Our pal, Tom Rooney
Brooklyn Paper editor Gersh Kuntzman pays his respects to Prospect Heights resident and neighborhood activist Tom Rooney in his weekly neighborhood column:
Our pal, Tom Rooney, a lifelong Carlton Avenue resident, chief usher at St. Augustine’s Roman Catholic Church, and stalwart Atlantic Yards opponent, was found dead in his home on Oct. 14. The Bishop Laughlin HS graduate, who spoke Gaelic and played a mean Irish fiddle, was beloved in Prospect Heights for his generosity, warmth, and involvement in the community. Our condolences to his family and his countless friends.
