May John Patrick McDermott RIP, "...He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has even put eternity in their heart... I have concluded that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good during their life; also that everyone should eat and drink and find enjoyment for all his hard work. It is the gift of God." Ecclesiastes 3:10-13 "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, ... to a resurrection of life." John 5:28,29

I was a classmate of John's at Holy Cross. He was one of those special people whom I had the true privilege of knowing and sharing all 4 years on the hill. I will always remember his unique wit and warm smile. To John and his family, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

To MJ and John's Family, Please be assured of my thoughts and prayers for someone I always considered to be one of the "good guys" of the Class of 1976 at Holy Cross -- a guy who was unique, always himself, and both smart and spiritually aware. May he rest in peace.
