They were my downstairs neighbors for many years. Clare was a wonderful person. Open, kind, generous, and sweet. They were so happy with me. Harry, her husband, was so sad when she died, that he moved to Harrisburg, PA to be with his family. he died there. Today was the 25th anniversary of her obituary: Dec. 19, 1998 I thought about her all day. Then I saw it was the anniversary. She died of scleroderma. I hope they find a cure. GROTHE-Clare (nee O'Dea). Beloved wife of Harry. Devoted daughter of Mary O'Dea. Loving sister of Joseph O'Dea, Maureen Flood, Ann James, Eileen Riordan, and Martin O'Dea. Cherished aunt of 26 nieces and nephews and many grand nieces and nephews. A dedicated nurse and loving caregiver. We are saddened by her loss.

He enjoyed being a cop and had many great friendships with his fellow officers.These days, the word legend gets thrown out casually but how many can say they went to the Seminary, guarded Lew Alcinder and went to Vietnam all in the span of 5 years!

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated Saturday at 11 AM at St. Anthony’s Church, Northvale. In lieu of flowers or donations, the next time you see a nurse, doctor, police officer or fireman, tell them 'thank you' or buy them a drink. Marty would have loved that. ww.pizzifuneralhome.com
