Bob Condon. Shamelessly proud dad and Poppa. Dedicated husband. Master practitioner of Irish wit. Embarrassing charmer of total strangers. Zen golf whisperer. London adventurer at 19. Competitive bodybuilder. Judo master. Fearless immigrant who started a whole new life for himself, his wife, and three small children. Little league coach, soccer coach, scout counselor, and Santa at Christmas to multiple generations. Aspiring artist, amateur actor, Irish speaker, opera lover and spontaneous singer of only the most beautiful of Puccini’s arias. Carpenter to prisoners and royalty alike.
“Ni bheidh a leithead aris ann,” an oft used Irish saying: “We shall not see his like again”.
We love you always Dad.
Now take your rest, the 18th green is just ahead.
