No priest has ever had a greater influence on my life! Father was the parochial vicar and did the RCIA program at St Joan of Arc in 1993 when I converted to the Catholic faith. We have gotten together each year in October to celebrate my daughter, Karen's birthday who joined the church with me. It has probably been three years since we have done this as Father had been doing grueling tests and just not feeling up to coming to Hershey for our dinners. I have never know anyone with his fabulous sense of humor. I said to him, "Are you sure we are allowed to have this much fun." He assured me it was fine. I will never to able to understand why he was taken from us at such a young age. If her were here, he would tell me that we don't need to understand all things. I was instrumental in having him do our Harrisburg Diocesan Council of Catholic Women's retreat at Mount St. Mary's in 2013. He was truly outstanding and chose The Serenity Prayer for his theme. I will pray it every day for a long time in his honor and try to allow it to help me get through this most sorrowful time!!! God Bless him and all of you his family. Thank you for sharing him with us! Barbara McCarthy, mother of Karen who I think many of you know. She is devastated with his loss!!!!
