It was wonderful to attend my niece’s’ wedding last month in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, specifically near the glacially-formed Lake Skaneateles, NY. I’ve loved watching this young lady become the amazing mom, entrepreneur, and now wife to Owen. It was truly a special weekend I’ll long remember.

We lost a great man on Sunday. My brother-in-law’s father, Chuck Sagan, passed away suddenly as he and his wife and a large group of friends were returning from a holiday cruise in Ft. Lauderdale.
Chuck was such a sweet man – a classic Bostonian – and a true gentleman. I remember meeting him at my future father-in-law’s surprise 70th birthday party when I was just meeting the extended family I would eventually marry into, and loved him from that moment on. Talking Red Sox – or Patriots – or golf – Chuck had a thousand opinions on these topics! And the sense of family he represented to the Sagan clan was remarkable. Living in the same area as both his children – and his four grandchildren – Chuck had a tremendous impact on their lives in ways atypical in today’s culture.
I will think back to his grandson Austin’s bar mitzvah this past Fall and remember him (as pictured above) providing a blessing before the Shabbat meal with his wife and soulmate Phyllis. His life was a blessing, and he is already missed, terribly, by all those he touched in Swampscott, Boston and beyond.
The family headed to Boston – well, the North Shore to be exact – to join in the festivities around Austin’s Bar Mitzvah. We stayed with the Hogan crew at a quaint little home on a pond in Marblehead, and had a great time.
