COLLETTI Joseph
Dad, I can't believe we are even writing this, it doesn't seem right. But we
have learned that we aren't the ones who determine that. Not a day goes by
that your name doesn't come up, and you're not thought of. Not a moment passes
that we don't hear your voice and feel your guidance. Dad, you have always
been our rock, and you will always be in our hearts every day that passes.
Although we are spending our first Father's Day without you, Danny gets to
spend his first in a long time with you. We hope you know what an absolutely
amazing person, father and grandfather you are.
With All Our Love,
Michael, Christin, Jennifer,

Crisorio Sr., John P.   
ALBANY John P. Crisorio Sr., 60, of Albany, after a long illness surrounded by
his family. Born January 27, 1944, John P. Crisorio Sr. passed into the Lord's
hands on June 18, 2004. John was a member of Laborers General Construction
Local Union 190 for 38 years. Before John became ill, he worked on many
construction sites, which include the Empire State Plaza, that he would brag
to his children and grandchildren about. John was very proud to be part of
Local 190 and was very thankful for all his well wishes from his brothers and
sisters of the local. John is survived by his very devoted and loving wife,
Alice Sivaslian Crisorio, of 40 years. They shared an eternal and loving bond
which will never be broken. John suffered for many years as a diabetic. He was
a recipient of a kidney transplant in June 2001. He courageously fought for
every moment he had with his family. John was also known as a great dancer.
Also survived by his devoted parents, Guido and Jane Crisorio of Albany; his
loving and caring children and grandchildren, Michael and his wife Tracie of
Ballston Spa and their children, Emily, Rebecca, Michael Jr. and Neven, John
Jr. and his wife, Elvira of Colonie and their children, Gabriela, Maria and
John III, Tony and his wife Kerry of Delmar and their children, Anthony Jr.
and Nicholas, Christina and her husband, Paul DiBella of Albany and their
daughter, Alexandria. John is also survived by his brother, James and his
wife, Christine Crisorio of Albany; his brothers-in-law, Peter Sivaslian of
Colonie, David Sivaslian of Albany, Charles Sivaslian of Cropseyville; his
sister-in-law, Anna Wolfinger of Albany; survived also by many nieces, nephews
and friends. We will miss his sense of humor, his never-ending storytelling,
his love for tomatoes and all things Italian. Everyone who came into contact
with John loved him. The family wishes to thank all the doctors (Dr.
Schumacher's Group); the Kidney Renal Transplant Unit (Dr. Conti's Group) and
all the nurses and staff on C3 at Albany Medical Center. Thank you for all of
your caring and kindness. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, June 22, 2004
from the Chicorelli Funeral Home, 331 Delaware Ave., Albany at 8:15 a.m. and
thence to St. Theresa Avila Church at 9 a.m. where a Mass of Christian Burial
will be offered. Family and friends are invited and may call at the funeral
home Monday from 4 to 8 p.m. Interment will be at the Memory's Garden
Cemetery, Colonie, N.Y. Those wishing to remember John in a special way may

With loving memories of our Dad on Father's Day.
Somewhere a journey begins at the end of a world we know, Somewhere a path
stretches over the stars, and rivers of memories flow, Somewhere a silence is
heard far away and the brightness of day fills the night, Where the trials of
life torn to peace when a soul finds its way to the light.
Love and Miss You,
Son, Carmen and Family

HOLLOWVILLE, N.Y. John Slocum, 84, of Hollowville, died June 17, 2004 at
Columbia Memorial Hospital in Hudson after a long illness. A native of
Burlington, Vt., he lived in Hollowville since 1968 with his wife, Adele
Slocum. Mr. Slocum devoted 30 years of his life to the State University of New
York and was involved in planning and executing its growth into a major
university system. Among other roles, he served as executive dean for
four-year colleges and professional colleges, as vice president for
administration, and as a member of the three-man committee that administered
the university system during a vacancy in the chancellor's office, 1958-59.
Mr. Slocum was primarily responsible for negotiating arrangements for what
became the Stony Brook University on Long Island, one of SUNY's four flagship
research universities. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees at the
University of Chicago and his Ph.D. in industrial and labor relations at
Cornell University following Navy service in World War II. In 1965, he
returned to his original academic field and was a professor of labor economics
at the University at Albany from 1965 until his retirement in 1982. John
Slocum was also deeply committed to international education efforts and
directed the SUNY/Ford Foundation project to train Indonesian educators
(1957-73), was a research professor at the Institute of Cypriot Studies, in
Cyprus in 1971, and directed University at Albany international programs from
1966 to 1971. In addition to his wife, Adele, he is survived by a son, Peter,
and daughter-in-law, Ann Sayers, of Albany; two grandchildren, Emily Slocum of
New York City and Molly Slocum of Moose Pass, Alaska; and a sister, Janet
Franzoni, of Rutland, Vt. He was predeceased by his daughter, Sara Slocum. A
gathering of family and friends is being planned for a future date.
Contributions may be made in his name to the Columbia-Greene County Humane
Society.

Dad, I miss you so each day, my life is not the same since you went away. When
days are sad and lonely, and everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper
cheer up and carry on. Each time I see your picture, you seem to smile and
say, don't cry my Daughter we'll meet again someday.
Happy Fathers Day.
Love, Kelly
