DRIVER, 16, KILLED IN BRISTOL; ONE HURT
By: John Springer - Courant Staff Writer

  Bristol -- A 16 year-old boy was killed and another critically injured 
when the car they were riding in slammed into a tree Friday afternoon,
shortly after they left Bristol Central High School.
 Neil Simoneau-Eaton, an avid Roller hockey player who worked after 
school and weekends bagging groceries, was pronounced dead soon after 
the 2:39 p.m. crash. Police said he died instantly.
 The traffic fatality is the seventh involving a Bristol Central School 
student or recent alumnus since October 1992. Friday's crash occured in
front of 37 Crown St., near the site of a motorcycle crash in May 1993 that
claimed the life of a popular Central wrestler shortly before he was to
graduate.
 The lone passenger in Simoneau-Eaton's car -- 16 year-old Paul Keniry --
of 505 Pine St. -- was listed in critical condition Friday Night at 
ST. Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford.
 Hospital spokesman Peter Mobilia said Keniry, who was thrown from the 1988
Volkswagen Golf, suffered head and internal injuries, two broken arms and a
dislocated hip.
 "Our sympathy goes out to Neil's family. We hope everything turns out well
for Paul," said Michael Ferry, Central High School's principal. "This is a
high school tragedy. We will try and counsel the kids, work with them, talk
with them."
 Even though school was out for the day, word of the crash spread quickly at
the high school. The varsity football team played Platt High Scool in Meriden
without its cheerleaders, who decided not to make the trip.
 "The cheerleaders asked to be discharged from the game," Assistant Principal
Thomas Duffy said. "They were on the bus but they said they felt it would be
better if they did not go."
 Simoneau-Eaton's death also stunned players and coaches at Plainville Indoor
Sports Arena, where the lean, quick-footed winger player played both roller 
hockey and deck hockey.
 "This is such a shock. neil was a great kid, quiet, easy to get alon with."
said Steve Massoti, who coached Simoneau-Eaton on two teams.
"he was very good player and a mellow kid. He was very well-liked and I don't
remember any kid saying anything bad about Neil.
 Arena owner Real Lemieux said he saw Simoneau-Eaton for the last time at a 
game Thursday night. Simoneau=Eaton's solid passing and backhand shot put 
three points on the scoreboard for his teams winning effort.
 "This is just terrible. It's a big blow over here," Lemieux said.
Simoneau-Eaton was a devoted fan of the New York Rangers.
When he wasn't playing hockey or going to National Hockey League games, he
worked bagging groceries and retrieving carts at Super Stop & Shop on
Farmington Avenue.
 His boss, night manager William Corrigan, said he never received a complaint
about Simoneau-Eaton since he started working there after schools and 
weekends, Aug. 16, two weeks after his 16th birthday.
 "He was one of those employees you like to have.  He was real steady" 
Corrigan said.  "No one ever complained about him and he was well-liked."
 Co-worker Lenny Tallman, a 16-year-old student at Bristol High School, said 
Simoneau-Eaton kept to himself but was well-liked at his job.  Simoneau-Eaton
talked about being happy to get his driver's license and the Volkswagen, which
he bought for $3,000, Tallman said.
 According to state motor vehicle records the car was registered in his 
father's name on Oct. 3.
 Simoneau-Eaton was the only child of Stephen Eaton and Suzanne Simoneau.
Eaton is a lawyer on the staff of state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. 
Simoneau is editor-in-chief of the Middldtown Press and former city editor of 
the Bristol Press.
 The cause of the crash is under investigation.  Police said there were no 
witnesses, but dispatchers received several 911 calls from Crown Street 
residents who heard the impact.
 One woman said the loud noise took her away from her ironing.
From her front door, she was confronted by the sight of a gray car that was
nearly broken in half on her lawn.
 "I heard a big crash. I came outside and one of them was on, my lawn and the 
other one was slumped over the wheel of the car," said the woman, who would 
not give her name.  "I went back inside and called 911 and told them to send
everyone. When I came out and saw the car... I was shocked." 
 People living nearby said scenes of Central students fleeing the high school
in speeding cars after the final bell is not uncommon.
 "I live on the street that is right across from the high school driveway," 
said Don Michaud, a Judson Avenue resident. "And every day they come past my
house between 2 and 3 p.m: at a  high rate of speed.  They need to put radar 
here and they should leave it for a month."
 Stop & Shop manager Bob Fappiano said he did not know Simoneau-Eaton, but the
news of his death hit home nonetheless.
 "It's just terrible.  I have a 15-year-old myself," Fappiano said.
"I just dread the thought of him turning 16."

                              2ND TEEN DIES FROM ACCIDENT
                                   By Joseph Rocha
                                Courant Correspondent
          
           BRISTOL - A second Bristol Central High School student has 
          died as a result of a car accident Friday afternoon.
           Paul D, Keniry, - 16, a junior, died Saturday. at St. 
          Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford.
           Neal Simoneau-Eaton, 16, Keniry's friend and the driver of 
          the car. Died instantly in the accident which occurred on Crown
          Street.
           Keniry was declared brain dead at 12:30 p.m. Saturday,  hospital
          spokesman Pete Mobilia said. He died from "massive head and 
          significant internal injuries" from the accident, Mobilia said.
           That the two were together in the car was not unusual, Keniry's
          brother, John, said Saturday.
           "Neal had been over here every day since he got his license last 
          month, driving Paul back and forth to school," John Keniry said.
          They had been friends since meeting as Bristol Central High School
          freshmen, Keniry said.  They, shared an interest in hockey and 
          computers.
           Keniry was the only passenger in the 1988 Volkswagen Golf 
          driven by Simoneau-Eaton when it slammed into a tree.  Investigators
          still, do not know exactly what happened.
           Saturday, at the Pine Street home of Keniry's family, friends 
          gathered to console his parents, Patrick and Linda Keniry, and his 
          brother.  In a corner was the computer on which Paul Keniry often 
          communicated with Simoneau-Eaton.
           Their son was slightly brash.and more outspoken than his friend, 
          the family said, while Simoneau-Eaton was more reserved. They were
          not involved in school activities, but thier interests would pop up
          in odd ways, Patrick Keniry said. For example, they had volunteered
          to set up computer equipment at school.
           "It's ironic because they were here talking about it a week ago and
          Neal joked that they would be long gone by the time the equipment 
          came in." Patrick Keniry said.
           Patrick Kenity said that his son was on the editorial staff of a 
          nationwide computer newsletter called Cybertek. He frequently
          chatted by computer with Simoneau-Eaton or teenaged friend Laurie
          Tinnin from El Paso.
           Tinnin and Keniry had been part of a Maury Povich Television 
          show this fall on relationships spawned on computers.  
          After conversing for about two years, the teenagers finally 
          met this summer when the segment was taped, his father said.
           Simoneau-Eaton and Keniry used to jam on their guitars frequently.
          Patrick Keniry said he moved Simoneau-Eaton's amplifier from the 
          den.
           "How do I return it?" Patrick Keniry asked. "It's going to be so 
          painful. Neal was their only child." 
           The friends were the seventh and eighth Bristol Central students
          to be killed in traffic accidents in the past three years.
          Counselors are expected to be at school Monday to help students
          cope, said Principal Michael Ferry, who has been in contact with
          the families.
           Keniry's co-workers at Brooks Pharmacy in Forestville described 
          him as amiable.  Pharmacist Ed Anulewicz, who worked for five years 
          at the drugstore with Keniry's mother, said Keniry always had 
          "a smile on his face."
           Keniry had worked at the store for about four months stocking 
          shelves and operating a checkout register, Anulwwicz said. 
           When he wasn't busy, Keniry would tinker with the store's computer 
          in the back office. And his interest in music was well-known around
          the store.
           "Whenever I had the radio on, he'd,walk by and say, 'I can play 
          that," Anulewicz said.

 SECTION 4:

 

  One who is born upon this dim Middle Earth
  Has only a few years to live.

  To know the love of family,
  The warm embrace of a lover,
  And the comradeship of good friends. 

  To some the years may be long and rich,
  To some the years may be all too short.

  Yet through it all each does his or her best,
  As did Paul do his for us.

  So that when finally each does stand before the Gods
  It is with pride in self and backed with the loving prayers
  Of those known in life.

  In time, the others of us are all fated to follow,
  There to be reunited with those who have gone before.

  To meet again in joy and laughter
  In the shining land of the Gods.

  Yet know full well that the ancient sagas say
  That those who are truly worthy shall be born again.

  Returning in time to family, to friends,
  And his own folk.

  And we here know full well
  That our friend is the worthiest of the worthy.

  We will meet again, both in the golden lands beyond,
  And, in time, here once again.

  May his spirit help and guide those who remain,
  May his soul find peace and joy
  And the best of company.
  In the emerald gardens and golden halls
  Of high Valhalla.

  As the tree is green forever,
  May Paul's soul live to eternity.
