Diane, please accept my sincere sympathy in the passing of this great man. Your description in your father's obituary is perfect. His pride in our country was superlative and his service a tribute to his generous military service. His love for his Catholic faith was exemplary ... devoted and faithful he was!
When I first met your Dad, he told me of his love for his teacher, Sister Rose Patricia O'Neill, and how her influence helped him as a young boy and as an adult. Sister was killed in an auto accident and John often donated to the Sisters of Saint Joseph in her memory.
And Diane, oh how he loved you! Always remember that. Now he is resting in the presence of God with his beloved Mae.
God bless you, Diane.
Sister Mary Anne
