Saturday March 13th should have been the St. Patrick’s Day Parade but due to the Pandemic it was canceled for the 2nd straight year. John Tumino from IMFK was nominated for the 2020 Gael of the year. The Gael is usually someone of non Irish decent that is honored during the Parade for their philanthropic work in the community. Mayor Ben Walsh was in attendance to show his support and took the time to meet and shake hands with Kevin and K-Dog. The Mayor encouraged them with their turn around in life and told them to keep moving forward. To be able to be honored as the Gael is very humbling but what I have received from this honor is that by seeing me and the work we do the Parade Committee is saying they see our Homeless friends. Whatever we can do to bring awareness to the Mission of IMFK goes without question. To shine a light on the challenges of homeless goes a long way in bringing understanding and compassion  to our friends. Thank you to the Parade Committee for acknowledging our Mission.

Emily (Nesci) Maggio February 27, 2021 Emily (Nesci) Maggio, 95, of Syracuse, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, February 27, 2021. She was born on August 30, 1925 to the late Joseph and Marianna (Carni) Nesci and grew up on North McBride Street surrounded by loving parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Despite the Depression, wars, and other hardships, if asked Emily would always tell you she had the best childhood anyone could ever have. In May of 1950, she married the late Joseph J. Maggio. Emily and Joseph resided together in Liverpool and raised four children. Emily retired after many years as a receptionist at Thomas Hair Stylist and as a hostess at Aunt Josie’s Restaurant. She was known for her selflessness and devotion to her family. They always came first. She was a best friend and confidant to her grandchildren. Her home was the gathering place for every holiday or special occasion and her door was always open to family and friends too numerous to count. In addition to her parents and husband, Emily is predeceased by her son-in-law, Patrick M. Tucci, her sister, Theresa Ludovico, and brothers, James and Raymond Nesci. Emily is survived by her children, Denise Tucci, with whom she resided; Joni (Thomas) Sprague, John Maggio (Mary Kelly), and Joseph (Cindy) Maggio; grandchildren, Courtney (David) Ashbrook, Joseph Maggio, Michael (Sara) Maggio, Remi (John) Dillon, Alexi (Todd) Gregory; seven great-grandchildren; her brother-in-law, John F. Maggio; along with several nieces, nephews and cousins. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Mary Daye for her wonderful care of Emily over the years.
