Awe darn. Rest in peace Father. Great person. Great guy. I will post the particulars from the Diocese as soon as I know them for anyone on the Corner who wishes to attend or knows someone who would like to attend. Well at least he is up in the kingdom with  Father Anthony LaFache who was also in residence in this parish and died recently.

I think he may have performed my middle son's wedding at St Joe's. Very personable, friendly, and funny. I don't remember names very well, but I remember him joking and socializing at the reception at Mayfair. My son and his wife thought the world of him. I think he may have also been one of the two priests that performed the funeral mass for my grand daughter that only lived 7 hrs after birth. That was at Holy Trinity. I don't remember much about the funeral. I flew into Syracuse at 11 pm the night before, attended the funeral and flew back here to Tennessee that same night because Kathy was recovering from one of her back surgeries. Between grief and fatigue it was a blur. A heart breaking blur I would rather forget.
