Fr. Byrne's encouragement to get more involved in church and parish activities will be missed. His ability to remember names and friendly conversations are a loss for Incarnation. Personally, his care, friendship and comfort during funerals and wakes will be hard to replace.

Fr. Byrne was a wonderful and comforting force in our busy lives and will be missed. The absence of his smile and friendly demenor from the gathering area at Incarnation will take a long time to get over.

Fr. Dave came to St. Catherine's parish at a difficult time in her history. We remember all his hard work with the parish youth. He did the best he could with what he had to "work with", and one cannot ask more of a priest than that. May he enjoy the company of God and His Holy Mother for all Eternity.
