On Saturday-10- October Mr. Edward P. Sweeney of Bogota passed away. Owner of the New Horizon Financial Corporation Mr. Sweeney will be known for is his work with the Students of Bogota. Using New Horizon as an extra classroom he trained and mentored many Bogota High School Seniors, while introducing them into the world of Finance. Some of his proteges would stay with him at new Horizons, while others would move on to start careers on their own. He was informed recently that he was nominated and elected Bogota Citizen of the Year, an honor he cherished and was excited to receive.
The biggest part of Mr. Sweeney legacy will be his devotion to the Student Athletes of Bogota. From his sponsoring of Little League teams, to coaching St. Joseph's basketball and his donations to the Bogota High School Sports and Academic with his scholarship programs. Mr. Sweeney was a constant fixture at many Varsity Home games. Either stationed at the East End Zone of Feigel Field, or in the Front row at Speary Gym Ed would always be available to talk or just say hello. He would allow a brief question about businesses, as long as it did not distract him from watching Bucs player during their games.
