Find out tonight » February 26, 2008Funeral today for convicted former Lincoln administratorFuneral services for former Lincoln Town Administrator Jonathan F. Oster are scheduled for today at 11 a.m. at Sugarman-Sinai Memorial Chapel. Oster killed himself less than a day after he was found guilty of two counts of bribery and two counts of conspiracy for a scheme he was involved in when he headed the town of Lincoln, from 2001 to 2002. Because Oster died before an appeal -- which his lawyer says he planned to file -- was resolved, under Rhode Island law, his conviction must be vacated, according to the state's Attorney General's office. Oster's family has asked that a donation to the Cove Center, which offers vocational training and support to people with behavioral and mental health problems, be made in lieu of flowers.

This is such a tragic story on so many levels.
Prayers to Oster's family and friends, as well as for the Town of Lincoln, RI and all who live there.
It is ironic that Jonathan Oster lived but a few streets over from Daniel O'Neil, who died at Virginia Tech last year. Down the street from the O'Neil's and Osters lived the Garvey girls, whose sister died in the Station Nightclub disaster.
