RIP Kevin Peter Carroll

 

 

Memorial Visitation on Friday, June 21st from 3- 8 pm at Clavin’s Funeral Home 7722 4th Avenue Brooklyn. See here 

 

A memorial mass celebrating Kevin Peter’s life will be on June 22nd at 11:15 am at  Holy Name of Jesus Church at  245 Prospect Park West in Brooklyn. 

I was shocked to hear the news that Kevin Peter Carroll died. 

 

 

He was so young – just  33 years old (his birthday was in May).  

 

 

Carroll’s body was found in his apartment on (June 2nd – Clavin listed it) Bklyner article here)  

 

 

Kevin Peter Carroll spent most of his life being active in Bay Ridge and helping his community.

In recent years, he was proud to be the 64th District Democratic Male Leader in Bay Ridge.   Carroll was also a former member of Community Board 10.   

Kevin’s old boss wrote this about Kevin:

 

Kevin’s  life wasn’t easy the past two years. He lost his Mom in 2017 while he was running a campaign for city council.

Kevin’s cousin wrote this:

 

 

 

 

May he rest in peace.

 

 

Prayers for his sisters, family and friends.

Fireworks in Bay Ridge

 

 

If you are in Bay Ridge and hear fireworks, it is because people are celebrating Eid.

It’s the end of the fasting and a day of celebration.

Sing for Hope Piano in Bay Ridge

 


 

Every June, the Sing for Hope organization puts painted pianos into communities in New York. I LOVE to play the Sing for Hope piano at Shore Road Park, as I learned t0 play on a similar style piano and it’s amazing to play outdoors. 

 

 

 

 

The piano at 90th Street and Shore Road was designed by Jessica Browne-White. The theme is:”Love is in your hands.”  Read more about the artist’s intentions here.  This was designed for our community, as “Luna” was designed for Coney Island.

 

 

 

 

Last year, the piano in Sunset Park was destroyed intentionally when it was outside, so they didn’t get one this year. However, the one below will be  in Industry City:

 

 

 

See all of the pianos here – I will stop and visit them in the area as they are beautiful and fun to play.

The pianos will be out until June 23rd and then they are donated to educational institutions.
