Farewell Rodney Swanger It is with great sadness that I must inform our LOFT family of the unexpected passing of Rodney Swanger, long-time member, Men's Group facilitator, and friend to all. Rodney passed unexpectedly from an apparent heart attack on Friday. He would have been 56 years old this July. There will be a Requiem Mass for Rodney this Saturday, February 4th, at 2 pm at The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, 191 South Greeley Avenue, Chappaqua, NY 10514. Directions to the Church can be found at www.smtv.org. The parish phone number is 914-238-8751. We are planning a bereavement session here at The LOFT in the next week, and joined by LOFT staff, we'll share about how Rodney touched us all. More information on this coming soon, so please check back. I have had the privilege of knowing Rodney since I first came to The LOFT over ten years ago, and I will always remember his friendliness, his cheerful demeanor, his deep wisdom, and his devotion to the LOFT Community. We mourn the loss of a great person, who had so much more to give had he not been taken from us so soon. He will be greatly missed. David Juhren LOFT Executive Director
