Please accept my condolences on the passing of Fr. Robert. I attended the Carmelite seminaries at Niagara Falls, Ontario and Hamilton, Mass. a half century ago. As chance would have it, I visited Carmel Niagara just last week and visited the graves of some of my teachers. Fr. Malachy Smith and Fr. Brian McCullough both rest in the tiny cemetery adjacent to the monastery and on the grounds of Our Lady of Peace chapel. I mourn Fr. Robert's passing as a devoted son of Carmel.
