Father Pat,
You were a true guide to our class of young men at Lemont (class of 1971). You were a great leader for us and will always be in our hearts.
I also thank you for your blessings when you presided at my marriage to my wife June in 1976. June and I will always remember you for going out of your way to be there for us on that special day.
Yours in St. Vincent,
Paul & June Crumrine
