To the Cummiskey Family:

I was deeply saddened to hear of your father's passing on my return from a vacation trip. I spent over thirty years enjoying your dad's company both on the golf course and at the card table. I count him among my very best friends and with many others at the Club will miss miss his kindness and gentlemanly demeanor.I admire him most for always being in control, never rasing his voice, always the peacemaker. If you know some of his occasionally raucous friends at the Club, including my self, you know whereof I speak. I am proud and happy to have been part of his group of friends. Admired by all, your dad will be sorely missed.
