It´s been a year and yet it seems like yesterday. All those memories of the many fun times we shared together. With Jack Bob and Rollie. Those memories carry us through those lonely times we wish you were here. Peace and Gods eternal light and mercy. Hold you now forever

Time waits for no man and your work must have been done, but we were not ready. It came too swift and left a gaping hole in the plans and our hearts. Rest In Peace my friend

Rest in peace my friend. We go all the way back to Staaf Road in Saugus where I remember your parents being so proud of you entering the priesthood. I also remember the weekly trips during the summer with your mother and my mother to the Seminary in New Hampshire for a picnic/outing with you and other priests. I also remember your ordination ceremony. Then on to Incarnation Parish in Melrose. You were always one of the best. Rest in Peace.
