One of Our Own Has Departed For Yon' Greener Pastures ...

Dear Friend of St. Patrick,

Sadly, we must announce the passing of Past President of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick,
Jim O'Brien.

Until illness slowed his activities, Jim was very active in our group as a Member, Director,
and President. He will be fondly remembered.

Please take a moment to say a prayer on his behalf and, if possible, attend his service.

JAMES WALTER MICHAEL O'BRIEN, 83, of Honolulu, died Feb. 17th 2009.
He was born in Westborough, Mass. and is survived by his daughter,
Jamie Ann Tschetter; his brother, Steve; his companion, Janet Oka.

A scattering of ashes is scheduled for 11 a.m. tomorrow (Thurs. Feb. 26th)
at the Elks Club, Waikiki. Arrangements are by Woolsey Mortuary Services.

Dear Fellow Members of the Friends of St Patrick,

It is with sincere sorrow and mournful sadness that we announce
the passing of our good friend, President, Scholarship Chairman
and Irishman of the Year, George Cruden.

George regrettably lost his longstanding battle with cancer.
He was happy to know that we have named a scholarship in his honor.
