THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 10, 2021 Page 17 MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6 temporaries: Eddie Van Halen and the skinny boogie-woogie piano player Preacher Jack. South Shore musician Joey “Fingers” could not make the memorial, but... “I was disappointed I had to miss the Preacher’s memorial service. I still hold him in high regard. “I remember how reluctant I was to participate in the early ‘Garage Nights’ just because the Preacher would be performing. I really was intimidated but the Preacher put me at ease. I will always cherish my ‘Rock and Roll Preacher’ record album that he kindly autographed, ‘From one piano player to another.’ I wish I had a video of our duet at Geezer’s cookout, another fond memory. He once said to me, ‘I wish you and I and Jerry Lee could have a conversation.’ Could I have received a bigger compliment?” Before you knew it, an hour fifteen had passed. All present felt a connection. All present wished they had one more night sitting to Jack’s left watching him perform magic. I’d like to personally thank everybody who came out for the memorial service and those who reached out to me through the miracle of social media. Most in attendance I knew (thank you, Jeannie and Prez); some I did not; all were a welcome sight. It was a very special day – more of a celebration than a day of sadness. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate all of you taking time from your busy lives to attend. George did such a fabulous job organizing this. You done Jack proud, my friend. George concluded the turnout with a recording of Mahalia Jackson’s “Amazing Grace.” Not a dry eye in the house. Jack Lincoln Coughlin would have lost it! Preacher Jack would have loved it! You’re back home, John; rest peacefully now, my friend. “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – it is with much sadness that I mention that we will not have Steve Carpenter at our next MHS class reunion. Word just filtered down that Steve passed away unexpect~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Virtual Public Hearing, and 2020 Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) 15-Day Public Comment Period The Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development (OSPCD) has completed a draft of the FY 2020-21 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) and is making it available for public review and comment for 15 days – September 10, 2021 through September 25, 2021.

A Linden “character” of immense athletic ability, Steve Carpenter stories are many. Any discussion of the greatest Malden athletes from the past 50 years must include Carpy. Rest in peace, Steve. “Simply the Best” – 1956-2021 – by Paul Amoroso: “As I continue to reminisce and mourn his passing, I suddenly realized today that I never did refer to him as ‘Carpy,’ a term of endearment nickname if you will for those who knew him that became virtually synonymous with someone who excelled athletically because that’s how good he was. Anyone who knew Steven was fully aware of his ability and accomplishments. He was a natural, and while the rest of us early in life struggled in comparison to fi nd our place through sports to be accepted, Steven Carpenter eff ortlessly would stand out above all others. “He was gifted and although his accomplishments are certainly what makes Steven worth remembering for those not fortunate enough to know him personally, it was his jovial na~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI21C0868CA In the matter of: Muhammad Hamza Yousef CITATION ON PETITION TO CHANGE NAME A Petition to Change Name of Adult has been filed by Muhammad Hamza Yousef of Malden, MA requesting that the court enter a Decree changing their name to: Muhammad Hamza Yousuf IMPORTANT NOTICE Any person may appear for purposes of objecting to the petition by filing an appearance at: Middlesex Probate and Family Court before 10:00 a.m. on the return day of 09/24/2021.
