Tom, Terry, Mary and Bob,
I was saddened to learn of your father's passing. He was a wonderful man and not only the best boss I have ever had, but a good friend as well. I will miss him.

To all of the Gilhooly family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know this is a difficult and sad time for missing Pat. It is also a time to celebrate his full life of 80+ years that he was able to lead. He was blessed with a great family, and he had the happy reunion of having all of you together last summer. I envision Jeanne, Jim and Marianne laughing and throwing their arms around him in a happy and loving homecoming. Our tears can be happy as well as sad. God bless you all and may you feel supported by your good memories and faith in God and heaven above. With much love and affection for all of you, Connie Gilhooly
