Claire,
Sorry to hear of this. I remember your Dad well and his involvement with many things at OLGC, from Sunday mass to parish festivals etc. He gave a lot of his time and obviously made a great contribution to the entire parish family. My parents liked him very much.
All the best to you and yours from the Cahills.

I am sad to hear about the death of your father. He was my father's best friend but more than that he was a man of faith and great character. Believe me when I say he had an impact on my life and I will never forget him and the example he set for all who were lucky enough to have met him. Finally, he taught me about the game of golf and when I play I will think of his encouragement!

My thoughts and prayers are with Claire and you family. I worked with Mario for years and he and Ann were very dear friends. Always enjoyed getting together for Trivia a dinners. I also remember attending their 50th anniversary service and dinner afterwards.

Dear Claire - One of my favorite memories of OLGC Parish Counsel and of the job when I worked with St. Monica' Parish was attending the finance committee meetings with your dad. A true Christian and a loving, selfless man. Well done, faithful servant. You will be missed. Eileen Loveman Williams

Dear DeMasi Family-
Mario was an extraordinary man. He was bright, funny, considerate, courageous and so much more. He was made of the stuff young men looked up to and old men respected. We will miss him greatly!
