No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. I've known your father for a long time and he loved his children and grandchildren more than anything. Please accept my sympathies for both your families.

Sean & Erin:
Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your father, my brother. I'm pleased you selected a picture of him for the obituary where he was wearing the Hawaiian shirt I gave him July 4, 2006. He was so happy to receive that shirt. He sent me a copy of that picture. I'll miss calling him on weekends to beat him to the punch and ask him "What's the story." He always closed his conversation with "..and that's the story." I'll miss him sending me all the Notre Dame material and schedules. He kept me well informed. He was such a fan. We will all miss him dearly but take comfort that he is no longer suffering - as well we know he suffered. God Bless you both and give you the love and comfort you need to get through all of this grief.
