Dear Orlowski Family,

Please accept my most sincere condolences. A fellow student at IHM, Dan O was one of the many colorful childhood buddies I will never forget. I fondly remember tooling around the 'hood on our bikes at the Cleveland schoolyard and over at Horner Park. Yeah, I remember lots of other stuff, too.

So long Dan O. See you at "The Great Gig in the Sky."

Later, TH
