Dear Joseph, Mrs. LeMay, Matthew, and Family: you are in my prayers! Your dad, husband, grandfather, and friend will be rewarded in heaven for living out his Catholic faith. I was inspired by his obituary and how he used the many gifts God had granted him. Seeing those attributes for Mr. LeMay, I can only imagine those who were closest to him (and they are listed in these many tributes) would think of him as "the ultimate Catholic man." Close to Our Lord through the sacraments and serving his Church; bringing others to Christ (as he did with his son who will be a priest one day); defending the vulnerable; and serving to the best of abilities with the gifts that were bestowed upon him. LeMay Family, you are in my prayers! Réquiem æternam dona ei, dómine. Et lux perpétua lúceat ei. Requiescat in Pace. Amen.
