G. Gordon Liddy at that time was not a name to be found in history books, synonymous with a political scandal against which all subsequent scandals have since been compared. He was a Dutchess County assistant district attorney with political aspirations.
Though his travels over 90 years took him around the world, to the White House, to prison, to wealth, fame and infamy, he will be laid to rest in Poughkeepsie, where he began to raise his family.
Liddy, known best as the mastermind of the Watergate heist, will have a funeral mass on Friday at the same church where he married Frances, before he is buried in Poughkeepsie alongside her.
