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,
Robert Weiler

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.

One morning during English class, Prof. Lally told us what it felt like to be a father, having experienced the birth of his first son the previous day. I've forgotten many things, but that day remains in my memory as if it happened last week.
Years later, I had the privilege of meeting and teaching that son (Joe) at St. Thomas Academy, along with his younger brother (John) later.
Prof. Lally also brought me a briefcase full of previous AP English materials from his days as an AP exam reader, which were very helpful as I developed my AP English course.
I will always remember and be grateful for the depth and breadth of my contact with Prof. Lally.
May he rest in peace.

So sorry to learn of Pat's death.
