My sincere condolences to all of Monsignor Scheyd´s family. I´ve known Monsignor Scheyd since St. Ann´s grammar school. He was a wonderful friend and spoke at my husband, Gary´s, funeral Mass to my family and friends. He will always be remembered as a friendly, compassionate and God loving man. Billy, may you rest forever in our Lord´s arms.

Monsignor Scheyd married us in St. Augustine´s Cathedral eons ago, however, eons before that, he snuck in with a group of kids from the neighborhood to see the Beach Boys in the stadium behind Central High in Bridgeport´s North End. No one dared argue with "the priest" or his group. It was a fantastic time and remains to this day one of my favorite memories. Rest easy after all your hard work.
