I was a classmate at St Rita HS in chicago but more importantly we were teammates of the school golf team and wishing my condolences brings back memories of our days in the sun. There is a line in the song "the way we were" and it hits on my feelings right now "Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind smiles we gave to one another" I went back and looked at his picture in the yearbook and it brightened my day to see him again even that way. We were a very small close knit team and I hope he enjoyed his years out west. May he rest in peace and I will ask our patron saint St Rita to watch over him in the hereafter. sincerely JK
