I am very sorry for the loss of Mr Horrigan. Having played softball and baseball with his son Dennis for most of the past 30 years, Mr Horrigan was one of our best fans. It was always great to see him on the sidelines watching us. He was missed this past summer and I am glad we got to say "goodbye" to him after one of our games.
