To the Lally family,
I remember Pat as a fellolw student in Frank O'Malley's class--Modern Catholic Writers--whose essay on Bernanos was cited by Professor O'Malley as exemplary and as the classmate who gave me the opportunity to meet Father Hesburgh by substituting for him as the Corby Hall snack bar waiter during an Easter vacation.
Pat was a great guy!
My condolences,

It was so great to see Mrs. Lally and the all the kids today. I played tennis for Pat from 1975 to 1978 and worked for him 2 summers at the St. Thomas tennis club. Those days were some of best of my life as Pat helped make them very special. I will never forget the Friday night fish fry's ( of course with a little beer) while we were on tennis road trips and the great lifetime friends made from the tennis experience. You had a great Dad who I was privlidged to know.

Dear Mary Anne,
Just reaching out to let you know I care. Reading these tender notes about Pat and his love for you and your family - and many friends - is inspiring. May you treasure these memories forever . . . just as my mother treasured the friendship and memories of your parents and passed them on to me.
Peace to you and Pat and families.
