Passed away earlier this month on vacation with his neice in Egypt!  He was a dear friend of my family.  He has known me since I was 4 years old, sat at the head table at my wedding and even baptized Vanessa.

We attended his funeral mass yesterday in Los Banos and it was a nice service.  Packed as you can imagine.  It is also the first time the bishop has cried in front of all the priests and the congregation!  Today Msgr. will be buried at St. Peter's cemetary and tomorrow will be a memorial mass at Our Lady of Victory church the parish he was at before being moved to Los Banos.

He will be missed!
