Michael Rutigliano - February 07, 1931 - April 27, 2024

Departed: 04/27/2024 (Franklin Square)

Obituary Preview: Michael Rutigliano Sr., 93, of Franklin Square, NY and Boca Raton, Florida, passed peacefully on Saturday, April 27, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Michael was born to Antonio and Anna Rutigliano, Italian immigrants from Bitetto, Italy, on February 7, 1931. Michael spent his childhood working for his family on the ice truck. He was drafted at 21 years old into the Army and sent to Fort Breckenridge, Kentucky. He was stationed in Germany from 1952 to 1954. While the Korean War wound down, he returned home to Brooklyn and met his wife, Dolores Antonelli. Michael was called to the NYPD in 1959 and served 20 years, most of that time in the 20th precinct. Together, Michael and Dolores raised three children

in Brooklyn, New York, Monroe, New York, and Douglaston, Queens.

Serving as an Officer in the NYPD from 1959-1979, he lived a life most people only get to see on TV. His cop stories are something that will be cherished forever. At home, he was an amazingly devoted husband and father, with a magic to turn the simplest things in life into the biggest adventures. Life for him and his family was filled with days at Manhattan Beach, Coney Island fireworks, late-night drive-in movies, road trips with his parents, and countless summer days where the Brooklyn family spent time at the Monroe house. Michael lost Dolores, the love of his life, to long-protracted illness in March 2000.

Michael, affectionately known to his family as Poppy, was kind, loving, giving, generous, and had an amazing gift when it came to connecting with people. Recently described as “The greatest man I’ve ever known” by his granddaughter Toni Marie, truer words could not be spoken. He had an amazing sense of humor, and a spirit that could light up a room. He enjoyed years of joining his grandchildren as they played sports, performed in dance recitals, and many other school activities. His time spent with his grandchildren and great grandchildren was inspiring.

Mike met Connie Ciccone in Boca Raton, Florida and they spent many loving years together enjoying the warm weather and traveling. Mike and Connie provided each other with laughter, adventure, travel, and an extended family. They went on cruises, countless trips to the Bahamas, casino visits, and loved each other’s families as their own. Michael is predeceased by his loving wife, Dolores. He is survived by his loving and devoted children, Ann Marie Dodd, Lillian Sforza, and Michael Rutigliano II and his wife Veronica; adoring grandchildren Toni Marie (spouse Jason), Ashley (spouse David), Kristina, Michael III (spouse Casey), Dominic, Vincent, and his six great-grandchildren, Peyton, Grace, Emma, Luke,

Michael IV, and Liam.

A true blessing to be the Patriarch of such a loving family, his legacy will live on through the words and actions of those he loved so much.

Departed: 03/27/2024 (Franklin Square)

Obituary Preview: Gordon V. Hanson, 82, of West Hempstead, NY passed away on March 27, 2024. He was born to the late Vincent and Edna (Olsson) Hanson on August 5, 1941, in Newport, Rhode Island.

In 1952, Gordon and his family moved to West Hempstead. He attended Sewanhaka High School in Floral Park. While there, he participated in the band and stage crew.

The culmination of which was becoming an Associate Director. This was a job which he greatly loved and he was thankful for the opportunity to work with awesome coworkers.

Gordon retired from CBS after 50 years of service.

In 1964, Gordon was drafted and was stationed in the Vietnamese highlands. There he was wounded during the Tet Offensive and received the Purple Heart. He returned to work at CBS after his discharge from the army.

Gordon’s attention to detail was extraordinary. He was very skilled at building things such as models and even built a grandmother clock. He also had a love for the ocean and enjoyed boating in his younger years.

Beloved husband of Carol. Devoted father of Victoria and Elizabeth. He is also survived by his brother, Robert and his nephews, Michael and Russell.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an obituary?

An obituary is a written notice that announces the death of a person, typically including their name, age, date of birth and death, and a brief biography.

Why are obituaries important?
