Walter and Linda...I am so sorry to learn of your father's death.  It was my pleasure to meet him when we visited the nursing home on Fridays. He was quite a character and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to know him, even for a short time before he moved to the Veteran's Hospital. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend his service on Friday because I'll be at the nursing home doing our Friday communion service but please know that Walter will be remembered in our prayers.  With sincere sympathy...Ferol Borkowski, St. Joseph Catholic Communion & Visitation Team
