Joe Houlihan Walks the Green Line: Serves as Grand Marshal of the Eastchester St. Patrick's Day Parade

March was a busy time for Joe Houlihan, managing partner at Houlihan & O’Malley, Bronxville’s boutique residential real estate agency. When he wasn’t running the firm and helping its clients buy and sell real estate, Joe was involved with numerous community activities. The highlight was being invited to be the Grand Marshal of the Eastchester St. Patrick’s Day Parade, an honor bestowed upon him by the Eastchester Irish American Social Club (EIASC).

Following are some photographs that bring to life the Parade and surrounding festivities:

1. On March 7, Joe was awarded his parade sash at Lake Isle Country Club, where the Eastchester Parade Festival and Installation of the Grand Marshal took place.

2 Also receiving sashes were Joe’s Parade Aides: (Left to right) Gerry Houlihan (his brother), Patricia Houlihan (his cousin-in-law), and Jim Coleman (his cousin-in-law).

Joe also received proclamations from Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino, the Westchester County Board of Legislators (Michael B. Kaplowitz, Chairman, Sheila Marcotte, Legislator), Eastchester Town Supervisor, Anthony S. Colavita, Tuckahoe Mayor Steven A. Ecklond, and a Congressional Record honoring him from U.S. Congressman Eliot L. Engel.

5. On March 15, Joe led Eastchester St. Patrick’s Day Parade down the green line. The parade kicked off at the Immaculate Conception Church in Tuckahoe, and traveled north on Route 22 to Lake Isle Country Club in Eastchester.
