On behalf of President/Chief Administrator David Eustis and the entire Northwest Catholic High School community, I offer my very deepest sympathy on the passing of Peter Antink Jr.
Because his daughters, June Antink Kaminski '73 and Sandra Antink Desrochers '76, are treasured members of the NWC community, we feel that Peter was, too, and we mourn his loss along with all who love him.
Please know that we will remember Peter and the Antink family in a special way during our daily prayers this week and will pray for Peter at our next school-wide Mass. We are so very sorry for your loss.
