“One of my best memories of Mr. Gilroy (I always called him that) was pulling into his driveway on a Saturday to pick up Tom. He was in the driveway in his jeans and white Tshirt after cutting the lawn. I always liked his paratrooper tattoo peeking out of his sleeve. A wonderful man that took exceptional care of his family. Love you Bill....Mark”
