John F.Twomey, a 44 year resident of Greenwich Village passed away on March 27th after a brief illness.
John was born in Salem MA and upon graduation from Brandeis University, came to New York to pursue a career in theatre. He was also an accomplished singer and pianist.
Aside from his beloved Greenwich Village, John was also a summer resident of Cherry Grove for many years.
John is survived by sister Marie Fielding of Florida and brother Paul Twomey of Mass; nieces Katie Fielding and Ariana Twomey and nephews Tom Fielding and John Twomey and great niece Quinn Fielding and great nephew Aidan Fielding as well as a large circle of loving friends.
Plans for a memorial service are pending.
Good morning WVN…in May you published an obituary for John Twomey, who was a close friend to someone whose life I’ve been researching for the last two years. I’d much rather have “found” John myself while he was still alive, but in fact it was your notice that allowed me to find him at all. I’m hoping that at some point you were in contact with members of his immediate family, and would be willing to pass on their contact information, or mine to them. In the 1970s John knew a young musician/actress named Judi Resnick, with whom he went to school at Brandeis University, and recorded music while in NYC. I’m hopping further that among his possessions were evidence of his friendship with Judi, & that his family might be willing to share them with me. If you can help it would be so very greatly appreciated. –Galad Elflandsson, Morningstar Productions, PO Box 165, Camden East, Ontario, Canada K0K 1J0
