William Gestwick (1954)
William Gestwick (1954) died in Richmond, VA on March 29, 2009. I'm sorry to announce the death of William J. Gestwick, class of 1954. Bill lived in Richmond and attended many of the local alumni events before he began to have health problems. Could you please notify the correct office at Villanova so that his death notice could appear in the next alumni newsletter. He died on March 29, 2009, leaving his wife, Barbara Ann, five children, fourteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He retired from his position at the Bureau of Insurance at the State Corporation Commission. He was a devoted fan of Villanova. Almost all of the pictures we picked for a collage to be displayed at his viewing contained Bill with one of his many Villanova hats. In the winter, he would never go out without his navy and white scarf. He had been in the hospital for six weeks and never wanted the TV turned on but the night before he died, he laid in bed with me holding his hand and he watched the entire Villanova vs Pitt game. He died about four hours later. I'm sure that Bill's got one of the best seats for the Final Four - he's got a sky box.

Joseph T. Mooney Jr., 74, of Kimberton, retired owner of a company and a philanthropist, died of complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Sunday at Cape Regional Medical Center in Cape May Court House, N.J.
Mr. Mooney grew up in Bala Cynwyd and graduated from St. Joseph's Preparatory School. He earned a bachelor's degree from Villanova University and then served in the Marine Corps in North Carolina and Florida.

His public charity was recognized with awards from Villanova and the Marine Corps; an honorary degree from the seminary; and the Papal Order of St. Gregory the Great from the Vatican.

Privately, he funded many Catholic schools, churches and convents, his son said.

Mr. Mooney was past president of the Phoenixville Chamber of Commerce, the United Way of Chester County, and the Phoenixville Area Economic Development Corp.

He enjoyed fishing at his summer home in Sea Isle City, N.J., and at his winter home on Sanibel Island, Fla. He and his wife, Awilda Ramos Mooney, traveled extensively, and visited South America this year.

Born in Jamaica, Queens in 1936 to Thomas and Mae Briody, "Pat" Briody graduated from Villanova University in 1957 with a degree in English, and served in the Marine Corps in Parris Island, S.C. He moved to Ridgefield with his family in 1972 and lived on Mimosa Circle.

Over the past 17 years Mr. Briody split his time between Newtown and New York City. In Newtown he lived on Buck-Eye Farm with his friends and landlords Paul and Helen Krueger. In New York City he enjoyed visiting museums, taking in jazz at The Blue Note, and catching Broadway plays.

He also loved to travel. He'd been all around the world, recently making it all the way to the South Pole. On July 27th he celebrated his 72nd birthday with all his children in Chicago and caught his first Cubs game at Wrigley Field.

Mr. Briody is survived by seven children: John Briody of Glastonbury, Mary Briody of New Mexico, Kevin Briody of Ridgefield, Joe Briody of Storrs, Patti Briody Renaud of Glastonbury, Laurence Briody of Westport, Dan Briody of Ridgefield, and by their mother, Dolores Lapetina Briody of Milford. He is also survived by a brother, Thomas, of Wilton and sister, Mary Lou Mahowald, of Chicago.

Mr. Briody is also survived by 21 grandchildren, including Addison, Liam, Eli, Liza, Anita, Sam, Terra, Casey, Cavan, Mae, John, Caitlin, Patrick, Seamus, Joe, Annie Rose, Abbey, Lucy, Annabel, Sam and Evie.
