Irene M. Faldetta, St. Rose of Lima "Wagon Wheeler," at 97 - Amityville Record

Each recalls many fond childhood memories growing up on Long Island. “I remember that mom would wait on the Hicksville Road lottery line every year to win tickets to the C.W. Post Christmas Show,” said Janice. “She always went the extra mile to ensure that we had a memorable child­hood.” “Mom loved watching the Islanders play hockey and was a huge fan,” said Ann. “Those of us away from home would receive articles in the mail that she would clip from Newsday about local Long Island events and happen­ings, including the Islander’s game statistics. Of course, this was pre-Internet, but when she learned to use email, we would frequently receive her thoughtful e-greetings sent over ‘the Net’.” “I can remember go­ing to the Westbury Music Fair to see shows and to see the circus with my parents, but nothing could beat the many days we spent at Marjorie Post Park pools or at the beach!” said Laura. Mrs. Faldetta even­tually took the civil service exam, becom­ing employed as a le­gal secretary for the County Attorney’s of­fice in Westbury where she worked until she retired. In addition to spending time with her children, Mrs. Faldetta enjoyed the company of friends, with whom she shared her passions for faith, music and dancing. Many of her friends were members of The Park Players, a community theatre group in which her late husband performed. “Mom and her friends would frequent Tobay Beach on summer afternoons,” said Laura. “They would have late picnics while enjoying the sunset after all the crowds had gone.” Mrs. Faldetta faithfully attended mass at St. Rose of Lima in Massapequa and was considered an original “Wagon Wheeler” of the church. She was also a member of the local Homemakers Club, attending many com­munity service events and “Mystery Trips” with her late husband and other like-minded senior adventurers. Known as the family Jeopardy and crossword puzzle champion, Mrs. Faldetta loved books and poetry, recit­ing countless lines of long poems until her final days. She held a distinct advantage since her second ‘language’ was Latin, which she learned in grade school. “She also often watched and fed the birds, and particu­larly enjoyed the Fall when she could look at the chang­ing environment and collect colorful leaves”, said Janice. Mrs. Faldetta was predeceased by her husband John P. Faldetta, who died on Aug. 18, 2014, and by her four siblings Dorothy Rice, Robert Fennelly, Joan Schappe, and Earl Fennelly. She is survived by her s...

My Turn: Hicksville has changed since wartime childhood

I was 3 years old when we moved to Hicksville from the Lower East Side of New York City. My father was a baker; my mother left her job at Simplicity Patterns, and we rented the three-bedroom, two-story house on Richard Street, a block behind Broadway. The year was 1941 and my father found a job at Just-Rite Bakery on Broadway. My sister and brother were born in the mid-1940s.Dominating a whole block on Broadway was St. Ignatius Church, rectory, school and convent. Broadway was a two-lane avenue packed with stores on both sides including Heuttner’s and Larry’s department stores, Buster Brown Shoes, delicatessens, bakeries, stationery stores, hardware stores and banks. The Sweet Shop served ice cream at the counter, as did Scheiner’s Drugstore and Lindemann’s. Doctors, dentists and lawyers had offices above the stores. The surrounding farms fueled Hicksville’s economy at the time. Stores were open on Saturday nights when the farmers came to town to shop.Most PopularWorld War II began soon after we moved to Hicksville. My... (Newsday)

Remembrance, reflection 15 years after Sept. 11 attack

OK.” On Saturday, Gujral, her parents, her husband and their children gathered at the Gurdwara Guru Nanak Darbar, a Sikh temple in Hicksville, to mark the end of a three-day prayer ceremony in which all the verses in the holy book were recited nonstop by a team of readers. The recitations began Thursday, with Gujral’s parents in attendance. “In our religion, it brings the soul peace,” she said. “And it gives us our peace of mind, too.” Narula worked as a data processor at Cantor Fitzgerald. Mona, as she was known to friends and family, had been employed there for less than a year when the terrorist attack occurred. “I have two girls. I see her in them every day,” said Gujral, who is pregnant with her fourth child. “My son, his hugs are exactly the same as Mona’s hugs. When he hugs you, he forms that connection with you.” But among some family members, the grief still can provoke a range of responses. For Patti Ann Valerio of West Hempstead, the sorrow compels her to speak and read names at as many events as she can in honor of her brother, Matthew James Grzymalski. Grzymalski, 34, of New Hyde Park, and his girlfriend Kaleen Pezzuti, 28, of Fair Haven, New Jersey, were working together as bond brokers for Cantor Fitzgerald. Sometimes Valerio’s husband, Joe, a retired FDNY firefighter, attends the events, including the Nassau County remembrance, to support his wife. But most days, Valerio would rather not remember Sept. 11, 2001, at all. “I was down there at the time of 9/11. It wasn’t a nice day,” Valerio said. “It’s something that’s very difficult to go through every year.” Valerio, 55, was working in Manhattan that morning and was called to the scene. He arrived at 11 a.m., about a half-hour after the north tower collapsed. He can’t forget the rest of that day or talk much about it either. He prefers to avoid visiting Ground Zero, a pilgrimage his wife makes each year. In 15 years, the landscape looks different — the reflecting pools catch the sunlight, the names of the victims are beautifully etched on the panels surrounding the pools. But there’s another landscape in Valerio’s mind, too. “Sometimes I go down there to the memorial and it’s tough for me,” he said. “I look around and it’s so nice now, but I remember.” ... (Newsday)

Proud grandfather, veteran joins parade

In 1954, my parents bought our family home in Hicksville. Like most World War II veterans, my dad, Frank Portuese, joined the local Veterans of Foreign Wars group, the William M. Grouse Jr. Post No. 3211. When I was growing up, our family would set up folding chairs outside St. Ignatius Loyola Church and watch the Memorial Day Parade proceed along Route 107 in Hicksville. We’d ask Dad why he never marched with the other veterans. He served in the Army in France and England. My siblings and I knew Dad was wounded in World War II, but we never knew more than the fact that his injury prevented him from walking long distances. He didn’t like to talk about the war. Most Popular We reminded him that the post had a car that disabled veterans could ride in. He said that was for the men who were more seriously injured. Dad didn’t feel right taking a seat. When he was 65 in 1988, we told him as a senior citizen, he could ride in the car. “Nope,” he said, that was for the older men. CartoonsCartoons: Saluting our veteransDon't miss outSign... (Newsday)
