Statement from Representative McNamara on the passing of Alan Shawn Feinstein
|
STATE HOUSE — Rep. Joseph M. McNamara (D-Dist. 19, Warwick, Cranston) has released the following statement on the passing of Rhode Island philanthropist Alan Shawn Feinstein.
“I am deeply saddened by the loss of my constituent and friend, Alan Shawn Feinstein, whose love and generosity impacted the lives of generations of Rhode Islanders. I met him in 1976 when I opened my first ice cream shop, Joe’s Dairy Shop in Cranston, and we developed a friendship over the years as his children grew. He was always warm and down-to-earth, encouraging children and adults alike to do good deeds, and challenging us all to make the world a better place. Students, schools, and all of Rhode Island are a little bit better because he lived here. His loss will be profoundly felt and I will personally miss him.”
