IN MEMORIAM: DAVID AHERN: David Scott Ahern of Merrimack, New Hampshire, passed away on September 19, 2017, surrounded by family, at the age of 50. Ahern worked for more than 30 years as an elevator mechanic. After graduating from Lowell Vocational Technical School in 1986, he worked at his father’s company, Ahern Elevator, then Burlington Elevator and, finally, Stanley Elevator, where he made several lifelong friendships. Ahern is survived by his wife of 22 years, Linda; daughter, Rebecca; stepdaughter, Toni Mignosa; stepson, Paul Olin; sister, Kathleen Batcheller; mother, Lynda Parisi; father, Frederick, Jr.; stepsister KariShane Zimmerman; and several cousins. The family requested that contributions in his honor be made to the National Parkinson’s Disease Association New Hampshire Chapter. QUARTET OF TOWERS PROPOSED ACROSS RIVER FROM MANHATTAN: If developer Edward Elanjian of Denver-based EnviroFinance Group can overcome local opposition, four residential towers ranging from 595 to 714 ft., or approximately 55 and 65 stories, respectively, will be built in Edgewater, New Jersey, on a narrow strip of land near the riverfront at 615 River Road, New York YIMBY reports. The plan includes a 50-ft. podium with a rooftop garden and other amenities. No completion date or architect has been confirmed, but increased ferry accessibility to Manhattan, along with rapid growth in Jersey City and Manhattan’s Midtown West, bodes well for the project.
