He leaves his mother, one brother, three nieces and five nephews, besides many other relatives and friends, who will always remember him as a kind, loving son and brother and a true friend to everyone. The following tribute was written by a family friend: Dressed in the garb of a hunter, His dog close at the heel; the camp-fire in the forest, to him, made a strong appeal. Thru the woods he tramped miles, Or would-patiently stand and wait; But the buck that came his way, Was sure to meet his fate. Then, to dispatch his quarry, To the camp, now miles away; Was the next task in line, Lest others steal his prey. Soon the game was loaded, The kit was packed for home; The auto wheel moved grouchily, And the camping days were gone. Long miles away, a mother, Was waiting at the door; To welcome, with his game, her son, Whose camping days were o'er. Card of Thanks We wish to thank everyone for their kindness shown to us in our recent loss. Fr. O'Brien, Dr. J.F.
