My sincere condolences to you Tracy and to all the family on the passing of Maurice. I enjoyed his poetry reading at our Clan Gathering in Boston a number of years ago. We corresponded often since then on his Irish family connections and on Irish heritage matters. I shall miss his banter.

My sincere condolences to Moe's family. I have such wonderful memories of working with him at the Pastoral Center on Buffalo Road, and his support and encouragement to me as I sought a new job (he sent me all of the job postings, even though I wasn't qualified for most of them! It kept my spirits up when I most needed it). He was a wonderful, kind man and will be sadly missed.
