Jim, Hugh and Jianny are enduring examples of Service Above Self

The Rotary new year starts with excitement and hope on July 1st but very often we are grounded by the realities of life; in particular with the loss of our very dear friends, our fellow Rotarian’s.

Sadly since the beginning of the our new Rotary year we have lost three great Rotarian’s that I am aware of:

Jim Mahon – North Haven Rotary

Hugh Campbell – Colchester Rotary

Jianny Bianchi Keegan – North Haven Rotary

Jim joined Rotary in 1971 while Hugh joined in 1975, they both enjoyed many years of fellowship and service in Rotary and were inspirations to everyone around them. Jianny was relatively new to Rotary as she joined in 2011 but like most of us, she jumped in with both feet. You probably encountered Jianny if you attended a District event in the past 2 years as she was the lady with the big smile that checked you in.

We will all miss Jim, Hugh and Jianny and how they helped to make our world a better place.

Update: Old Saybrook President, Gerri Lewis, wanted us to keep Alan Lindquist in our thoughts. Alan passed on June 6, 2013. He was a true Rotarian in every sense of the word. He was kind, generous and just an all around wonderful man and the epitome of Rotary
