Applications available for John F. Ginley scholarship

Warwick - The applications for the John F. Ginley memorial scholarship are now available at the guidance office in Warwick Valley High School. The Ginley family established the scholarship fund in the memory of John F. Ginley, a lieutenant with the FDNY, Engine 40, in Manhattan who died on September 11, 2001. His family describe John as a devoted husband to April and father to Taylor and Connor. He was involved in all his children’s many activities; he was also active with the PTA. John loved golf and skiing. His wife and children, his parents Joe and Betty, as well as his brothers Joe, Bob, Pat Tim and their families all live in Warwick. In his memory and in an effort to give something back to the community he loved so much, the Ginley Family has set up a scholarship in the amount of $500 a year for four years (totaling $2,000) to a Warwick Valley High School student attending college. The Ginley family hopes that the applicants will have similar community spirit and love of family that John had. Applications are due back by May 31. The winner will be notified in June.
