There will be a Memorial Mass for William E. Wingate Jr. on Saturday, January 14th, 2017, at 11:00 am, at Divine Mercy Catholic Church, 1940 North Courtenay Parkway, Merritt Island, Florida, 32953.

A reception hosted by the family will immediately follow the Mass, location to be announced. A second Mass will be scheduled for family and friends in the Huntington, New York area, at a later date.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family asks that friends support the local Marine Toys for Tots program. Information can be found at: http://www.toysfortots.org/ The local group supporting Dad's home in Florida is listed under "Barefoot Bay" or "Brevard County"; the local group for Dad's previous home in Huntington, NY is listed under "Amityville" or "Suffolk County". Toys for Tots seeks donations year-round in support of their charitable work.

Thanks for your support through this very trying time.
