Here Are Funeral Arrangements for the Bucks County Victims
This past Sunday, more than a thousand people gathered at the Garden of Reflection 9/11 Memorial in Newtown to commemorate the four men whose brutal murders attracted national attention last week.
Miles from the event was the Solebury Township farm where police found the men’s bodies on July 12th, less than 24 hours before 20-year-old Cosmo DiNardo confessed to shooting, killing and burying them on the property, which his family owns. DiNardo’s cousin, 20-year-old Sean Kratz, was also charged in three of the killings.
The victims are 19-year-old Dean Finocchiaro, 19-year-old Jimi Taro Patrick, 22-year-old Mark Sturgis and 21-year-old Tom Meo. Here are obituaries and funeral arrangements for each of them:
