Memorial, Award in Works for Late Malverne LL Volunteers
Community to honor Dennis Giordano and Bernard Havern Jr.
Within nine months, the Village of Malverne lost two extraordinary residents: Dennis Giordano and Bernard Havern Jr.
Now, residents and friends are working make sure the memories of the late duo live on.
The effort will start with a memorial tree that the Malverne Little League is dedicating to Giordano’s service to the little league and to the community of Malverne. The tree dedication will take place on June 23 at 9:30 a.m. at Whelan Field.
