    Mary Anne and family, please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of your dear dad. I have many fond memories of him (and your mom) when we were growing up at school and St Joeâ??s Church. My dad always appreciated your dadâ??s commitment to the Holy Name Society for many years. May happy memories sustain you during this sad time and always. My prayers to all, Maureen Bertha Campbell
