Dearest Kathleen and family,
We are so sorry for you to learn of Mr. Sweeney's passing, but we are just as sorry for ourselves. We always looked forward to seeing the gentleman, Mr. Sweeney, his smile (reflected in the patent leathers), his irascible charm, and a good word for my husband and a Jersey City memory for me. Mr. Sweeney and my husband had a respect for each other in business, but he was otherwise kind and generous; Giants tickets? Rangers? A boat? For me, he enjoyed regaling me with stories of my own dear old Dad's football greatness while they were contemporaries in Jersey City rival high schools. My mom, a Marist Mother from the 70s, has great memories of Mr. Sweeney and The Casino in the Park, and also sends her sincere sympathies (and had great memories as well!). When I think back at how generous Mr. S. was with the community, my dad, Ted Lukachyk and Sandy Hook LL, the schools, and anyone who needed anything, I can only hope that he knew how much he was loved and appreciated. He will be missed.
With sympathy, Donald and Barbara Hauser (nee, Lukachyk)
