Woman Sees McDonald’s Worker In Back Corner With Disabled Man,
Acts Fast
Posted on September 24, 2015 by Amanda Shea
*** begin quote ***
When a Chicago woman stopped by McDonald’s to grab a bite to eat
after work, she had no idea what she was about to witness. She
caught a cashier in the back corner with a disabled elderly man,
who probably thought nobody was looking, but she saw it all and
acted immediately.
Destiny Carreno was waiting her turn in line to order her food
when the unnamed elderly man, who struggled with a disability,
came up to the counter and asked the cashier an unexpected
question. The employee paused briefly, confused by what the man
was requesting, then suddenly shut down his station and went to
the corner where the older gentleman had gone back to sit down.
Destiny watched for a moment, confused by what the cashier was
doing, leaving his station in the middle of rush hour in downtown
Chicago. She said in a Facebook post on the incident that she had
heard the man politely say to the employee at the counter, “Help
me please,” but she couldn’t immediately tell what he needed help
with. Then, she witnessed what the worker did, and it took her
completely by surprise.
The handicapped man, who was at the restaurant by himself, simply
needed help cutting and eating his food. Destiny described in her
post what happened next, and it had her quickly taking a picture
of the moment with tears in her eyes.
*** end quote ***
I hope I can be that sensitive to a fellow human being’s needs.
I wonder how many people gripped at having to wait a little
longer.
Hope McD’s put this in their advertisements.
I pray that good things happen to this young man.

MOBIT: Strosser, George E. [MCmight_have_been RIP] on 2015-Sep-30
2015-Oct-04http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignity-memorial/obituary.aspx?n=George-Strosser&lc=7342&pid=175991725&mid=6618117
In Memory of
George E Strosser
January 8, 1923 - September 30, 2015
Obituary
George Strosser, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle, -in law, neighbor, fellow worker and friend passed away Wednesday, 3 months shy of his 93rd birthday.
George (born in Ossining hospital) was a life long resident of the town of Cortlandt; residing in Buchanan 70 years; attended Peekskill high school, where he excelled in football, co captained the 1940 team; was going to play for Manhattan College, when his father, Alfred Strosser (a prior light weight boxer from the Lancaster Pa, area) died suddenly. His mother, Florence Styles's from Astoria Queens; graduated Hunter College.
George married the late Inza Gilman of Buchanan in 1942 (who pre-deceased him by 32 years, 9 months).
He volunteered for the WWII draft and was inducted in the United States Army where he served at West Point; teaching enlisted men and cadets to drive transport vehicles.
George and Inza had two children, Susan Strosser (Keon), Bridgeport Ct. and Kim Strosser, Sunnyside Queens.
Dividing his time between work, family and building his own home (initially), when the war ended. George was Lead Man, working shift work at Fleishmans, Standard Brands for 36 years, where he held positions as president and secretary of the Yeast Makers Local Union. He worked week ends (1 and 1/2 days) ~57 years for Curran and Rileys-Cole's-Buchanan Hardware store. Part time days ~10 years, as a Laborer, for Frank Santulli (dec.) Construction, (while working 2nd and 3rd shifts); 11 years for Hendrick Hudson High School District, as a custodian (upon retiring); and 3 years for Combined Books, waiting to get on with the school. As exhausting as it may sound; on waking George (taking a cat nap), wanting him to do something, he'd get right up, without complaint, and simply say ok.
George enjoyed having picnics for family and friends. Helping his wife in her hobby, planting the whole front yard with her perennials; flowers in the Spring, rotating with a vegetable garden; watching Sports on TV; but more, his grandson, Patrick Keon (Longmont Co.) pitching in baseball games (George attending, most all); or visiting with his granddaughter and her daughters, Mrs. Delilah Keon-Heyman (Trumbull, Ct.).
In later years George would help his then dec. wife's elderly widowed aunt and sister; taking them places, doing work around their homes. Also his son-in laws. George’s son, Kim, living home 10 years after his mother' passing, keeping George company; upon moving, for years took George to the Best Restaurants in NYC (visiting sites after).
His devoted daughter' Susan Strosser's loving care these last 14 years was a comfort to George. Visiting faithfully, doing everything for her father; (as he use to, for her). "He was the best father". His very good friend Wayne visiting, standing by him throughout George’s long illness. Helping him, us. George very much enjoyed visiting with his son; his granddaughter's holiday family dinners, with all his great granddaughters; seeing his grandson when he came in; and his niece Gioia's letters in the VA.
George, Loving: great grandfather to Arielle, Miranda, Lilah, Jolie, Casey and Elise Heyman; and Julia Keon; brother to Robert Strosser, Phoenix Az;. Alfred (dec). Loving uncle to.Robert Strosser Jr., Medford Or., Leonard Grasso Jr.(dec.), Tyrone Lou (and Barbara) Menga (both dec.),Kathy (Strosser) Buchwald, Azzusa Ca, Gioia Grasso (Dick) Cattabriga, Raymond (Nancy) Gilman, Jr., Donny Menga (dec.), Donny Gilman, (dec.) Deborah Gilman (John) Cassidy, James (Gerilyn) Gilman, Shawnee Grasso (Larry) Moschiano. Nancy(Strosser) Crimmins (dec.) John (Nancy) Gilman and Paulie Gilman (dec.). Brother In Law to Rachael (Gilman) Grasso (dec.), Leonard Grasso Sr (dec.), Don( Pauline dec.)Gilman Sr. (dec.), Rhoda Menga, Lancaster Pa., Louis Menga Sr. (dec.), Raymond (Marjorie dec.) Gilman Sr. Father-In Law to Thomas Keon. (Great)father-in law to Joel Heyman and Alicia (Berger) Keon.
The family wish to Thank All of George's neighbors, fellow workers, friends, the NYS Veterans Home staff; Dr. Reyher for helping, supporting George in winning his severe battle for 14 years, that he valiantly waged, as a Diabetic Amputee. He enjoyed everyone's camaraderie over all the years. Your prayers are appreciated.

I would carry it as it says "was going to play for Manhattan College when his father . . .
died suddenly . . " It appears that as a result he never made it to Manhattan.

Good Morning All,
John Reinke, Jasper Jottings, came upon this good man and although he was not a Jasper, his intention was to play ball for Manhattan College and attend Manhattan. Upon the sudden death of George's Father, George's plans changed and he was unable to join the Jasper Family but with respect, we pray for the repose of his soul and for his Family as they mourn the loss of their loved one. His Family have posted the following loving tribute. Thank you. God Bless.

John H. Banks III is no fan of the necktie. He comes from a working-class family, and he enjoys doing things where the Windsor knot would be out of place, like going to a Yankees game or tending his garden.
His down-to-earth approach, along with his frankness and political adeptness, are a good fit with his new job as president of the Real Estate Board of New York, said people who know him and those who helped select him.

My cup runneth over.... Manhattan Prep-sirs are diverse and accomplished... And prayer power is the right path.
When I return to Texas my doctor will do additional blood work and tests for final confirmation... When CLL is caught early and the patient has a strong immune system many can manage it for years or decades...
As a physician's daughter I understand how medical disorders mimic each other --especially in the beginning stages... So I am waiting till I am lucky enough for a good scenario and that it's nothing worse...
Right now fatigue is my most difficult symptoms as I've been trying to complete moving... So specific prayer on fatigue issues would help me the most. Thank you for the prayer power.
If your classmate George was still here then I could tell him that I have one of my very good feelings about this and that would make him feel very assured...

Please don't forget our 1st born, Nicholas! George was the envy of every father that week... He had the largest first born baby that was male!! --I heard the fathers making football jokes when they were wheeling the babies in the hallway... One father said you got a linebacker... In that hallway they all sounded like teenage boys.... George had such a smile and his chest was up and out like a peacock.... The morning we were checking out I told George --it's a good thing we have to check out --because another baby has been born that weighs a couple of ounces more than Nicolas --so you lose your standing! There's nothing more funny than real life!
And that boy was born in St. John's Riverside Hospital Yonkers, New York --but we were living up the road from Manhattan College and practically across the street from the college dorm, so we just went right up the Sawmill Parkway when I went into labor...
This meant he was conceived about as close as you could be to Manhattan College and every morning George's mother was working at Manhattan College in charge of all those chemicals and working with the chemistry professors as the NYU's Bronx Campus had been sold... That was the only infant I ever saw strolled on the Manhattan campus... When the mother's a Southerner then the security guard lets you go anywhere after hearing the sound of her accent.... Mrs. Sem and George had great times during those 5 years we lived there... And I loved the campus being close to us...

Well, I have a last comment. So you know about Georgia's daughter... And George had a special moment as a father when what he told me a special fact about being the mother of this little girl.
George was very surprised --and his mother said the same is true for George's father ---because when he got a girl his heart were captured... He was blessed with a beautiful little girl named Katherine. And her strong will and tenacity were evident from the moment she was born --when she insisted on holding up her own head and got extremely irritated if you tried to help her. My nurse mother said that is completely abnormal and newborn infants cannot control their muscular movements yet. I told my mother that it must be an automatic reflex mother that was genetically implanted in this newborn infant.
George just started working for Bank of Boston, so we drove from Boston to Nashua, New Hampshire in Winter on Christmas Eve/Day when I went into labor for her birth. That fact is important to NYC Manhattan Prep-Sirs as there was no state tax in Hampshire then, so all of you alumni can imagine George's happiness over that fact. And of course that would be the place we would soon be moving into with Georgia's new job and in the middle of my pregnancy.
Manhattan Prep-Sirs will appreciate the fact that Georgia's daughter decided she was not going to wait to learn to walk around the average age of 12 months. Like all the young men attending Manhattan prep, she wanted to rise above the normal expectations and perform above the normal mark! She tried to throw herself out of the childseat at six months of age, so she could get to the floor. Fortunately, I was number two in a line of six children and a couple of other aspects of my home life made it so I could realize almost immediately what she was doing.
(My father had done pediatrics so many years as a family doctor in a small town as part I have a normal family practice but did everything that a family doctor could do which included surgeries and births in the 60s. And my mother trained as a nurse Atlanta Baptist nursing school was running a very tight ship like a head nurse running pediatric ward/nursing school lessons 24/7 with the doctor checking in and following up on all situations Which of course included my dad being a father we had answer to like the principal and her mother was the teacher. And from what Georgia told me it appears my father's disciplined was a great deal like the professors at Manhattan prep. We were also I was lucky enough that the small towns/Community was outside of Atlanta Georgia, so we were able to go in and out of Atlanta for the fun experiences like The Varsity. Or the great medical minds needed with Emory during an extraordinarily wonderful changing time in medicine in the 60s and the 70s, but still a time when many things had no treatments which I was made aware of my home life growing up.)
George did not believe me when I am informed him emphatically not to put the infant seat on the kitchen counters or tables. Only on the floors now, because Katherine is trying to throw herself to the floor to learn to crawl. However, George soon changed his mind and he was completely freaked out. BUT I am informed him we what we really should be freaked out about is the fact that --the mother knows with the infant is trying to do, so we're not in an emergency room explaining how we do not leave our child unattended in an infant seat. Because no person working in the ER was going to believe the fact she is trying to throw herself out of the infant seat by throwing her weight forward. And thinking about it right now reminds me that there were no cell phones to capture this for our defense!
But the next part is what I had difficulty accepting and after two days of freaking out about it I just got over it. I guess some Manhattan Prep-Sirs Gene got passed to her as she decided to skip crawling and go for standing up in the middle of the room without anything helping her. And if you tried to help her then she started to have a Rumpelstiltskin irritation fit about it. And would insist on only being in the middle of the room to work on achieving his feat. So now it was the mother's turn instead of the grandmother to say-- this is completely abnormal --as some of my most joyful memories are helping three younger siblings learn to walk. And it's a very joyful fun time as part of the baby's development! It's a wonderful time to interact with your baby until the moment they let go and no longer need your help (at which time the entire situation turns around to constantly be on your guard about this moving creature's safety).
When I described the situation to George on what's happens while he was at work my last comment was --I told her fine --go ahead --keep trying to stand up ---I'll sit here and fold the clothes on the floor all day and watch you continue to fall down.

College, neighbors struggle to curb student noise

With school back in session, Riverdalians who live near Manhattan College students’ apartments and favorite haunts say their evening peace and quiet from Thursday through Saturday is at an end. The school’s administration is taking steps to discourage students from being loud, strewing trash and performing functions better done in the privacy of a bathroom along West 238th Street and Greystone Avenue, though officials and residents say getting students to behave is a struggle.

Racing, and remembering those lost on 9/11
By Sean Brennan
Posted 10/8/15
*** begin quote ***
It’s been a little over 14 years since Stephen Siller, a courageous New York City firefighter, lost his life trying to save others on September 11, 2001. Siller, who called Park Slope’s Squad 1 his work home, is best remembered as the fireman who raced to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel and, when he saw the tunnel was already closed, donned 60 pounds of gear and ran through the tunnel to the Twin Towers where he lost his life trying to save others.
Fourteen years has done little to assuage the pain of the Siller family for their loss that fateful day, but out of that dark hour was born the annual Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers 5K Run and Walk, an event that drew over 30,000 runners in its’ latest installment on Sept. 27.

ENDNOTE: We abhor more central planning and less personal liberty.

Is the Pope a False Prophet?
By Andrew P. Napolitano
September 24, 2015
*** begin quote ***
Pope Francis is popular on the world stage, and the crowds love him. But if he fails in his basic duties as the pope, if his concern is more for secular than sacred, if he aids the political agenda of the atheistic left, he is a false prophet leading his flock to a dangerous place, where there is more central planning and less personal liberty.
*** end quote ***
Judge Napolitano is not a raving loon, but makes some very germane observations.
I, too, believe that Capitalism is the greatest organizational principle that humanity has ever discovered.
It “motivates” humans to cooperate. If you don’t serve your fellow human, then you’re poor.
The Gooferment has turned being “poor” into “welfare farming”.
I hope that Judge Napolitano is wrong and that Pope Francis fights the welfare / warfare Gooferments and not Capitalism, whose “invisible hand”, have given the poor so much.
