I'm sorry for your loss, Maureen.
Damian was a great person who always had good things to say to me, always offering congratulatory
words when you and he would sit behind us after you'd finished your games. A kind soul.
He will be missed by all of us.
Regrettably, I'm flying down to drive Kayla back from North Carolina Wednesday at 2 and will miss the wake and funeral.
You and Maire and Larry are in our prayers.
