Right at Home of Central New Jersey
Will Always Be a Fan of Singer Steve Lawrence Who Is Battling Alzheimer's Disease
The right people, doing the right things,
the right way, for the right reasons.
Right at Home.
For those of us who are baby boomers and grew up watching the great entertainment variety and talk shows that used to populate our airwaves, the husband-and-wife singing duo of Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme were frequent and welcome guests in our homes.
Born in Brooklyn and married for 55 years (before Eydie Gorme died in 2013), Steve and Eydie were described by Frank Sinatra as "all that is good about performers and interpretation of a song. They're the best".
Although he largely stopped performing after his wife's death, Steve Lawrence remained one of the best singers of his generation. So for all of his many fans, it was sad news to read today that he had announced that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. In a statement released on his behalf, Steve Lawrence reported that he's in the early stages of the disease and being treated by doctors who, he says, have managed to slow down the disease.
It's because of the insidious nature of this awful disease that can strike anyone - famous or not, rich or poor, male or female - that we at Right at Home of Central New Jersey are so dedicated and determined and are working so hard this year to " Smash Out Alzheimer's " through our fundraising events over the next few months. Please consider joining us on our journey.
We join with all the music lovers of the world in wishing Steve Lawrence and his family well, knowing the difficult road they have ahead of them. We thank him for all the years of entertainment he has provided to us!
