    Blessings to you in heaven dear Jim and thanks for all the fatherly advice, fun and spiritual music in choir, your wonderful stories of your service time and your extended family – and your devotion to family and friends. I am sure somewhere back in time our families were related Horigan had many spellings. Until we meet again may God hold you in the hallow of his hand.
