When I got word that William Carrigan passed away at age 98 and a half on Monday, Nov. 20 I was reminded of the saying, "To live o'n in the hearts of those we leave behind, is to never die."
And so it will be for Bill, who quietly aided so many individuals and families financially, and who gave to schools with grace and love of children. A strong believer in education being the strength of our nation's future. He often spoke to young people in their classroom.
On one occasion he asked "What is the best computer?" In response he got a lot of brand names. Negatively, he shook his head until one student brightly responded, "Our brains!"
A true patriot, he welcomed everyone who used his property for July 4th picnics and viewing the fireworks. This was always the highlight of the year for him.
During World War II he was sent to Italy and while there he learned about a Cappuchin Priest who mysteriously suffered from the five wounds of Christ on the cross. A deeply religious man, he spent over 50 years in seeking to have the Catholic Church make Padre Pio a saint.
