On December 19, Supervisor Ed Romaine paid a visit to the “North Pole,” located at the Town of Brookhaven’s INTERFACE Program headquarters in Patchogue. He was there to accept toy donations from New York State Senator Alexis Weik.

Town Demolishes Zombie House on Bayview Avenue in Bellport

On December 19, Councilman Michael Loguercio and Supervisor Ed Romaine were at 658 Bayview Avenue in Bellport for the demolition of an abandoned “zombie house.”

There had been squatters and drug activity at the house, generating numerous resident complaints and Town building code violations. The house was demolished by the Town in accordance with Chapter 73 of the Town Code which provides a “fast track” to rid neighborhoods of unsafe structures. The cost of demolition and debris removal is the responsibility of the property owner, and the Town places a lien on the property that is then placed on the tax bill. The County reimburses the Town and then they collect the money from the property owner.

Supervisor Romaine said, “The families that live in this

neighborhood work hard to maintain their homes, so it was important that we remove this one to improve their quality of life. Now that this blight is gone, I will continue to work with Councilman Loguercio and our Law Department to help identify and remove more of these eyesores in Bellport.”

Councilman Loguercio said, "Today we were able to remove this zombie home from the Bellport community. Residents who live here deserve a great quality of life and a safe neighborhood. Having zombie homes like this, offer opportunities for illegal activity to occur. I will continue to advocate for my district to remove more homes like this in the future. We want to protect the property values and the safety of all our residents."

Town’s annual INTERFACE Toy Drive.

Through raising donations, the Town’s INTERFACE program collects and distributes holiday gifts for thousands of children in need, ranging in age from infant to 15 years of age.

William Floyd Varsity Football Players Win “Best in County” Awards; Coach Longo Honored

The William Floyd High School varsity football team led by legendary head coach Paul Longo put together another fantastic season, going undefeated in the regular season and winning their first playoff game before being upset in a close game in the semifinals. The No. 1 seeded Colonials qualified for the playoffs for the 22nd consecutive year and won many awards this season, including several major accolades including: the Bob Zellner Award given to the best offensive lineman in Suffolk County, the Tom Cassese Award given to the best defensive back in Suffolk County, the inaugural "Best Kicker" in the county award, as well as Coach Longo earning the Suffolk County Division I "Coach of the Year" award and having the best wide receiver in the county named in his honor. The team also received the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Scholar Athlete Team Award for having at least three quarters of their team roster achieving a grade-point average of 90 or higher. Below is a recap of the awards!

Head coach Paul Longo has been named the Suffolk County Division I “Coach of the Year” for a remarkable 15th time, an award that is voted on by other head coaches in the division. Additionally, the Suffolk County “Wide Receiver of the Year” Award has been renamed the Paul Longo Wide Receiver Award for the county’s most outstanding wide receiver.

Coach Longo said that naming this countywide award after him is very special as “it is a nice recognition for

all the hard work that we all put in here at Floyd.” He added, “I have been blessed with great coaches, great players, great parents, a supportive administration and an awesome community. Even when I am done coaching, having this award forever named after me will always be a reminder of the great things we accomplished together.”

Coach Longo is a member of both the William Floyd and Suffolk County Athletic Halls of Fame. He is the all-time winningest public high school coach in Suffolk County history. Through 28 seasons, he sports a 223-62 record, has made the playoffs in 23 seasons (including 22 consecutive), and had led his teams to 13 Suffolk County titles and five Long Island championships. His teams have won three Rutgers trophies as the top team in Suffolk and still holds the county’s longest winning streak – 42 games between 2005 and 2008.

Nineteen of Coach Longo’s teams have ranked in the top 10 on Long Island; and 10 of those teams ranked in the top 10 in all of New York State.

In 2007, Sports Illustrated ranked his team as one of the 25 best high school teams in the country.

Student Awards:

Senior Ryan Amato was selected as this year’s Bob Zellner Award recipient as the best offensive lineman in Suffolk County. Amato is William Floyd’s first-ever four-year varsity starter on the offensive line and is considered by Coach Longo to be one of the best linemen he has ever coached. He also served as one of the team captains. He is the fourth

William Floyd student-athlete to win this award, and the first since 2010 when a Colonial student-athlete won it for the third year in a row (Tom Lindley '08, Kevin Hauter '09 and James Walsh '10).

“Ryan is an excellent student and was so great to coach,” said Coach Longo. “He never would miss anything that we did, in season and out of season. Ryan had that great combination any coach would love to have. He is a nice young man off the field and tough and tenacious on the field.” Coach Longo added that Ryan has a steady stream of college coaches vying for him to attend their school including Division I and Division II schools.

Junior Caden Lesiewicz won two individual awards – the Tom Cassese Award as the best defensive back in Suffolk County along with the inaugural County Kicking Award for being the best kicker in Suffolk County. Coach Longo said that winning two county awards is quite the feat considering that he is only a junior and described how he makes an impact in all facets of the game, while maintaining a grade point average over 100.

“Caden is an amazing safety and this award is well-deserved,” said Coach Longo. “As far as kicking goes, I am sure he will be going to a big-

time college to kick. I would not be at all surprised if he is kicking on Sunday afternoons after college. The amazing thing about Caden is he can do it all. He is tremendous on special teams; he is great on defense and is a serious weapon on offense.”

Dylan Harris (running back/ linebacker) received the Division I Most Valuable Player award for his efforts on both sides of the ball.

LaDuke Harris (quarterback) was the runner-up for the Esiason Award (Suffolk County’s Best Quarterback).

Dylan Harris was the runnerup for the Joe Cipp Award (Suffolk

William Floyd High School Counseling Center Hosts Five Colleges & Universities for Mini OnSite Admissions Event

The William Floyd High School Counseling Center recently held its first of three on-site admission events for this school year welcoming representatives from Farmingdale State College, Long Island University, St. Joseph’s University, SUNY College at Old Westbury and Suffolk County Community College. On-site admissions events, like those held multiple times each year by the William Floyd High School Counseling Center, provide students the opportunity to meet with higher-education admissions representatives locally to see what each college has to offer, discuss their goals, evaluate transcripts, discuss scholarship opportunities, and in some cases, receive on-the-spot acceptance.

For this first event of the school year, the colleges and universities met with 125 students and pledged to award considerable monetary

scholarships to many of those who participated with the potential for even more after further evaluation. Over the past approximately 20 years of the William Floyd High School Counseling Center hosting this event, thousands of students have been matched with colleges and millions of dollars of scholarships have been facilitated.

The second on-site admissions event for this

school year is scheduled for December 21 and will feature Suffolk County Community College only. The third and final on-site admissions event for the 2022-23 school year will be a much larger event held on February 15, 2023, in which representatives from the aforementioned schools and many other regional colleges, universities and trade schools will be on hand to meet with students.

Holiday STEAM Stations

The library media center at Eastport Elementary School has been a hub of holiday research and science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics activities.

During the month of December, students have researched holiday traditions around the world. Library media specialist Alyssa Sorensen uploaded a Google Classroom page that contained links embedded in a holiday living room scene which brought the students to a link about different holidays.

The week prior to the

holiday break, students also participated in stations in which they built a shelf for an elf out of popsicle sticks and play dough. They also built a Christmas tree out of straws and play dough. Some of the other activities included competitively rolling dice to complete a picture of a snowman using math skills, making an ornament and creating a holiday Joke Teller. Ms. Sorensen also used green screen technology to take a photo of each student using various winter and holiday scenes.

SUFFOLK CLOSEUP The Year 2022 -- Overshadowed by Russia's Vicious Invasion of Ukraine

It’s far from Suffolk County, but I’ve been to Russia many times. And the year 2022 was overshadowed for me—and I’m sure many others in Suffolk and the United States, in fact the world—by what Russia has been doing.

“Russian Missiles Plunge Millions Into Frigid Dark,” was the headline of the lead story on the front page of The New York Times two weeks ago.

The subhead: “Ukrainians Ask for Relief as Fears About Fresh Offensive Grow.” Another subhead: “Huddling For Warmth.”

The next day in The Times there was a large photo covering the upper left of its front page with the caption “Moments of Unspeakable Grief.” It depicted two elderly people at the door of their bombed home—the man crouching, holding his head, the woman in tears. The caption continued, “In the aftermath of an attack in Kherson, the horrors of war in Ukraine take on a deeper meaning when seen close up.” It directed readers to an inside page of photos and narrative that included: “At another badly damaged house, paramedics carried out a bedridden 85-year-old woman, Lyudmila…”

How can a nation of intelligent people with a love for poetry, music, dance and literature be involved in a murderous, barbarous attack on the population of its neighbor?

The reason is Vladimir Putin, the former KGB colonel drunk with power, aiming to reconstitute a “Greater Russia”—whether the people of the nations he seeks to annex and dominate like it or not.

And this is, despite Russia, after World War II and losing 20 million people and itself invaded by Germany, being a founding member of the United Nations and joining in a basic tenet of the new organization prohibiting member states from the “use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.”

The savage invasion of Ukraine which Putin initiated and has been directing is a flat-out violation of that principle. The brutality of Russia’s invasion, its killing of innocent people, its war crimes—horrendous!

At our synagogue, Temple Adas Israel in Sag Harbor, a “Welcome Circle,” working with the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, has brought a Ukrainian family to the safety of the United States. They are not Jewish; they are Ukrainian Orthodox. The family consists of a 37 year-old mother, Viktoriia, and her two sons, 15 year-old Yaroslav and 10 year-old Nikita. They are living in a house in Sag Harbor provided by a congregant. The boys are happily matriculated in Sag Harbor schools.

Ron Klausner, the synagogue’s

co-president, related the scene at Kennedy Airport: “We welcomed them into our outstretched arms, all of us crying with relief. Their luggage— life savings—consisted of one medium and one carry-on luggage, two guitars, three small knapsacks, a small dog and a cat. They wore their only set of clothes.”

The family is from a town in the Donetsk region of Eastern Ukraine. The Russians invaded it in 2014 and have held siege ever since. Viktoriia's parents remain in a town still occupied by Russian soldiers.

Klausner related that with her sons (and their dog and cat) “Viktoriia escaped and managed to travel from Slovyansk to Piensk, Poland and then, after connecting with us through HIAS, to Posnan, Poland, Berlin

and finally to Frankfurt to board the plane to the United States. It was not the same as boarding a ship in steerage to cross the Atlantic like so many of our ancestors did but the trip was nevertheless long, grueling and traumatic.”

“Thanks to a most generous donor the family is now living in a fully furnished house in the Village of Sag Harbor until Spring. They can easily walk to town, school, shopping, the beach, the library and the food pantry. The house is a dream come true for them. The family all started crying when they first walked into the house…after living in a mold infested basement in Poland,” said Klausner. “One of the most important values of our faith is to welcome the stranger among us, just as we were

once strangers in a new land. I can tell you that each member of the Welcome Circle has been moved to tears by the courage of this family and the awareness of the life altering impact of our actions.”

I went to Russia seven times invited by Dr. Alexey Yablokov, environmental advisor to Russian Presidents Gorbachev and Yeltsin, to give presentations on environmental and energy issues, all over the huge nation. Yablokov, who died in 2017, was regarded as the father of the environmental movement in Russia, the country’s most eminent environmental scientist.

The last trip I made to Russia was exactly 20 years ago—in 2002. I gave the keynote address at a conference in Tomsk in Siberia, and also a presentation at Tomsk Polytechnic University. Putin had been in power for three years and already things were changing. As Dr. Yablokov stated in 1999: “The result of Putin’s politics is fascism.”

I would not return to Russia under any condition now with Putin having hijacked the country. In 2002, as the Delta jet was a half-hour out of Moscow, heading to New York, I breathed a sigh of relief being outside Russian airspace. Putin and his vicious, illegal war must be stopped. What he is doing and the resulting devastation is indeed causing unspeakable grief.

2022 will be remembered for many things, but being the year of the upset should be right at the top of the list. Sports bettors love underdog stories, and like underdog money even more. Let's take a look at what made this year the year of the upset.

5 - The New Look Panthers Beat the GOAT

In week 7 Oddsmakers made the Bucs a 13-point favorites over the Panthers and who could blame them. The Panthers were reeling. They traded away their star RB Christian McCaffrey the Friday beforehand and were starting a 3rd string QB against the GOAT in a divisional matchup.

The line closed at 14 in some spots and that line wouldn't matter because the Panthers won outright. D'Onta Foreman ran 15 times for 118 yards and Chuba Hubbard had 63 more yards, as the Panthers run game posted its biggest game of the season while P.J. Walker was

16-of-22 for 177 yards and two touchdowns.

The old adage 'On Any Given Sunday' Was certainly true this week and underdog bettors rejoiced as this was one of the top 10 biggest upsets in the past 10 seasons.

it the biggest upset of the 2022 season.

3 - The Royals B-Squad Walk Away With The Win

Upsets

team in the NHL. For anyone who was a contrarian player this was the play of the season in hockey.

4

- The Bucks Make NBA History ... Again

The Milwaukee Bucks are now on the losing end of the two biggest outright upsets in NBA history after losing to the Pistons. Saqqid Bey’s 34 points led the way in a 115-106 Pistons win. What makes this historic is that the Bucks were slotted as 17-point favorites.

Only once since 1995 has a bigger underdog won in the NBA. That, oddly enough, came in 2020 when the Nets beat the Bucks 119116 as 18.5-point underdogs.

The +17 was a nice easy winner but the bettors who really were counting their cash had the Pistons +1100 on the moneyline, making

The Royals traveled to Canada missing almost half of their team and that didn't seem to matter at all. The Royals felt the roster crunch because of Canada's vaccination laws, meaning that they had to put 10 players on the restricted list for the series in Toronto because they weren’t vaccinated.

So, it made sense that oddsmakers would make the Jays the heavy favorites. Actually, they were the biggest moneyline favorites in baseball at that point at more than -400 in most places.

The Royals won 3-1 and cashed everyone's tickets who believed in this makeshift weekend roster.

2 - The Coyotes Cash the Lotto Ticket

The Coyotes were the worst team in the NHL and beat the best

The Coyotes won a 3-2 shootout over the Avalanche and with the win became one of the biggest underdogs to ever cash in NHL history. The Avalanche were -550 favorites on the moneyline meaning the Coyotes were getting you back more than +450 on your $100 investment.

The Coyotes had a leaguelow 10 wins and were staring at a road matchup against an Avalanche team with a 18 game home winning streak on the line. Colorado’s streak at Ball Arena ranked fifth in NHL history, five games shy of the all-time best home winning streak ever.

But their almost streak will be forgotten in history, while the Coyotes upset will live in the minds of underdog bettors forever.

1 - The Unthinkable - Saint Peter's defeats No. 2 Kentucky

Not only was this an unknown St. Peter's team against a blue blood in Kentucky, but it also was a 2 against a 15 seed and it needed overtime to cash.

Only 10 times in NCAA tournament history has a 15 seed beat a #2 seed and 2022 saw possibly the most memorable 15 seed ever. Saint Peter's got a combined 47 points from guards Daryl Banks III and Doug Edert in the school's first-ever NCAA Tournament victory.

The private school of roughly 3,500 students in Jersey City, New Jersey couldn't even be bet on in Atlantic City but around the country the upset minded, Cinderella backing bettors were celebrating.

St. Peter's closed at +1400 on the moneyline, while those who parlayed or teased Kentucky were pulling their hair out as the unthinkable -5000 favorites went down.

Q: A:

A disclaimer trust is an estate planning tool used for married couples to help reduce, if not eliminate, estate tax. There is never any estate tax due on the first spouse's death because of the unlimited marital deduction. So a disclaimer trust affects estate taxes ("death taxes") due at the death of the surviving spouse. The trust is also referred to as a bypass trust, family trust, or credit shelter trust (CST).

Per the unlimited marital deduction, upon the death of the first spouse, the deceased spouse’s assets can pass to the surviving spouse tax free. However, if all assets pass to the surviving spouse, the deceased's estate tax exemption is not used. This means the surviving spouse may end up with a taxable estate at their death because they have only their own exemption. The disclaimer trust allows all the assets to pass to the surviving spouse and use the deceased's estate tax exemption.

In 2023, the federal estate tax exemption is increasing to $12.98 million, and the New York State estate tax exemption is increasing to $6.58

million. Federally, an individual can gift up to a total of $12.98 million during their lifetime or after death without incurring a federal estate tax. Married couples can double that federal exemption using portability.

How does portability work? When the first spouse dies, the surviving spouse files a federal estate tax return for the deceased spouse’s estate and elects portability on the return. The right to use a spouse’s federal exemption is automatic, so long as the portability election is made.

Unfortunately, in New York, there is no right to portability. The only way for a surviving spouse to take advantage of a deceased spouse’s exemption is to funnel assets into a trust. Basically, the trust holds assets up to the amount of the deceased spouse's exemption. The trust utilizes New York State exemption instead of the unlimited marital deduction. This does not mean the assets in the disclaimer trust do not go to the spouse. This can be accomplished by making the surviving spouse the beneficiary of the disclaimer trust.

The surviving spouse can have

Disclaimer Trusts

almost unfettered access to the disclaimer trust. The disclaimer trust allows the surviving spouse to receive income and withdraw trust principal for health, education, maintenance, or support. The disclaimer trust can also name additional individuals as beneficiaries of the trust, such as one’s children.

Either the surviving spouse can be the trustee, or a third party can act as trustee. An independent trustee ensures that there are assets left for the remaining beneficiaries. This may be an important consideration in blended families. In such cases, the trust is usually called a bypass trust.

The key is that this credit shelter trust cannot hold more than the estate tax exemption amount or death taxes are due. Any amount over the estate exemption must go to the spouse using the unlimited marital deduction. The assets held in the disclaimer trust are outside of the surviving spouse’s estate when they die and pass to the remaining beneficiaries estate tax free.

There are several ways to structure a disclaimer trust in a Will or revocable trust. One method is to allow the surviving spouse to "disclaim" all or a portion of the deceased spouse’s assets to a disclaimer trust within 9 months

of death. Another method is to use a formula that automatically pours assets into a disclaimer type trust at death. For example, a provision can be drafted to funnel the maximum amount of assets into the trust, up to the estate tax exemption. This way the surviving spouse doesn't have to remember to disclaim within the necessary time.

A disclaimer trust is just one of many ways for New Yorkers to take advantage of their deceased spouse’s exemption. It is likely that your Will includes a disclaimer trust to avoid estate taxes at the surviving spouse's death. Although you may not have a taxable estate now, laws change, and flexibility is important. It is imperative the trust is drafted correctly to follow state and federal laws to ensure the trust will qualify as a disclaimer trust.

ON THE SEA

With Thanksgiving behind us now, and Christmas and Chanukah in the offing, it is a good time for all those who stand a watch and wait for the return of those that went to sea to think about being the “safety officer” before they go! And, skipper, how about the love you have for those that go to sea with you – kids, grandkids and mates – and creating the safest environment aboard that is feasible or possible?

Division-18, covers all of “Out East”, from William Floyd out to the ends of both forks. Want to find out what, where and when the latest boating safety classes are – email me below and I’ll look it up for you or go right to the web and find out - http://cgaux.org/boatinged/ class_finder/index.phpnationally. With COVID, we went virtual too – but the benefits were real! But now we’re back in the classroom, library, and civic centers.

From Stem to Stern

Fun for Teens in the New Year

From the Heart to the Head

There is no doubt that even the most grizzled seafarer can benefit from a boating safety class. Regulations do change over time and techniques get refined and advanced. My division, the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary

There is no greater “for free” service available than the free vessel safety check. And, this is not a regulatory event like getting your car inspected. If the boat doesn’t meet all the Federal standards, nothing bad happens (like not being able to drive your car since the inspection sticker was scrapped off.) Most likely, the USCGAux examiner will give you their cell phone number and ask you to call them when you’ve addressed the deficiency – most likely an expired flare package. And both exams are free! Want to schedule one? Email me below and I’ll look it up for

you or go right to the web and find out - http://wow.uscgaux. info/content.php?unit=VDEPT&category=i-want-a-vsc As with boating safety classes, we’ve had to make adaptations to protect you and the Vessel Examiner – but again the benefits are real!

Nothing Lighter – or More Valuable

The statistics on life jackets are sobering for those that don’t use them. For every 16 boaters that go into the water that don’t have life jackets on, only 1 comes out. Conversely, if they had a life jacket on, 15 come out. What population do you want your boater to be in? And, if they are the inflatable type, they hardly know that they have them on! And don’t forget that the USCGAux is sponsoring a “Kids Don’t Float” program. We leave life jackets at various cooperating marinas and you can borrow them for the day – on the honor system solely – for your favorite price – Free!

The Silent Killer – Carbon Monoxide

If your boat has any enclosed

spaces, they need a (marine) Carbon Monoxide Detector. For about $30 at any major retailer like Home Depot, etc., you have the wake-up call that otherwise wouldn’t come.

The Wireless “Kill Switch”

Every boat comes with a lanyard that is tied to the helmsman’s belt or life jacket and also back to the ignition switch. If the helmsman falls overboard, the lanyard goes with him and the engine stops, along with the boat. This gives the boater the chance to climb back aboard. But no one uses the lanyard because the helmsman is lashed to the helm. They can’t even walk a

couple of feet across the deck to fetch a landing net for one of his fellow boaters. But now there are “wireless lanyards” on the market! The helmsman can walk all over the boat – just don’t leave it! Now, that is a major safety uptick! Check on the internet or with any major chandlery.

Other great gift ideas to help keep boaters safe include:

Emergency signaling kits -flares, signal mirror, whistle, etc.

Up-to-date navigational charts and/or a handheld GPS unit

Navigation tools and calculators

Hand-held VHF marine radio with extra batteries

Show your love – for the crew and the skipper.

BY DOMINICK FORTE

Angels are traditionally placed on the top of Christmas trees to represent their role in the birth of Jesus. An angel visited Mary to announce that she would give birth to the Son of God, the Savior of the world. The same angel appeared to her husband Joseph in a dream to tell him that Mary’s conception of a child was from the Holy Spirit. And angels appeared in the sky above Bethlehem to celebrate the birth of Jesus and announce it to the shepherds it the field.

The numerous interventions which Gabriel undertook throughout history were manifestations of God’s boundless love for us. Gabriel was the most called upon of all of His messengers. As His intermediary Gabriel had a continuous impact on the history of the human race.

Gabriel was always happy to serve the Creator. On one of his missions, he approached the venerable priest Zechariah who was in service in the Temple of the Lord. When the archangel announced to the priest that his barren wife Elizabeth would

give birth to a son, he was met with disbelief. Gabriel was stunned at the priest’s hesitation and in a fit of righteous wrath reprimanded him.

“I am Gabriel sent from God. It is not me you doubt but God who sent me.” Gabriel’s punishment for the priest’s lack of faith was harsh but it served a purpose. By striking

Gabriel and the Angels of Christmas

saw her differently.

According to the Song of Songs, she was a woman, “coming forth as the dawn, as beautiful as the moon and as respondent as the sun.” This young girl would one day be Queen of the Angels.

Gabriel led the song which inspired the angels who appeared over a field of sleeping sheep herders. When he appeared to them the glory of the Lord shone over them and they were terribly afraid. “Don’t be afraid. This day in David’s town your savior was born—Christ the Lord. You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”

him mute it gave Zechariah the chance to become introspective and focus on the message from God. Gabriel imposed on him a nine-month spiritual retreat via a verbal fast. The prophetic words of Gabriel came to pass and his newborn son was given the name John as were the archangel’s instructions. John, cousin to Jesus, would grow to

announce the Kingdom of God, baptize in His name, and prepare the way for the Savior.

Of course, Gabriel’s most important mission was his visit to a young maiden in the obscure town of Nazareth. This was the mission that changed the world. Mary was seen by the townsfolk as an ordinary person doing ordinary things. But God

Suddenly a great army of heaven’s angels appeared with Gabriel singing praises to God: “Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth to people of good will.” Spurred on by the angels this unlikely group of rustics were in essence the first evangelists as, after visiting the Christ child, they heralded the joyous news of the birth of the Savior.

Richard S. Polizzi who was related to three past Presidents of the United States and was the model for the Suffolk County Water Authority’s literature over a thirty year period, passed away on December 22. He was 55 years old.

Polizzi died in South Shore University Hospital, Bay Shore, after an ambulance brought him there. It is believed he had a blood clot, at home in Bohemia. He had bypass surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital, only days before.

Polizzi was the great, great, grandson of John F. Fitzgerald, Rose Kennedy’s father and President John F. Kennedy’s grandfather. Polizzi’s mother, Elaine Faith Thompson did painting of JFK and Polizzi bears a striking resemblance to him.

For thirty years,

Thompson was the freelance artist producing literature for the Suffolk County Water Authority. During that time, Thompson had Polizzi model for numerous “Behind the Faucet” billing inserts, that when out to over 200,000 homes in Suffolk County. He bears a striking resemblance to Leonardo Decapia, and people were asking “How did the Water Authority get Leonardo to model for them”. He also modeled for the authority’s annual reports.

In Thompson’s most resent painting of Abraham Lincoln, Polizzi modeled for Lincoln’s hands.

Besides modeling, Polizzi has also worked in the paving industry for various companys including his father Red Thompson’s company, South Bay Asphalt in Sayville. In recent years

he shifted his profession to garage door installations.

He was loved by his wife Teresa Somers, his parents Elaine Faith Thompson, Red Thompson and the late Richard J. Polizzi, children Richard Polizzi, Madison Polizzi, Ryan Sam Dessin, his sister Dawn Mas, brother Howie Thompson, brother in law Henry Mas, sister in law Stephanie Thompson and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins and hundreds of friends especially those from Connetquot High School.

Memorial service Dec. 29, 2 to 4:30 pm and 7 to 9:30 pm at Raynor and D’Andrea F. H. at 245 Main St., W. Sayville 11796. Funeral Mass Dec. 30 at St. John Nepomucene RC Church on Locust Ave., Bohemia, burial at St. Lawrence Cemetery, Lakeland Ave., Sayville.
