    So sorry to hear about your dad. My father would always talk about Jim and Tom Mcgough going running and what great men they are.

    I’ll never forget your dad asking me to the Father-Daughter Dance at Sacred Heart High School with Katie! That one action showed the character of your dad and the fact that Katie (and Tom) was just as excited that I was going spoke volumes of how it was to grow up in a home where caring about all was as natural as caring about your own. He made a difference and I am thankful! God Bless all the Dolans!
