Kyle Christopher McSweeney, aged 37, of Norwood, NJ passed away suddenly. He is survived by his parents Thomas and Cynthia McSweeney (nee DeGloria), his older and younger brothers Ryan and Sean McSweeney, sister in law Lauren McSweeney, and nieces whom he cherished, Taylor and Madison McSweeney.

Kyle was an employee of the State of New Jersey as a Taxation Investigator for 14 years.  He was a graduate of Northern Valley Regional High School and later earned his bachelors degree at Qunnapiac University.  He was an accomplished wrestler starting at the age of 7 winning numerous tournaments and ultimately winning the State Wrestling Tournament as a freshman in high school. His success resulted in both his brothers to join him in this demanding sport.

Kyle loved spending time at the beach and driving his car wherever the road would take him. He loved music and played guitar from the time he was eight.  Kyle had the privilege of meeting his favorite band 311, and created a personal long-term friendship with the band’s bassist P-nut. Over the years, he attended over 60 of their concerts across the country.  The ultimate gift was playing backstage at Hammerstein Theater in New York City with the bassist P-Nut when he was 17. 

Kyle was a devoted Dallas Cowboys fan and traveled several times to Dallas to watch his favorite team play in their new stadium. He was there for the first wild card playoff when they prevailed over Donovan McNabb and the Eagles.   

In his spare time, Kyle would volunteer for Peace4Paws in Westwood and transport dogs to new adopted homes. Often, he would travel hundreds of miles to help transport dogs in need of new homes.  His dedication and contributions were recognized and awarded at their annual fundraiser.  

Services will be held at Pizzi Funeral Home in Northvale, NJ on Friday November 1, 2024 from 3-7 pm with a Funeral Mass at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in Tappan, New York  on Saturday November 2, 2024 at 11 am.

Peter A. Rinaldi, Sr., 63, of Norwood, NJ, passed away on Wednesday, October 23, 2024. Beloved husband of 43 years to Lisa (nee Mistretta). Cherished father of Peter Jr. and his wife Adrienne, Patricia Towey and her husband John-Paul, Lauren Talian and her husband Alex and Matthew and his wife Melissa. Proud and loving grandfather of Taylor, Peter, Ellie, Trevor, Gino, Emilia, Penelope, Dylan, Matteo, Nico, and Arleigh. Dear brother to Denise DeMarzo and husband, Vincent, Karen Horan and husband, Chris and Vincent, Jr. and wife, Denise. He was predeceased by his mother, Arline (nee Thorpe) and his father, Vincent, Sr. Also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

Aside from his many talents, Pete was an avid, and expert hunter and sportsman. He loved spending time outside, no matter the season and no matter the task. He admired the beauty of a clean yard, after a long, hard days work, as much as he reveled in the changing colors of the autumn leaves while shed hunting in the woods.

Pete was a fixer. It didn’t matter if it was a mechanical issue with an engine, a tangled-up fishing line or a problem one of his kids was having; he was going to figure out how to fix it.

When Pete entered the room, his presence was felt by all. He didn’t go by “Big Grandpa” for no reason. When the roar of that big red truck came pulling down the street a crowd of his grand babies would be cheering, “Big Grandpa’s here!”and nothing was bigger than the smile on his face when he saw them.

His family was his world, his everything.

Only the love of our Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ can fill the hole left in our hearts. Until we meet again, in Heaven. We love you.

Visitation wil be Sunday, November 3, 2024 from 2-5 PM at Pizzi Funeral Home, 120 Paris Avenue, Northvale.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Pete’s memory to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, www.t2t.org, would be greatly appreciated.

Mirtha Griselda Paron de Lopez of Park Ridge, formerly of Pembroke Lakes, Florida, born May 13, 1941, in Villa Canas, Argentina to Juan and Obdulia Yasci Paron, passed away peacefully with family by her side on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.  She has now been reunited with her family and many loved ones that have passed before her.

Predeceased by her husband Felix Lopez for 61 years. Cherished mother of Ali Betts and her husband John. Adored Grandmother of Ashley Larkin and her husband Brian, Alex Rodriguez predeceased by her husband Pete Moulin-Malish, Danielle Betts and Johnny Betts. Proud Nonna of William and Maude Larkin.

Mirtha and Felix moved their family to Miami, Florida, in 1968. Mirtha began working in a bakery, selling delicious treats, and making homemade bread pudding in North Miami.  She taught herself English by watching TV, specifically One Life to Live, and working in a bakery.  She was born with the love of hair styling, and in 1970, began working in a hair salon in North Miami, eventually opening her own salon in 1979. In 1999, Felix and Mirtha moved to New Jersey to be with their family. As Mirtha was an avid social butterfly, she found her calling working as a cashier with A & P and then with Whole Foods, making a profound name for herself.  Mirtha was nominated as cashier of the month several times at A & P and was acknowledged by several executives as being one of the best service line employees ever to have worked at those companies.  She was such a big presence in the stores, customers would wait in line to check out with Mirtha, just so they could see her warm smile and loving personality.  She loved sports and was a huge cheerleader for the Dolphins and her beloved Argentinian futbol team. Even though she knew more about football than most people, car racing was always her favorite.  She made the best empanadas, and even got to share her delicious recipe on PIX 11. To all who met her she was a beautiful, supporting, loving friend. She spent her life working and fighting hard, and taking care of her husband. She had a lifetime of memories in Argentina, Florida, and New Jersey.

In celebration of her life, family and friends will be having an intimate gathering, with those closest to them, to share stories of all the amazing accomplishments, honoring her life.
This family asked that in lieu of flowers, please send a donation to your favorite organization or foundation in the name of Mirtha Lopez or to Saint Elizabeth Church, c/o Father Stephen Fichter, 700 Wyckoff Avenue, Wyckoff, NJ. 07481
