Truckers said goodbye to one of their own with a special caravan in Seymour.
In a trend reflecting national funeral service changes, the Ansonia valley area is seeing increases in creative memorial services to honor the lives of those lost.
“As no two people are alike, no two memorial services are any longer,” states Jerry Macari Jr, President and Senior Director of Miller Macari Family Funeral Home in Seymour. “We take great pride in working with families to create memorial tributes as unique as the person whose life is being celebrated.”

Oh, 1992, what a year!
Steven Spielberg made a bad movie called “Hook” in 1992, yet it still managed to capture the top spot of the box office this week back in the day!
“The Simpsons” aired against “The Cosby Show” this week in ’92 — and lost in the ratings!
The no. 1 song in the U.S. this week in 1992 was Michael Jackson’s “Black or White.”
Fun fact: Nirvana’s first hit, “Smells Like Spirit,” jumped from no. 13 to no. 6 and was the only rock tune (then called ‘alternative’ and later, ‘grunge’) in the top 10.
Here is what was happening in our Valley, as stolen from the microfilm edition of The Evening Sentinel!
