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)

Campilii, Mary Jane La Rocca was called unexpectedly home to Heaven on

everyone she touched. She was born July 15, 1942 in Newburgh, to loving
mother, Susie Laganaro. She graduated from Newburgh Free Academy in 1960
and kept close relationships with many friends she had made throughout
school. Mary Jane was a devoted and beloved daughter, and a wonderful
wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and cousin. She was also a true friend to
so many throughout her life. Mary Jane's home was a reflection of herself,
a happy and comforting place for all who entered - a place where you were
always welcome and always felt "at home". Friends and family, young and
old, would gather frequently to share laughter, good food (especially her
sauce), and moments that would become lifetime memories for so many. Mary
Jane was an amazing woman with a beautiful and contagious smile. You could
not help but feel happy when you were around "Mary Jane". Mary Jane was an
avid writer of poetry, who often penned poems for friends and family that
would be cherished and remembered forever. Mary Jane was happiest being
with her family, especially her grandchildren. She was no ordinary
grandmother and wanted to see "her girls" every day. Grandma loved to
tickle her girls and make each girl their own special meal that only
Grandma could make. She loved to spend her free time in Atlantic City,
playing the slots with her dear friend, Nancy Schaustal and niece, Toni
Shaughnessy. 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. She is
also survived by her adoring daughters, Susan Aulogia and her husband,
Joe, Sherri O'Donnell and her husband, Michael; loving granddaughters:
Alexandra O'Donnell, Sydney O'Donnell, Gabrielle O'Donnell and Sophia
Aulogia, all of Newburgh. She is also survived by her Uncle John Laganaro;
loving nieces: Laurie and Paula Colacchio, Teresa Secreto, and many other

Flemming,
Ralph "Tom" May 24, 1942 Died July
15, 1999 
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

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

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.
