We are so sorry to hear of the death of your father. When we were visiting Clyde and Mary in Florida or visiting in Ocean City, MD, we usually got together with Rita and John for lunch. It was most enjoyable for us because they were such fun people to be with. John had a great memory of things past and present. Again, we are sorry for your loss. We send a hug and kiss for Rita. Love Sue and Bill LaFever ( Jane and Warren Schafer's daughter and son in law)

Carol,
From the many wonderful stories that you told of your parents I know that no one could love them more than you and your family. If the measure of a man is reflected in his offspring, John Driscoll was a truly great man. May you, your Mom, and the Driscoll family find comfort in the many wonderful memories of your Father. God bless John Driscoll and his family.
