I have just become aware of your passing. I am so sorry for the news.
I want you to know that I am forever grateful for all the time and effort you spent with me to help break the chains.You are a wonderful, caring, and patient man.
When I was broke, homeless and hungry, you held out your hand and gave me a chance, a step up. You offered me a hot meal and a haircut, took me to a meeting, and spent countless hours helping me and dozens of others to change.Your time and effort worked in me . I will celebrate 14 years clean and sober on 6/11/2016
You gave everything you had, your money, your time, your help and most importantly, your patience. I know, it was not easy, we had some arguments along the way, but you never turned your back to me. As long as I kept trying, kept working the steps, kept going to meetings, and working with others, you were there. I am at a loss to truly express how much I am grateful. You were truly an expression of Gods work here on earth.
Thank you for taking me to St. Johns Catholic Church, introducing me to Father Murphy, and working so very hard to help me turn my life around.
May God bless you.Forever holding you and your family in his arms.
My sincere condolences to your family and friends. God bless.
Rest in peace dad.
