Dear Erin, Gretchen and Ed,
We are sad to learn of the loss of your wonderful husband and father. His wry sense of humor, his love for his family and his exemplary work and charitable efforts were much appreciated by all who knew him, especially by my husband, John Hosty, and all the dads whom he was associated with at Brother Rice High School. How well and fondly we remember him. God bless and comfort you all.
