From time to time in our journey of life we arrive at facing a passing of someone in life. At some time it will come to us all... As in this passing of Mr. Thomas Kirwan, someone I/we do not know personally, this soul called to heaven but do know/family his offspring and know they are hurting personally/spiritually/ and with their heart yearn for understanding and comfort... Not knowing this man personally evidence he must have been a giant of a man as described by Robert, his son. I do personally sense a loss because of that. Having not known him or walked in his shadow even briefly but have settle for the next best experience having known and being a friend of his son Robert Kirwan... May my and that of my wife's heartfelt condolences reach the mark in comforting you to some minor extent.. Larry and Shelley Killens
