Facebook Tributes to Guinan's, St. Patrick's Day 2010

These comments were just a few of the warm sentiments posted on Facebook by "parishioners" on St. Patrick's Day, 2010, in honor of Jim Guinan, his family and the Guinan's Pub & Country store. First posting was mine, the rest are responses. Cheers everyone.

"Happy High Holy Day to all parishioners...and a toast to the late high priest himself, Jim Guinan. This day a year ago was the last time most of us saw you."

Oh my gosh. I'm embarrassed. It seems my 1 year old was commenting on your photo. She snuck up to our computer table and started typing away. Mucho apologies, and cheers to you and the late Mr. Guinan.

In Jims name we lift up a pint to him and all of the parishioners at the "Chapel!" and another in Wendy's
honor this Paddy's Day for inviting us to come and pray at
the chapel---even if only vicariously. Slante'

Wendy. I told you that Jim was my first employer. I was one of his "yacht sharp dock boys". He was also part of my father's golf foresome with Tip Dain and WhitneyTravis. I'm tipping an Irish whiskey shot this evening for him.

A drop is spilt to share, in loving memory those who have passed before us. For Family, Friend and those we've known only briefly and yet they remain in our mind remembered. With Love and a tear we raise the cup and welcome them all home once more in memory and in person. Grab a seat and join us in the song as our hearts become one. For those in the"Chapel" and whereever you find it.Slante'

John Guinan: 1952 to 2008

Image
John Guinan died last night after a long, and extraordinarily brave fight with brain cancer. He is survived by his wife Mary Jane, children Sean, Kelly and Casey, granddaughter Zoe, his siblings Margaret, Christine and Jimmy and his father Jim. Your notes and calls to John over the past 18 months have meant more than you'll ever know. Rarely does someone hear such widespread affection from so many corners of the world. He deserved all of the love but took none of it for granted. And he changed many lives, my own included, in big and small ways. The family will hold a wake from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday: Clinton Funeral Home 21 Parrott Street Cold Spring, NY 10516 (845) 265-3333 John's funeral will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday: Our Lady of Loretto 24 Fair Street Cold Spring, NY 10516 (845) 265-3781 In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to Braking the Cycle and Team Guinan. This link will take you directly to Team Guinan's donation...

James Guinan died last night at Tampa University Community Hospital following complications from a chest cold. He was 83 years old. Jim was with his daughters Christine and Margaret, his son-in-law Mike and some of his grandchildren. His friends and family in the Hudson Highlands were fortunate to have seen him here in "God's Country," as he called it, around St. Patrick's Day. The family is still working out details and timing of the memorial services, and I will update everything here when they are ready, but here is the information they have so far. They thank everyone for their thoughts, good wishes and prayers: Visitation: Monday, April 13th and Tuesday April 14th Clinton Funeral Home 21 Parrott Street, Cold Spring, NY 10516(845) 265-3333 2-4PM and 7-9PM (both days) Funeral and Mass: Wednesday, April 15th Our Lady of Loretto 24 Fair Street, Cold Spring, NY 10516(845) 265-3781 10AM Interment to follow at the Cold Spring Cemetery He was the Mayor of Garrison, he ...
