Cutney, John - John was living in Newburgh when he passed away between
1998 and 2001. ......... John, a life long resident of the Town of
Newburgh, passed away at home on January 28, 1999. He was 48 years old.
Saidly enough his father passed away only 2 weeks later at the age of 84.
John is survived by his brother Charles and his nephews Michael and Mathew
Cutney. Probably one of the most opinionated people I have ever known,
most of his friends took it stride because it was John or "Sweat", a
nickname he barely tolerated from only his closest friends. John was one
of the masterminds behind bringing Sly & The Family Stone to NFA and
reminded most of us often, of just that fact. He also scored for seven of
his friends front seats to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young at the
Fillmore East. A show I will never forget and which is partially recorded
on the "4 Way Street" Album.

She was born on January 10, 1951 in Newburgh, NY, the daughter of the late
Bernard and Shirley Slott Toback. Gloria worked as a certified dental
assistant with her husband Dr. Larry Waldman at Gloria Dental, Middletown,
NY. Gloria was the love of my life. Her smile was the most beautiful in
the world, lighting up the room with the special "glow" of hers. Her name
fit her well, she was my "Glorious Gloria". Generous, compassionate,
loyal, loving, and especially forgiving were a few of the virtues this
special women possessed. But she was also a " tough cookie" and watch out
if caught doing the "wrong" thing to her friends or herself. How lucky was
I to be given this beautiful gift from God. Certainly I didn't deserve it!
The long winding road of my crazy life's journey always led back to
Gloria. She was my rock always there to bail "crazy" Larry out of another
jackpot. Gloria was my wife, as well as my certified dental assistant.
Always putting the patient care first, even at the expense of driving her
husband mad! But that was one of the things I loved most about her.
Patients upon entering the operatory, the first question they asked was
"where is Gloria?!!" She was the comforter, their protection from the
"evil" Dr. Waldman! Gloria was an avid dog lover of our Golden
Retriever's: Sunny, Connor, Casper and Stoney, next to me, they were the
luckiest dogs in the world. How she looked and cared for "our boys" only
further illustrated the beauty of her soul. Gloria was a loving and loyal
sister to her brother Charles, sisters Linda and Renee. A better friend
you couldn't ask for. I am devastated by her passing . She will forever be
my " brown -eyed girl". Heartbroken am I and life will never be the same
without her! Love you eternally my Glorious Gloria. She is survived by her
husband, Dr. Larry Waldman at home; her daughter, JoAnne Fitzgerald of
Wurtsboro, NY; her brother, Charles Toback of Newburgh; her two sisters,
Linda Pederson of Syracuse, NY and Renee Woods of Newburgh. Memorial
services will be held at 12 noon on Saturday, August 30th at her home, 45
