Very, very sad news.
Ronnie Lancaster
soul mate and husband of Joanne (Isaacs) Lancaster,
devoted father of Michelle and Jennifer, loving
grandfather of three, beloved brother of Paul,
one of the Jones Beach Bums founders and also
one of the most popular members due to his dazzling
good looks, charm and generous spirit...
passed away on Wednesday, March 4th, 2009.
In addition to his loving and adoring wife,
his beloved brothers, his mother, many other
close relatives and a tremendous amount of close
friends, Ronnie leaves behind Jennifer, a 9-year-old
daughter. And we, the Jones Beach Bums, have
decided to create a fund to help her.
UPDATE ON "JENNY'S FUND":
In order to get a NY 529 College Savings program
started,
$1,000 needs to be raised.
NEWS FLASH:
the minimum has been raised!
NOW Jenny can get the benefits of
having a NY 529 College Savings program! Thanks
to all who helped reach this milestone towards
her college fund!
TO ALL WHO HAVEN'T YET AND STILL WISH TO HELP
—
For now, continue to send checks directly to
Joanne's address listed on the directory (in
Jenny's name). When the fund is established,
the new address will be posted
If you don't
remember the password for the directory, contact:
shari@jonesbeachbums.com
PLEASE
NOTE:
Our annual reunion date is the
same and we will meet
at the beach from 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM.
THEN, starting at 3:00
PM on 7/25/09
there will be a fundraiser for "Jenny's
Fund"
The Village Pub
174 North Wellwood Ave.
Lindenhurst, NY 11757
(631) 592-4260
Food, music by our own musicians and amazing
raffles into the night -
a fabulous time for a great cause, in memory
of Ronnie Lancaster.
Please contact Danny Calvagna at dc_tarsus@yahoo.com
if you are
interested in helping out, would like to entertain,
or just have general questions.
