Howard Padernacht Way


   On Saturday November 17th the corner of Sedwick Avenue and Giles Place became "Howard Padernacht Way". Sons Michael, Daniel, and Steve joined with their mother Pam, Uncle Elliot, cousins, and over 100 other people to see the dedication of Howard Padernacht Way by Councilman G. Oliver Koppell. Mr. Howard Padernacht was the manager of the Shalom Aleichem Houses on Sedwick Avenue, and everyone said what a wonderful man Mr. Padernact was. I was told that it was Howard Padernachts dream that his three sons graduate from college which all three have done. Also on hand was former Councilman Larry Warden (another friend of Howard Padernacht) who helped get the street naming passed in the city council. Below are a few photos of the event.
 
 Sons Michael, Daniel, and Steve hold street sign in memory of their father. They are standing across the street from the apartment that their father grew up in.


 The family stands with Councilman Koppel after the sign Howard Padernacht Way is revealed. Howard Padernachts sons Steve and Michael (holding his child), wife Pam, and brother Elliot are in the front row, as third son Daniel who is partly blocked stands next to Councilman Koppell in the back row. 
The family thanked all those who came out to the street naming.
