BrunoBrimley 86 Posted November 25, 2006 Okay so there I was checking the local obituaries which is what I often times try to do oftenly on afternoons often even in the morning and at other times mid-day or just around midnight. Now as some of you know or noticed (or did not) I recently mentioned Ronald Del Rosario a little known lottery winner who kicked off while on his way to buy more lottery tickets.....his luck ran out. Then there was Paul Boylan who owned funeral homes (2 to be precisely exact) and I was wondering where the funeral was being led from.....the article did not say. Well, today was a real humdinger of a winner when I saw that the sweet and lovely Rose D'Anna had died and as I read the obit, I saw the name of one of her daughters, Jean who had the married name of Trimarche. I raced backwards then forwards and then approached again and there it was!!!!!! Trimarche! On the same day as Rose died, her son-in-law died. Younger by 19 years Vincent Trimarche was dead, and low and behold he was married to Jean, maiden-name D'Anna! Well this got me to wondering, how often are there moments of this sort? And what of poor Jean D'Anna Trimarche who lost both her mother and husband on the same day? Now I am not looking for accidental deaths, like in car wrecks or train overpass collapses....no, I am searching for a person who loses two or more family members on either the same day or within the same week. Come on guys....and gals.....and others......put on your detectolating hats and capes and search and find more of these deathly oddities. And here's a brief summary of the two obits.... VINCENT TRIMARCHE, 70 Firefighter and Korean War veteran Friday, November 24, 2006 Vincent (Bubby) Trimarche, 70, of Dongan Hills, a retired firefighter, died Tuesday in Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze. A native of Dongan Hills, Mr. Trimarche moved 1995 to New Dorp in the 1960s, before moving back to Dongan Hills about a year ago. An avid golfer, Mr. Trimarche also enjoyed spending time with his family. He was a parishioner of St. Ann's R.C. Church, Dongan Hills. Surviving are his wife of 48 years, the former Jean D'Anna; his three daughters, Linda Siciliano, Diane Palumbo and Sandra Simoncini; two brothers, George and Santo; two sisters, MaryLou Petosa and JoAnn Caggiano, and five grandchildren. The funeral will be Monday from the Colonial Funeral Home with a mass at 9:30 a.m. in Our Lady Queen of Peace R.C. Church, both New Dorp. Burial will follow in Moravian Cemetery, also New Dorp. ROSE D'ANNA, 89 Garment worker a 60-year resident of New Dorp Friday, November 24, 2006 Longtime Staten Islander Rose D'Anna, 89, a former garment finisher from Dongan Hills, died Tuesday in Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze, of cancer. Born Rose Montalbano in Brooklyn, Mrs. D'Anna 2003 lived in New Dorp for 60 years before settling in Dongan Hills in 2005. She worked for 30 years as a finisher in the garment industry, retiring in the 1970s. Known to her family as "Mema," Mrs. D'Anna liked to dine out, see movies and take long walks with her friends. She was a parishioner of Our Lady Queen of Peace R.C. Church, New Dorp. Her husband of 40 years, Fred, died in 1980. Mrs. D'Anna is survived by her son, Anthony D'Anna; her three daughters, Jean Trimarche, Rosemarie Caparimo and Frances Scandaglia; 17 grandchildren, and 21 great-grandchildren. The funeral will be Monday from Colonial Funeral Home, New Dorp, with a mass at 9:30 a.m. in Our Lady Queen of Peace Church. Burial will follow in Moravian Cemetery, also New Dorp. Notice how convenient things will be though.....both are being taken by Colonial Funeral Hime then to Our Lady Queen of Peace Church (both at the 9:30 a.m. mass) and then interrment in Moravian Cemetery..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted November 26, 2006 They died in the same hospital, too. If they were dying in different wards, their relatives would have been faced with awkward dilemmas....

Windsor 2,233 Posted November 26, 2006 Not the same thing but I'll give it a go with the example of my family. My Great Grandfather was discovered dead at 4.30am on 1st October 1964. His wife (g Grandmother) died at 11.35pm on 30th September 1965. So give or take a few hours they died exactly 1 year between one another. ____________________________ My Grandmother died on 2nd May 2006. This was the same date as her car disabled sticker run out. ____________________________ Thats about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 97 Posted November 26, 2006 Famous brothers Robert and Laurence Tisch died on the same day, 2 years apart, which I thought wa interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handrejka 1,903 Posted November 26, 2006 Can't think of any in my family but here's a bit of trivia . Roger Bowen and Mclean Stevenson who both played Henry Blake in M*A*S*H (film and tv version respectively) died only a day apart from each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted November 26, 2006 In a similar vein: my great-uncle Jan and his wife Jo died on the same day, both from natural causes. They were both in their eighties. The atmosphere at their funeral was rather strange, but not particluarly sad. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godot 149 Posted November 27, 2006 OK Bruno, just for you. I plucked this off the internet so can't vouch for its veracity: Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost their children while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head. Lincoln ’s secretary was named Kennedy. Kennedy’s Secretary was named Lincoln. Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939. Both assassins were known by their three names. Both names are composed of fifteen letters. Lincoln was shot at a theater named ‘Ford.’ Kennedy was shot in a car called ‘ Lincoln’ made by ‘Ford.’ Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater. Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials. A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted November 27, 2006 Of course through it all I forgot the other oddity..... Mumsy and Popi died 5 days apart..... Strange in its own way I suppose since their birthdays were several years apart but 8 days apart within their birth month..... Mother was born in the evening and died in the morning and Popi was born in the morning and died in the....oh never mind he died in the morning,....guess that wasn't so strange after all. I was born on a Tuesday and plan to die on a Tuesday.... (I like to plan ahead).... Good to see the things people have put in here.....keep them coming.....

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted November 27, 2006 I appreeecitae the work time and energy expended go-dot but am well to say the least quite relieved to learn that it is only a legend that Lincoln and Kennedy are dead....does this mean we can add them to next years list of possibles?
