My heart goes out to you all for the loss of your Dad. I always enjoyed catching-up with "Mr. O'Dea" when I was over in the Medical Building and the Fitness Center. We'd discuss current hospital happenings, update on each other on our families and share memories of PHS. By far his most favorite topic was his grand babies and showing me their photos on his iPad-adorable! In one of our last discussions I thanked him for helping me with math homework in the school library. He wasn't my math teacher. He was just there to read the newspaper, but took the time. He could always explain things in a way I understood. What a calling and a kindness. I can´t imagine the countless other people he has helped over the years. He made a difference in so many lives. He'll truly be missed, but I hope all the wonderful memories bring you comfort.
