The Levittown School District honored former Board of Education trustee Kevin Regan Sr., who passed away on Oct. 19 2015, during the July 5 dedication of the Kevin Regan Sr. Memorial Sports Center located at Levittown Memorial Education Center’s athletic field. Attended by family, friends, district faculty and community, the event was an opportunity to memorialize Regan for his contributions and unwavering support for Levittown’s students.
During his blessing, Father Ralph Sommer described Regan as a man who had faith and love for the community.
“Every time you walk across the field, think of Kevin and honor him by acting in the noble way he lived his life,” he said.
Board of Education vice president Peggy Marenghi described Regan as “larger than life” and a person whose focus was on a healthy and safe lifestyle. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tonie McDonald also noted that his focus was purely about doing what was good for the community and the children of Levittown.
Wife Joann Regan then cut the red ceremonial ribbon as family members looked on. She described her husband as someone who was always a person who wanted to put children first.
“The family and I have come to realize how many lives Kevin, Sr. touched,” she said. “Whether a friend or family member, thanks for being here today.”
