Fr. B. blessed our lives with his love, his kindness, his wit and his wisdom. Those of us who became his students, and then his friends, through the Regis community cherished his presence in our families. He will always be present in our hearts.

I was so sad to hear of Uncle Dick's passing. He had a special place in mom's heart. She so dearly loved her brother. He married Pat and I many years ago which meant a great deal to us. He will be missed.

We express our sympathy on the loss of your dear brother....his Jesuit vocation was a blessing and inspiration to us all.

His long service to the Church deserves the gratitude of everybody.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
