I was truly blessed to learn Spanish at Salesianum from two of the best - Señor Kramer and Padre Byrne. They both made us work very hard and we learned a great deal. I never forget him saying "Señor Greto - used es un payaso. To this day I cherish being called a clown by him. Thank you Father - may you rest in peace - you were the best.

Fr. Byrne was a kind, wonderful Salesian Gentleman. His influence and guidance to his students was unsurpassed. He was a strong leader and role model for many generations of young men.
Rest in Peace. I am sure he will hear the words upon his entrance to heaven, "A Job well done" !
Thank you Fr. Byrne.
