Danny, Pauline, Jimmy and Shawn,

I was sad to learn of your dad's passing away. What a great and wonderful guy. An excellent photographer and a great friend to my dad. He will be remembered as a kind, warm, and sincere gentleman. I had the greatest admiration for him. He talked always about Rita and each and everyone of you with that proud Irish twinkle in his eyes. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and you will be in our Prayers.
