Fr. Bob presenting Dad and Mom with a Gift


The parishioners at St. Joseph's church gave Dad and Mom a gift "to travel".... and a nice placque.


Thanks to Joyce who took care of everything for the reception where we had a lovely chicken dinner with all the trimmings....

So many people attended - Aunt Virginia, Joanne and Bob, Linda and Dan, Carol, Mark, Jackie, Sue and Jacob as well as "Many Miskells".....

Theresa presented a wonderful multimedia show with many highlights of Dad's life as well as highlights of his many years as a Deacon. The background music for the show was Bette Midler's "The Wind Beneath My Wings" as Dad said that song reminds him of Mom as she is his "wind beneath my wings".
