Proud Member of the Observer Media Family of Community-Owned and Written Newspapers & Websites Volume 8 • Issue 7 July 2016 Neighbors Turn Out to Walk & Roll Veteran’s Park Dedication by Julia DiBaggio on E. 185th Street With the school year coming to an end, it On Sunday, June 12th 2016, Northeast Ohio was uncharacteristically sunny as Collinwood dedicated its first veteran’s memorial at Vet- erans Park at the intersection of Lakeshore Blvd and Nottingham Rd to honor those who have fought for our freedoms. The marble monument, donated by Nagy Monuments on Waterloo Road, captures the emblems of the five divisions of the Armed Forces with stunning detail.

If we could answer these honestly and positively, then we have lived our lives as any good Christian should, as any good person does. On the morning of Sunday, June 12, we lost a good man in George Voinovich; a friend, a husband, a father, grandfather and a man of service. During the time since then we heard so much about who he was and what he had accomplished. Each of us has their own memories. He had his own ways but these made him who he was. He was proud of his Slovenian and Serbian by Mary Louise Daley roots and he carried his Collinwood pride An old saying implores that we “remember before him; “Once a Railroader…Always a the dash between the years of our birth and Railroader.” our death.
