Hear Ye Hear Ye, All Fellow Pirates of KGC……Beware of prying Pirate eyes, during the Pirate hunt on Monday.  Enjoy the Labor Day Holiday!!!

DEAR KING'S GATE FAMILY:   Words cannot describe what I feel in my heart for all of my KGC family.   You are all so wonderful.   Thank you very much for all the prayers, cards, Mass cards, and the food you brought to our home.   My three children, Carlene, Brian and Scott were amazed at all the love that was shown to us.   They now feel that I will be well, living here in KGC without Lyle.   Thank you again, and I will always keep you in my prayers.      Love, Dee Hicks and family

THANK YOU, Mary Lou Richmond for the wonderful Memorial for Lyle.   Thank you to her committee; Fr. Steve, Tom Hicks with the music and mikes; the ladies that baked: Martha Hicks, Jean Ickes, Sandy McIntyre, Virginia Kureja, Ann Kellum, Judy Auerbach and Jean Oakley.   Mary Lou and her committee always do such a terrific job.   Lots of love, Dee Hicks

CONDOLENCES:   The KGC office was just informed that on July 8, 2009, Frank Sapareto passed away, in Phoenix, AZ.   He and his wife Alice have owned 11 Castle Drive since 1986.   They moved to Arizona a little over a year ago, to be closer to family.   Alice has new address:   Alice Sapareto, Chris Ridge Apt. 220, 6250 N. 19th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85015.  
     Born in Haverhill, Massachusetts, on April 16, 1919, Frank was a graduate of the Haverhill High School, Class of 1937 and Tufts University, Class of 1941, having received a degree in Engineering.   Following graduation, he was employed for a brief time by Arthur D. Little Co. of Cambridge, and Calco Chemical Co. of New Jersey.   He was also a co-owner, along with his father, of the Concord Heel Company of Haverhill from 1941 to 1966, until he took a position with Western Electric, where he remained until 1974.   At that time, he began a second career teaching math and science in the Haverhill area until 1986.   Frank and Alice retired to Nokomis, Fla., however continued to spend summers in Meredith, N.H. He was a member of the Nor'Eastaires Barber Shop Quartet, which he loved to do. He was also a member of the 4th Degree Knights of Columbus, a past president of the Exchange Club, and enjoyed golf, tennis and watching baseball. Always supportive of his family, Frank had dedicated much time campaigning for his son, Frank, who ran for the Senate and House of Representatives.   Most of all, he loved spending time with his three grandsons. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.   In addition to his wife of 62 years, he is survived by two sons, Dr. Stephen A.
