…written by her brother:
My Dad was a genius. He was very accomplished and highly educated with mutiple degrees. These included a BA from Brandeis in Psychology with a double major in Anthropology, a MA in Psychology from Columbia University, a PHD in Psychology from Stonybrook, and a MA in theology from St. Charles Borromeo. But he didn’t care about any of that. He only cared about his family and his faith. He always let me know that in his life, first came God, then my mother and my siblings, and that loving God meant loving your family. He adored his grandchildren, and looked up to his brother. That’s the type of person I want to be.
Pansy’s father’s wake is tonight. The Mass of Christian Burial is Friday morning.
My prayers to Pansy’s family. That’s the type of person I want to be, too, and your family was blessed to have such a patriarch who led by a glorious example.
