Last Walk-Around<br />
Joseph Dunn<br />
My husband, life partner<br />
and love of my life “Paddy<br />
the Clown” died April 7th<br />
after battling brain cancer<br />
for almost four months. He<br />
will surely be missed by the<br />
thousands of children and<br />
adults he entertained and<br />
by the many charity events<br />
he attended. Some of his<br />
charities are the Verizon<br />
Pioneers, Juvenile Diabetes,<br />
American Heart Association,<br />
Empire State Games for<br />
the Physically Challenged,<br />
various political fundraisers<br />
with Assemblyman Joe<br />
Saladino and Peter King,<br />
Luke Neuhedel Foundation,<br />
American Cancer Society,<br />
Annual Breast Cancer Walk,<br />
and hundreds of 7-Eleven<br />
community affairs, as well<br />
as many small local charities<br />
and fundraisers. The list is<br />
nearly endless… He was<br />
truly a “giving” clown, joked<br />
often about the blessings of<br />
being “good for nothing”<br />
and shared his miles of<br />
smiles throughout his life,<br />
especially during his 35<br />
years as a clown. Heaven is a<br />
better place with him in it.<br />
If a clown close to you has passed, we would very much like to honor that clown with his or her last walk-around.<br />
