Had a research project from Northeastern University where I was a student. I sent a letter to the CC Commision asking for an appointment to Inerview Mr. Healy he graciously agreed and told me I could have 30 minutes I ended up staying 2 hours as he provided insights gave us research materials and answered every question we had. I still have his letter agreeing to meet with me.
What a wonderful giving individual the world should have more people like Mr. Healy

My condolences to the Healy Family!
In 1977, I was a first year print salesman & NDAA was one of my first accounts and Patrick was the Executive Director. Needless to say I was impressed with him and respected him. He was always fair with me and I will always appreciate that. RIP Patrck Healy!

Many years ago I worked at the Chicago Crime Commission. I will always remember Mr Healy from my time there. I was just a file clerk, but Mr Healy was so kind, always acknowledged me,never too busy to answer a question or just a hello, how are you? always made me feel like I was a part of it all, not just a lowly ckerk. God bless his family and may he rest in peace after a life of fighting for justice for everyone. A truly great man, I will never forget him.
