Sandy Hook fathers’ presentation Nov. 2

Fathers who lost children to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in 2012 will give a virtual talk, “Reflections of Sandy Hook: Four Fathers, Four Journeys,” presented virtually by Northampton Community College (NCC) on Tuesday, Nov 2, 7 p.m. The fathers will discuss grief, loss and hope after tragedy. Students, staff, faculty and community members are welcome to access the talk.

The fathers: David Wheeler is on the board of directors of Sandy Hook Promise and an advisory member of the board of Ben’s Lighthouse, a community organization named in honor of his son Ben. Mark Barden leads policy and outreach efforts for Sandy Hook Promise since the loss of his son Daniel and has dedicated himself to bringing people together to find sensible solutions that will help prevent future tragedies. Ian Hockley leads Dylan’s Wings of Change full time, a foundation named after his son Dylan, who had autism and attended Sandy Hook due to the quality of its special needs program. The fourth father was Jeremy Richman, who co-founded the Avielle Foundation with his wife in honor of their daughter Avielle. Richman tragically died by suicide in 2019. As part of the original circuit, the fathers honor his memory in keeping the program name.
