ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY – It is with great sadness that we share the passing of well-known Rockland resident Dan DeSerio.

Dan SeSerio was well known and respected to the residents, workers and business owners of the Towns of Nyack, Piermont and Spring Valley. “The beautiful soul who brightened not only your windows but your day, has tragically passed. He was the victim of a hit-and-run accident as he was crossing the street in his hometown of Pomona on Friday, the 26th of January.

We know he would want you all to be assured that he didn’t consider this so much a job, but a gift. It gave him immeasurable joy to spend his days in your towns, getting to know you all, chatting and being a part of your lives over the past 25 years. He cherished especially the memories of bringing his sons down to help him wash windows as he laughed and bonded with them. He knew that time together with them was a special gift. We can tell you, too, that a week didn’t go by where he didn’t say, “I love my window business.” (Well, maybe Halloween-paint-removal time!)

He loved the shop and restaurant owners and workers he met, and the passersby he greeted. In a world where personal contact is being replaced by electronics, he cherished every connection he made, and genuinely gifted his radiant smile and time to everyone whose path he crossed. Often, we’d giggle over the fact that though he was 72, he would find a way to do this for another 20 years if he could.

We know he would want to tell you all, “Thank you for the opportunity to touch your lives in whatever small or big way and for being a very special part of mine.”
He will, no doubt, be watching over the towns he was a fixture in for so many years. God’s grace be upon his soul and may he Rest in Peace.
His loving family. “ (post by Alyssa Jill)

Visitation will be held on Thursday, February 1st from 4pm to 8pm at TJ McGowan and Sons Funeral Home in Garnerville

The Camp Shanks Museum commemorates the military facility that served as the largest point of embarkation for soldiers headed for the front lines in North Africa and Europe during World War II, including the landing forces for the D-Day invasion. Opened in 1942, Camp Shanks contained 1,500 barracks, mess halls, theaters, a hospital, and other buildings where some 1.5 million G.I.s (approximately 40,000 a month) were issued combat equipment and underwent final inspections before shipping overseas. Most soldiers spent eight to 12 days at the self-supporting complex dubbed “Last Stop, U.S.A.” Located in a simulated barracks, the museum contains artifacts and photographs that recount the history of Camp Shanks and describe the everyday life of male and female soldiers at the facility. A Wall of Honor lists servicemen and women who spent time there.
