To Pat Briody &the Briody family-Many thanks for the countless great times and music over the years . "May the earth rest easy over you when at last you lie under it.
May the earth rest so lightly over you that your spirit may be out from under it quickly, and up, and off , and on its way to God"

Pat used to call me #4; I called him #5. I'm grateful that my last time with him was the happy occasion of Lisa's wedding just ten days before he left us. He was Lisa's godfather. All of his kids, of whom he was so justifiably proud, were at the wedding. Pat sat next to me, #4, and looked great.
"The Lord gives, the Lord takes away" - at least for now.

From that first day in Sept. '53 in the barracks to the reunions with Pat and Bobby (seems O'Brien couldn't appreciate trombones in his barracks room--at the 45th Pat said, "if O'B knew I was going to be a star, he might have been nicer to me") to the 50th, Pat was a special light in our lives. Prayers for his family. Receive his soul and present him to God the most high.

The world, Villanova, and VU Class of '57 alumni will never be the same without the inimitable, lovable, irascible "Worm" to make our lives brighter by his very being, with even a look at his impish face and twinkling eyes. Such great memories of The Villanovans. While he may be gone, physically, his memory and his music will be with us forever.

Pat was rarely without a smile and he sure smiled two years ago at the 50th. My best recollection of him is playing for the Litmus Blues graduation party in Bryn Mawr, a fitting conclusion to our time at VU. Rest in peace Pat, and our prayers go out to his family.

Although I met you 55 years ago at VU freshman orientation, and we shared many literature and other classes, my memories of you are sharp and pleasant. I know I will not be the only one to miss you at our next 57 reunion. Give our regards to Bobby, Dr. McGrath and Father Sullivan.
