Daniel Carroll Kilkeary
Services for Daniel Carroll Kilkeary are scheduled 12:05 p.m. Wednesday, August 14, at St. Gregory’s Catholic Church.
Daniel died Aug. 5 in Sitka, at the age of 88.
He was born July 25, 1936, in Ontario, Canada, the son of Joseph and Elia (Delaney) Kilkeary. When he was 4 the family moved to Hoboken, New Jersey, and he became a U.S. citizen when he was 9.
He entered the U.S. Air Force in 1955, and served in the South Pacific then stateside.
He left the service in 1959, and settled in Brooklyn, New York, where he worked for some 25 years in real estate then opened his own moving business.
One of his pleasures over the years was watching sports – early on he was a fan of Joe Namath and the New York Jets, the New York Yankees and the New York Rangers.
He moved to Sitka from Brooklyn in February 2022.
Daniel is survived by his son Daniel J. Kilkeary, daughter-in-law Patrina Kilkeary, and grandchildren Leah, Stewart of Ketchikan and Rebecca Cropley, Elizabeth Hardison, Katherine Sullivan and Daniel James Kilkeary, all of Sitka; daughter Elizabeth Moskowitz of Quoque, New York, and son-in-law Mike Moskowitz and grandson Simon; son Michael F. Kilkeary and granddaughter Emily of Weehawken, New Jersey; and daughter Mary Kate Kutney and son-in-law Ron Kutney, and grandchildren Ian and Paige of Fanwood, New Jersey.
Great-grandchildren are Christopher Cropley, Michael Cropley, Julie Hardison, Khloe Stewart and Alice Sullivan.
Thanks to the generosity and expertise of the the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska broadband department, Tidal Network ; Christopher Cropley, director of Tidal Network; and Luke Johnson, Tidal Network technician, SitkaSentinel.com is again being updated. Tidal Network has been working tirelessly to install Starlink satellite equipment for city and other critical institutions, including the Sentinel, following the sudden breakage of GCI's fiberoptic cable on August 29, which left most of Sitka without internet or phone connections. CCTHITA's public-spirited response to the emergency is inspiring.
