Sherman Knights of Columbus recently honored one of their own, Michael Conigliaro, for helping to save a member’s life. Reportedly, Conigliaro, a former state Senate candidate, saw the man pass out on the sidewalk while driving through the neighborhood. He came to the man’s assistance and waited for paramedics to arrive. Conigliaro then notified the man’s family and went door-to-door asking neighbors to look after the man’s family while he was hospitalized. Shown at the award presentation are (from left to right) Bill Kuil, Grand Knight of the Msgr. Sherman chapter; Coniglario; State Advocate Frank Bagley, representing State Deputy Carmine Musumeci; Robert Graziano, chairman of the Knights’ district deputies; and Dan Guez, district deputy.
