My condolences to Mr. Pollock's family and loved ones. I was fortunate to know Mr. Pollock for many years at St. Mary on the Hill. In his later years when he would attend the Sunday evening Mass, I often brought Holy Communion to him in his pew. I also occasionally had breakfast with him at the country restaurant on North Leg where the Wife Saver is now. It was a pleasure and an honor to know him.
