I am so very sorry for your loss. Mr Conlon was always such a kind man to me and my fellow classmates at MHR. He never missed the chance to encourage us at our games and share with us the countless pictures he had taken. Kevin, my sincere condolences on the loss of your Papa. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
