Not sure what to say?

May prayers are with the extended O'Brien family.

The prayers of the St. Rita of Cascia High School Family go out to the family of Terry O'Brien.

He was a true Mendel Gentleman, a true Villanovan and a great friend of the Augustinians.

May he rest in peace!

Though I am class of '63 VU, I didn't know Terry at that time. But several years ago, Tim Reger set up a Chicago Chapter golf outing, and Terry was kind enough to sponsor it at his Lincolnshire Country Club. It was a small group, but we had a great day. I especially enjoyed meeting Terry, and have fondly remembered that event ever since. I am very saddened to hear of his passing, and wish his family all God's special grace and solace in this difficult time.
