlight; low key. Very little bothered him, and if it did, he still would not tell you. He would like getting up in the morning with the paper and his coffee and turning on the news: FOX, CNN or Headline - he didn't care so long as there was news. When he got tired of watching it home in the kitchen, he would trek over to the firehouse and watch some more. He could tell you about every accident, fire, uprising, arrest, weather event, politician, stock market numbers, televised trial or science fact. He never had enough information. When you bought him a book on a large building, specific locale or event, such as Hurricane Katrina, he would always find the small, pertinent facts that would intrigue you. He worked for Stauffer Chemical Co. back in the 60's and went to work for T.O. Miller in the early 70's to 1981. He then became a partner and President of Liberty House Coffee Inc. until his retirement in 1994. He wasn't retired for too long before his son, Michael, persuaded him to come to work for him installing plumbing and heating for new homes he was building. By 1999, he was delivering police cars over the tri-state area for Bell Herring Emergency Equipment part-time. he would then work part-time with some old friends driving cars for the Newburgh Auto Auction, which he did up until last fall, when he got sick. He would enjoy his nightly outings to the Ground Round with his wife of nearly 44 years, Barbara, to meet and chat with the bartenders and other patrons they befriended over the past years. He enjoyed going away, whether it be to Lake George, the casinos or Florida and Vegas - but only until he missed his grandchildren, which only took a day or two. Yes, the grandchildren were always very special to him. You could always tell how he adored them by the way he talked about them or asked where they were, and he was lovingly known as "Poppy". A parishioner of St. Patrick's Church in Newburgh, he was also a member of the Cronomer Valley Fire Department since 1980, and was twice President of the Company. He was a member of the Orange County Volunteer Fireman's Association; the Hudson Valley Volunteer Fireman's Association; and Knights of Columbus #444. He was appointed over ten years ago to serve on the Town of Newburgh Zoning Board of Appeals, and sat on the Traffic Committee for the Town of Newburgh Master Plan Update. He was a longtime member of the Town of Newburgh Conservative Party. He is survived by his wife, Barbara Thayer Maher, whom he married on June 17, 1962. She survives at home. He is further survived by his son, Michael Maher and his wife, Magrit, of Newburgh; two daughters, Michele Newcomb and her husband, Keith, and their children, Jessica Elizabeth and Kevin Michael, all of Newburgh, and Melissa Maher and her daughter, Tegan Thayer Maher, of Newburgh; many nieces and nephews; and beloved dogs: "Kaci" and "Jake" who he referred to as his other grandchildren. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Robert Maher.Visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 14 from 4-8 p.m. at the White & Venuto Funeral Home, 188 North Plank Rd.

Orr, Howard "Butch" .... Aug., 1942 - Jun. 22, 1995... I was a co-workers at the New York State Thruway where Butch was a Heavy Equipment Operator in the Highway Maintenance Department based at Newburgh New York and later at the East Fishkill New York maintenance sections. Butch was married with several children and lived not far from the main entrance to the Stewart Airport in Newburgh, NY. He was the owner of a large motor home and delighted in spending his free time sightseeing in it with his family. He injured one of his legs at work one day and though it didn't appear to be a serious injury at the time (I was working with him when the injury happened) it apparently was much more serious than originally believed. The injury led to a period of time when he was required to stay off of the leg and keep it elevated. Eventually the leg began to swell up and Butch was admitted to St. Luke's Hospital in Newburgh, NY for treatment of Phlebitis. It had been my intention to stop at the hospital to say hello after work one day but on that day I was assigned to a job in which I got particularly dirty and by the end of the day I was in no condition to do anything other than go home and shower. A visit to any place, particularly a hospital where sanitary conditions were of particular importance, was out of the question in the condition that I was in when leaving work. When I arrived at home, before jumping in the shower, I phoned Butch at the hospital to let him know that I would not be visiting that afternoon and the reason for the change of plans, and I mentioned also that I'd try to reschedule my visit for the following day. He sounded upbeat when I talked to him and even mentioned that he was apparently doing well enough that the doctors may be releasing him from the hospital the following day, mentioning that if I was going to visit that day I should check before coming to see if he was at the hospital or at home. Shortly before seven o'clock the same evening, only three hours after I had spoken to him on the phone and while Butch's wife was visiting, a blood clot apparently broke loose in his injured leg, traveled to his heart and Butch's life end in a matter of seconds
Overbey, Gayle - Gayle and I became friends just before starting in seventh grade at North Junior High.

After graduation from NFA, Gayle attended Purdue University in Indiana. While there, she met her future husband, William (Bill) English. They were married soon after she graduated from Purdue in 1964. In April of 1972, Gayle suddenly became ill and, sadly, died shortly thereafter. Her sisters were also NFA graduates: Virginia in the class of 1958 and Dian in the class of 1961. Dian Overbey named her daughter “Gayle," in memory of her sister.

Posted by Judi Harris 60 A memory for Marilyn Weisblatt NFA 1960.....Marilyn yearned for a puppy in the worst way but her parents sternly told her that she could not have an animal. If you knew Marilyn then you knew that when she made up her mind no one could persuade her differently...... In those days we all listened to ‘The Breakfast Club,’ a popular radio program on W.G.N.Y. A portion of the show included a ‘Breakfast Trivia.’ The commentator randomly called their listening public to give away prizes for the correct answers to questions........ As coincidence would have it my dog Pouchy had recently delivered a liter of 8 pups in need of good homes. Of course Marilyn marked a particularly cute puppy as hers but was not allowed to bring him home...........She persuaded a friend, Jerry Grodnick, (NFA’57) with a deep voice, to call her Dad pretending to be the anchorman of ‘The Breakfast Club’ and he asked her father a history question. As soon as the answer left Mr. Weisblatt’s lips the commentator announced with a background of bangs, whistles and hollering that he won an eight week old pup including a week’s supply of dog food. Our cheers cancelled out his explicitly loud protests. Early that evening we stealthily crept to the Weisblatt’s front door carefully placing a sleeping pup in a dolls basinet surrounded by dog food...........Marilyn got her pet and I, another high school memorable memory of Marylyn.

Wulffert, John Lawrence - Second Lieutenant 525TH MI GRP, USARV Army of the United States. 07 September 1942 - 23 December 1967. Newburgh, New York Panel 32E Line 053
Little is known about the circumstances of Lieutenant Wullfert's death - not even his unit assignment within the 525th Military Intelligence Group. Intelligence officers quite commonly worked closely with the MACV Advisory Teams and circumstances as known make it possible that 2LT Wullfert was in the field with MACV Advisory Team 91, Binh Duong Province. If so, he most probably was killed in an action that also cost the lives of two MACV Advisors - SFC Bobby J. Lawrence of Mayfield, KY, and SGT Hugh G. Willard of Orangeburg, SC.
Posted by Fats on December 01, 2005 John, It’s been 45 years since we last saw each other in the halls of Newburgh Free Academy enjoying our youth. Since I came home from my Navy tour I have often thought of you and have kept you in my prayers, especially on our Veterans and Memorial days. They have so much meaning to me these days as I remember you and say my prayers. Your old friends and classmates will never forget you. You were always the quiet one, never wanting to attract too much attention but you always had a warm smile for all of us. I want to thank you for defending our freedom in a time when that wasn’t important to a lot of Americans. These were the same patriots that waved flags and cheered when 52 hostages arrived in Newburgh from Iran in the 80’s. Not a one of them was around for you or the other Vets when they came home from Nam. Some things can take a lifetime to be forgotten or forgiven. May the perpetual light always shine upon you my friend.
