You are one of a kind very goodwriter

Tis an old Irish saying at a time like this. "Sorry for your troubles." God Bless.

I was so saddened to learn of Dave Nyhan's passing by reading Adrian Walker's column online. I always looked forward to his writings in the Globe & that paper has been lesser since his departure. His style & manner reminded me of Tip O'Neil...on target, but never vicious.
It must bring a smile to the heart of his family members to see how loved & respected he is.

My family was very fortunate to be welcomed into the Lockwood clan, during a year spent in Boston in 2002. David Nyhan was briefly introduced to us at the Lockwood New Year party in 2002.
