Book about youngest victim to help raise funds for Station Nightclub Memorial

Posted

February 20 will mark the 14th anniversary of the Station Nightclub fire, the fourth largest nightclub fire in U.S. history. 

Dave Kane, father of the youngest victim of the fire, 18-year-old Nicholas O’Neill, has written a book about the many signs his family has received from Nick since his passing.

“This is so much bigger than Nick,” Kane said in a recent interview. He said he and his wife are not alone in knowing those who have left us can reach out and touch us.

Barrington Books (Garden City and Barrington) and Barnes and Noble (Smithfield Crossings and Warwick) are selling the book during the month of February. All monies from the purchase of the book will go directly to the Station Fire Memorial Foundation.

41 Signs of Hope is an intriguing, moving, uplifting and inspirational account of the hundreds of inexplicable signs and messages of assurance that Nick has been sending to his family, friends and, yes, even strangers, to let them know that “all is well.”

A year before his passing, Nick wrote a one-act play called “They Walk Among Us.” The play is about teenagers who have died and return as angels. There is also an award winning documentary called “41” about Nick’s life and the way he touched and continues to touch the hearts of so many people. 

The message that 41 Signs of Hope offers is that our loved ones who have passed are still with us in a very real sense. They send us signs every day. There are no coincidences. Just as you would never leave them, they are not leaving you. You are not alone.

Work on the Station Fire Memorial, located at the site of the Station Nightclub, where 100 lost their lives, has continued throughout the winter. A dedication is being planned for this spring.

The Station Fire Memorial Foundation, co-chaired by fire survivor Gina Russo and former governor Donald Carcieri, has raised $2 million in donations to make the memorial a reality.
