Joe is a St. Mary’s High School Alumnus, Class of 1958. On behalf of St. Mary’s faculty, staff, and students, both past and present, we extend our most heartfelt sympathy to Frank’s family and friends.
Also know that we share in your sorrow and grieve for your loss. Special mention and offerings of condolences to Joe’s classmates and to those students, who at one time or another, were either upper classmates or under classmates of his, and who may have known him personally or “of him” as someone they passed in the hallways, shared a table with at lunchtime or maybe even participated in some of the same extra-curricular activities as Joe did from the time he enrolled as a Freshman in September of 1954 until the time he graduated as a Senior in June of 1958.
Although Joe is gone from this life, his spirit has been and always will be here on the Campus of St. Mary’s. And just as it was in life ever since the day he enrolled and became a “Son of Mary”, daily prayers will continue to be said and daily masses will continue to be offered for him by the Brothers of Mary.
