    Mike & Harry: Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of you father. Although I never had the privilege of meeting your Dad, my mother spoke very highly of your Mom, and of course, I was fortunate to work with Mike at St. Peter’s bingo during my high school years. Your family are in our prayers. Chuck Conroy
