Michael Joseph Gilbride, 81, passed into eternity after a long illness. Surrounded by his loving wife of 49 years, Catherine âCathyâ Cole Gilbride, and his adoring daughters, Karen and Megan, Mike drew his final breaths amid the sounds of their voices as his favorite Irish music played softly in the background.
Born December 4, 1939, in New York City to Irish immigrant parents, Mike, or Joe as he was called in his youth, grew up in a close-knit Irish Catholic community in Manhattan. As a boy he loved the New York Yankees, playing handball, and hanging out in the city with his older brother, John, cousin Frank, and friends from the neighborhood. He attended Ascension School for his primary education and the De La Salle Institute for high school.

To the editor: I read Elizabeth Izzo’s article about retiring school superintendent Roger Catania with great interest. I have known Roger for over 50 years. I have had many conversations with him about education and his experiences over the years, from the time when we would drive in together to Manhattan (he was teaching at the Ascension School on the Upper West Side, and I was attending Fordham Law School) to more recently while he was serving as your superintendent and I was serving on my local board of education. What I can say with great certainty is that Roger loves your community and has put your children first. Roger is a gifted teacher and a superior administrator because he cares about what he does and he respects everyone.
Meandered Path is the story of the exciting and dramatic life of Dr. Francis Folorunso Oghenero Abudu, a teacher, scholar, researcher, banker, investor, venture capitalist, and administrator. It is the odyssey and testimony of a couple – Francis and Rosaline – whose brave endeavours, adventure, professional careers, and work of philanthropy have positively transformed the destinies of numerous families, individuals, and the fortunes of diverse private and public institutions. Meandered Path is a celebration of lives well-lived and divinely directed to add value to the Nigerian society and humanity in general. It is a swift-flowing narrative marked by breath-taking episodes and exploits full of refreshing lessons and philosophical reflections on the great drama called life. The book is a compendium of knowledge about the family hood, daring enterprise, and determination to triumph over obstacles and challenges.
