Monsignor Joseph J. Granato

He was a friend as well as my Pastor always there to talk to At my mom's funeral he came out of the Church and met her while they were bringing her into the Church the funeral director Shooks said he did many funerals at St Lucy's but never saw him actually come out of the Church to meet the coffin and walk in the procession.

Fr. Granato You were a great help to my parents, William and Clare Smith. You also were a great pastor and teacher to their 10 children. You had no idea how much you were loved and admired by this Smith family. You will forever be in our hearts and thoughts for as long as we live. You are greatly missed and we we will never forget you.

Father, you played a pivotal role in my life 43 years ago. I never had the chance to come to you in person to thank you. I will never forget you. Rest in peace in Heaven.
