To Con, my favorite teaching buddy. We sure had a lot of fun, and we enjoyed the 110 degrees in our rooms with no air conditioning. You were a great person, Con, and I will never forget you.

I had the privilege of teaching with Con for many years at Farjardo School in Rowland Heights, California. You could not meet a nicer person. He always made me smile, and eased the tension of the job. He would dress up for St. Patrick's Day every year and go from class to class wishing everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day. He loved his Dodgers. Thank you Con, for making my life a happier one. I will never forget you. You were blessed with a wonderful wife, Geri, and the love between you two was a beautiful thing to behold. Bless you both.
