William Garnett Payne

 William Garnett Payne was a prominent and prosperous citizen  of Seaford. I just came across a summary  of his life (1870-1940) in the website Find-A-Grave, linked HERE.

We lost Jack Healy

Sad to relate, Seaford and Wantagh lost the frequent volunteer of exemplary causes, Jack Healy of Spur Lane. Jack volunteered much skill and time in early website creation for St. William's parish and the Wantagh Fire District.

An obituary is linked HERE.

My only photos evidence his role in the U. S. Navy. Note the cap, depicting the USNS Comfort T-AH-20, a hospital ship.

 

Young priest Peter Duganzic created a website for the parish of St. William the Abbot. Upon Fr. Duganzic's assignment elsewhere, Jack Healy picked up the work and volunteered many hours of improvements and reconstruction, as the tools for websites evolved.

Many of Jack's fire department photos appeared in the Wantagh Citizen.

Zio's Cake and Cookie

New owners have arrived at Helmut's or Fehn's Bakery at 3649 Merrick Road, Seaford. Zio's Italian, similar to Dortoni of Levittown. On 10.20.2022, I bought an excellent loaf of pumpernickel bread. Zio means Uncle. Google reviews are linked HERE.

There are two parking spaces in front of the store and an adequate lot behind that red car, that is, east of the bakery. The photo was taken 1.30.2023 from the sidewalk in front of the Seventh Precinct at Neptune Avenue.
