Dad,
I hope you knew how much I loved you. You were such a great dad and provider, I didn't realize until I was older how many sacrifices you made to provide all four of us with Catholic educations. We never went without. Even when 134 was slow, you were a cars salesman, and you would bring home a dealer car every other night. We thought you were the richest man in the world. I do believe that we were indeed rich. ..rich in LOVE. I have so many great memories of growing up in that house. Sounds corny, but we had it all. We knew how much you and mom loved us, and how much we loved you! I know Pat was there to meet you at the gates of Heaven. I will miss you and I will always love you.

So sad to hear of Jack's death. I went to St. Cajetan's with him in 7th and 8th grade. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a kind heart. He always made Mary Jo Kean Coffey and I laugh in class when we shouldn't have! Last saw him at our 50th reunion from St.Cajetan's. Rest in peace, Jack. Sorry I didn't know until today that you went to heaven or I would have paid my respects in person.

We are very sad about Jack's passing, our thoughts and prayers are with all his family and friends. I use to ride the bus with Jack to High School sometimes.
