DePauw, Dr. Rev. Gommar A.   
DePAUW-Rev. Dr. Gommar A., J.C.D., Founder-President of The Catholic
Traditionalist Movement and a U.S. Citizen, was born October 11, 1918, in
Stekene, Belgium, to a distinguished family which included early American
settlers. At the outbreak of World War II he fought as a combat medic and was
taken prisoner at the Battle of Dunkirk. After escaping from prison camp he
returned to the seminary to complete his studies by special indult of the Holy
See. He was ordained a priest in 1942 and served as a battlefield chaplain
until the end of the war. After post-graduate studies at the University of
Louvain, he earned a Bachelors in Canon Law and the triple major licentiate in
Canon Law, Moral Theology and Church history. In 1949, Fr. DePauw came to the
U.S. and while serving as a parish priest in New York City, he prepared for
his doctoral dissertation at The Catholic University of America where he was
promoted to Doctor in Canon Law. In 1952 he accepted the Chair of Moral
Theology in Canon Law at Mt. St. Mary's Seminary in Maryland which he held for
13 years. Between 1962 and 1965 Father DePauw participated in the Second
Vatican Council as a personal expert and procurator. During this time he
publicly launched the Catholic Traditionalist Movement in 1965. The Holy See
placed him under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Tivoli Rome so he could
continue his leadership of the Catholic Traditionalist Movement. Father DePauw
has contributed to several well known publications as well as publishing his
own. Most notable among them his "Quote Unquote" and "Peace through Strength."
In 1968, he established the Ave Maria Chapel in Westbury, N.Y., which became
the first and only publicly functioning Traditionalist Church parish in the
world. Besides being an influential voice in Church affairs, Father DePauw was
also influential in addressing issues facing the nation, culminating in
meetings with President Reagan. Father DePauw was recognized by numerous
international organizations for his leadership roles most notable among them,
Community Leaders of America and Who's Who in the World. Father passed to his
well earned eternal reward on Friday, May 6, 2005. Reposing, Donohue Cecere

Garner, Elizabeth
GARNER-Elizabeth, or Liz Garner as she preferred to be called, was never one
to take "no" for an answer. A resident of Farmingdale, she graduated Hofstra
University with a degree in Elementary Education. Liz (age 48) passed in her
sleep on the morning of May 6, 2005, It will not be her passing that people
will remember, it will be her deep enthusiastic love of the arts, people and
life that will bring forth the smiles for years to come. Despite losing her
vision to diabetes at age 28, Miss Garner's greatest accomplishments were to
come after an event that would have left most bitter. It merely proved to be a
catalyst as Liz would go onto travel the country participating in sporting
events for the blind, including her personal passion, swimming. She became a
featured speaker and regular representative for the Smithtown Guide Dog
Foundation and was featured in over a dozen newspaper articles and photographs
for her hard work assisting others. She became a lobbyist in both Washington,
DC and Albany, for the American Disabilities Act, and was featured on
television shows such as "The God Squad". A huge supporter of the arts,
undoubtedly formed when she studied Television Production at Nassau Community
College in the late '70's. Liz owned thousands of CD's and was a loyal fan of
live theatre, musical performances and stand-up comedy, absorbing as much as
she could find time for and enthusiastically introducing all areas of the arts
to others. She was also very active in the Massapequa Park Lions Club, and
seemed to the first person to buy tickets to every fundraiser she encountered.
Liz is survived by her husband, Bill Hilton, mother Edith, brother Steven,
sister Alison and brother-in-law Bruce. Paul and Jan Gilbert (a childhood
friend) will preside over the services on Monday 8PM at the Arthur F. White
Funeral Home, Inc., Conklin St. (Hempstead Tpke) Farmingdale, NY. Memorial
