      Ball, Gail  "Gab"   Gail passed away while we were still in high school.    October 15, 1942 - May 29, 1960
    Posted by Judi Harris 60   Whenever I think of Gail Ball I see a tall spiritual figure with dark hair, sparkling eyes wearing a long flowing skirt.  Gail was ‘a brain’ musically gifted, good hearted and depicts the girl next door kind of kid.  Her face glowed whenever she spoke of her out of town boyfriend who visited her frequently on weekends. Gail and I excitedly planned to attend Orange County Community College together.  She did not understand why her mother insisted she matriculate at a local college when she desired to go away to school.  All too soon we learned the reason.  Gail had leukemia and her parents wanted her close to home so they could care for her.  Here time was limited, however Gail, nor her friends, knew of the severity of her illness and Gail continued planning her future. A group of Gail’s friends including Sugar Cohen Loeb, Gerry Shapiro Luloff and myself visited her in an Albany hospital where her brother Dr. Richard Ball had privileges.  We brought her a gigantic brown teddy bear that took all of us to carry it awkwardly from the parking lot, through the corridors, up the stairs, into Gail’s room.  It created so much excitement - Gail was delightfully happy to see us. As I recall we did not stay very long, because the nurse demanded that we leave insisting that Gail needed her rest and firmly ushered us out.  Finally one of the parents shared the gravity of Gail’s illness. A week later on May 29, 1960, Gail Aileen Ball, age 17, died in the hospital in Albany, just a mere few weeks shy of prom night and the graduation ceremony. After the funeral I recall that a shaggy stray dog refused to leave the Ball’s front steps of their residents.  Mrs. Ball attempted to shoo it away but the dog hung around.  I have no idea how that situation resolved itself. Gail’s family established a scholarship fund in her memory at NFA and thoughtfully asked a group of her friends for their input as to what type of student should receive this honor.  A bright deserving pupil planning to go into the medical field received the award at the graduation for the class of 1960.When I visit my parents in Cornwall, I pass the home in which Gail lived with her parents, Sylvia Lerner Ball and Marty Ball on Leroy Place.  Her memory is revived and relived with every trip.v>

  •   Besso, Joanne "Joni"  November 6, 1942 – November 6, 1994  ‘No jive,’ this Newburgh raised girl had it all, many friends, a high school diploma, heading for college and the coolest wheels in town - a red and white 56’ Chevy convertible. In 1961 the Reis family opened and operated the Broadway Diner.  Joni frequented the diner hoping to attract the attention of Michael Reis, one of the three sons.  She sat at the counter, mustered up her best flirting techniques, and ordered cokes and cokes and more cokes.  She could not get Mike’s mind off of business and on to her.  One day she decided that desperate times calls for desperate measures and she slightly tapped the rear bumper of his car with the front bumper of her prized red and white convertible. At last Joni got Mr. Michael Reis’s attention. They married in 1963, and had two darling daughters, Beth born in 1965 and Andrea in 1969.    Joni was sick for many years with Multiple Sclerosis finally succumbing to the awful disease on her fifty-second birthday, November 6, 1994 without ever knowing that she would eventually have two grandsons, Jake and Ben.  All through her illness, she maintained her sense of humor and contagious smile. To this day when I think of Joni I see her beaming face.    Joanne Lee Besso Reis now rests in peace at Temple Beth Jacob Cemetery in Newburgh.  Her spirit lives on among those who knew her and loved her.  (By Judi Harris Morse)

Every morning her loving friend and neighbor, Marie Mekeel would share a cup of coffee and check the lotto numbers to see if they had hit it big. Mary Jane is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Paul La Rocca of almost 50 years. The amount of loved shared between them cannot easily be put into words. She was the light of his life.

       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. (Route 32), Town of Newburgh. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, March 15 at 10 a.m. in St. Patrick's Church, 55 Grand St., Newburgh, N.Y., with Monsignor John Budwick officiating. Burial will follow in Gardnertown Cemetery. Memorial donations in Michael's name may be made to the Cronomer Valley Volunteer Fire Department, 296 N. Plank Rd., Newburgh, NY 12550, or Town of Newburgh Volunteer Ambulance Corps, P.O. Box 7163, Newburgh, NY 12550. Arrangements were made by the White & Venuto Funeral Home.

        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.  The night before school started, we talked on the phone, debating whether or not to carry a purse on that first day of school.  (Such were the worries of thirteen-year-old girls in 1957.) 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.

             Plumstead, MaryAnn Hotaling, the town's longtime receiver of taxes in New Windsor, died Monday 1/10/11 at the age of 69. MaryAnn died Monday morning. She was 69 and had suffered from several health issues. She was one of the driving forces behind the town's annual Community Day each September. "I've known her for probably the better part of my adult life," said Supervisor George Green. "She's going to be missed by everyone." Hotaling was first named deputy receiver of taxes in May 1988. The Town Board appointed her receiver of taxes in Oct. 1995, when her predecessor, Marge Madden, retired. Hotaling was elected to fill the final year of Madden's term in Nov. 1996, and to full four-year terms in 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2009. Deputy Receiver of Taxes Susan Scheible will fill Hotaling's shoes until the Town Board appoints a replacement. It was unclear Monday when an election to fill the balance of Hotaling's term might be held.
    Posted by Pauline Rute Hall 52    MaryAnn Plumstead Hotaling, Receiver of Taxes for the Town of New Windsor, passed away on Monday, January 10, 2011, at St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital, Newburgh Campus. She was 68. Daughter of the late Egbert C. and Mary Sutton Plumstead, she was born July 21, 1942 in Cornwall. MaryAnn was a devoted mother, grandmother and aunt who loved fiercely and was loved by so many whom she considered her adopted family. She enjoyed passionately collecting recipes and was an experienced chef and baker of delectable treats that she never failed to share with her family, friends and co-workers. MaryAnn enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, whether by enjoying the flowers in the garden, having cook-outs on the patio, adoring and pampering her cats, Wookiee and Ariel, playing games or by just sitting by the fire having coffee and a good chat. One of her greatest joys she once said was derived by being surrounded by those that she loved and seeing them happy. All Holidays were a remarkable time of great celebration in her home; beautifully filled an abundance of love, decoration and food. She was a thoughtful shopper who found great joy in finding special gifts for her family and friends who without fail were in always her heart. She was beyond completely devoted to her children and her grandchildren, supporting them in every capacity by attending their concerts, theatrical performances, baseball games, school functions, church events or any given endeavor; always encouraging them to pursue their passions and follow their dreams. She was well-known for her charitable nature, generosity and helpful community-minded spirit and took great pride in helping others in need. She donated her time and energy to many causes including the Town of New Windsor Food Pantry, Senior Citizen Proms and by volunteering for the town's recreation department at the Summer Concert Series' in New Windsor. She was a great supporter of the arts and arts education; a common site in the audience of a multitude of performances, productions or events in the area. Her drive to bring Just Off Broadway, Inc., a theatrical company, where her son, Richard, got his start was her latest and greatest passion. She was truly elated for the company's prospects to return to the area and wished to encourage her fellow residents to be excited as she was and support the company that brought so much joy and laughter to her life. MaryAnn was a certified member of the New York State Association of Tax Receivers and Collectors and Secretary and Treasurer Orange County Tax Receivers Association. She also was a member of the Orange County Republican Committee. MaryAnn loved the Town of New Windsor and its residents. Being such a family orientated woman, she was driven to maintain the safety and quality of our community. She served on the Beautification Committee to ensure the attractiveness of the town was maintained and was instrumental to the Holiday Committee who decorate the town with cheerful, festive decorations for the holidays. She was a supporter of and helped coordinate the planting of the memorial trees around New Windsor Town Hall. MaryAnn served as treasurer of the New Windsor Special Events Committee and was a driving force behind New Windsor Community Day, working tirelessly organizing the highly successful event held for the last two years. She organized the New Windsor Neighborhood Watch Group and was an avid supporter of the New Windsor Volunteer Fire Department. She will be greatly missed and an inspiration to all who knew her. We know her loving soul will live on within us always. She is survived by her loving children, Helene Hotaling-McCaffrey of Putnam Valley and Richard C. Hotaling of New Windsor; grandchildren, Patrick R. McCaffrey and Victoria E. McCaffery of Putnam Valley; sister and brothers-in-law, Patty and Butch Heller of New Windsor, Norma and Ronny Hotaling of New Windsor; cousins, Sandy Santoro and her daughters, Lisa and Val, and Peter Brouwer; many nieces and nephews, including, Brenda Hotaling and her daughter, Ava Pagentine, Pam and Edgar Berrios and their children, Cierra and Kayla of New Windsor, Kristina and Katarina Paz, Jonathan Heller of New Windsor, Howard and Melissa Heller and their family of Florida, Kenny Heller of Upstate New York, Lori Heller and her family of Albany; special friends and family, Jim Pilmeier, Kristen Miller-Rohlfs and her children, Skye and Hunter, and Mrs. Claire Mott.

    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.
