Obituary:
Please keep the following members
The Society morns the loss of one of our best, Ray McKenna, age 59, after fighting a long illness. May he rest in peace.
Cranston Police Chief Thomas M. Harrington, Ret. age 74, a 30 year veteran of the department, and he also served as Registrar of Motor Vehicles for the State of R.I. for 15 years. He served his country in the U.S. Army, his state at the MVD, and his city of Cranston, well. He was man of integrity, and had a great sense of humor. He and his wife, Rosanna, also an administrator at the MVD served many of us well. ( and we certainly did pester them!- without a complaint.).
