Before I get busy again (I do the Ministry of Consolation at Holy Family Church and they have kept me busy with funerals) I did a funeral today for a man who was a guidance counselor at Holy Trinity High School for over 30 yrs.
So beloved, they closed the school for the day so the kids could come to the funeral. An Honor Guard of Students lined both sides of the walkway from the street into the church. After the mass I was helping a gentleman call for a cab, when I realized the man I was helping was our own Mr. Evers from Hicksville Jr. High. Then it suddenly struck me, the man who had passed away was 64 yrs. old, same as me. I asked his brother Neil if they had grown up in Hicksville and he said yes, he was Class of '67 and his brother had been Class of '62.
As soon as I got home I dug out the yearbook, and sure enough, I am sorry to say the deceased was Class of '62 Bruce Duncan. There had been an obit in Newsday Monday or Tuesday. I just feel bad I didn't make the connection so I could have let people know.
