To Patricia, Patico and Joe:
Our condolences on your loss. Your father was a fine person and very family-orented. We can still see him and the family at Joe's football games and other activities Rome Catholic High presented to us.
God Bless Joe and God Bless all of you.
Sincerely,
Jim and Terry Dooher
