My sincere sympathy to Father Patrick and other members of the Granfield family and friends. While I did not know Father David well, I was always impressed with his gentle wisdom and quiet ways. May he rest in peace.

Dear Fr. David,
Mentor, Friend, Spiritual Companion of the highest degree, I will miss everything about you--your joy, your unlimited kindnesses, your profound wisdom and understanding of human nature, your humor, your talents and many gifts, your Masses, your gentle ways and sage advice. I am a better person for having known you. My deepest appreciation.

For You Fr. David,

I have known Father David for many years and when both of us were much younger we enjoyed conversation, we laughed together and we shared a few somber moments & tears as well. My wife and I still have the dictionary that FRs. Pat & David gave us for our wedding gift in 1971. Eighty eight years of life and service to our Lord and Savior is what I will remember Father David for, a kind and loving gentlemen who always saw the finer and brighter side of life. Always an optimist and a believer in serving his Lord and Savior. Bill Wright
