Please accept my sympathy and prayers. It has been years since I have been in touch with any of the Howley's, but know both Joe and Mary Catherine though out my early teen age years. You will be in my prayers.

With my deepest sympathy to Joseph Howley's children and grandchildren. Joe and I were classmates together at Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh (Class of 1943). He had that Irish wit and personality. It is said when an Irishman dies, God needs another angel in heaven. He will be missed. God bless him and your family.
Sincerely,
Gretchen Brule
