My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your father. He was a wonderful man. When I spent summers in Wellfleet, I knew the weekends had arrived when your father pulled out his golf clubs and would practice his hitting along the bay. May God comfort you as you journey through this difficult time. With warm regards.

Hi Mike and Pat,
I've only heard wonderful stories about your father from people you work with. I wish I had the opportunity to meet him. I know he must have been a wonderful father, because you guys were so involved in hockey, and any father that went to the trouble to be a hockey father, as he was, and to support you in all your endeavors was alright in any mans book. He must have been a very rare breed.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
