It is one of those phone calls that stops you in your tracks.

Becky Pfeifer Van Zante , a friend of mine, called to tell me that George’s dad passed away……. the  family is asking that donations be made out to Stiggy’s Dogs…..So many emotions run through you at that moment, sadness, empathy and gratefulness. Proper words are hard to find. I know so well.

Thomas O’Gorman is a Marine Veteran, served in the Korean War. And he loved Dogs. Knowing the Military as I have gotten to, I understand the Brotherhood of these Marines. Once a Marine Always a Marine.

Thank you, family and friends.  We appreciate your charity donations as we honor Thomas O’Gorman.

Thomas O’Gorman November 7th 1932-May14th 2011
