A most unfortunate tragedy!
Montague mourns the loss of Thomas Brislin, who often amazed children under the persona of Lucky the Hobo, as he performed while showcasing his exceptional talents as a balloon sculptor, juggler, and magician at children’s parties, and at gatherings such as Montague Day, & other events.
His concern for others is what led to his untimely death, as when he found a tree fallen onto Route 23. Knowing it was in a bad location, where a car may not stop in time, he decided to begin clearing it off the roadway.
A car, rather than slowing down, sped up and hit him.
A visitation will take place on Tuesday 7/29 from 1 to 5:00PM at Knight-Auchmoody Funeral Home at 154 East Main Street, in Port Jervis NY 12771.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated 10:00AM at St. Mary's RC Church 48 Ball Street, Port Jervis.
