Edward F. Gilligan Sr.

Edward would be pleased to know that I finally got to Ireland. In August, my wife and I went to County Cork, because my great-grandparents came from Clonakilty.

I had the good fortune to know Ed when we were both in basic training in Delta company with the U. S. Army at Fort Leonard Wood.

I knew Ed all his life from our High School days. I never knew him to be other than a standup guy, always friendly to a fault and willing to do anything for those he knew. He had many trials and tribulations in his life from many directions, but He was always positive in his outlook and never wavered from his Trust in God and his Faith. We will miss Ed, but know he is now enjoying his Just Reward. God Bless You, Ed. John C. Regner Sr
