Worthy Brothers,

It is sad to inform you of the passing of Brother Ron Carloni. The wake will be from 9:00 to 11:15 on Monday at the Amigone Funeral Home, located at Sheridan Drive and Hopkins Road. The Funeral Mass will be on Monday at noon at OLP.

The family has asked if we could do a Condolence Ceremony on Monday January 10th at 11 am. This would be at the Amigone Funeral Home, located on Sheridan Drive at Hopkins Rd. If planning to help with the ceremony, Mark Morgante was going to have a carpool. We will meet at 10:20 am at the OLP parking lot. Dress would be your blue KofC shirt and dark pants.

Please contact Mark Morgante at 491-8469 if you plan to participate in the ceremony.

Vivat Jesus,
Chris, GK
