After damn near 92 years of blessing this Earth, last night, on St. Paddy's Day, God called back his favorite Irishman Dan Finnegan to go rejoin my Grandma up in Heaven. He was as good a man as I've ever known and I'll miss him dearly, but am at peace knowing that he's been reunited with his sweetheart and that they are both watching down on us. I look forward to toasting to him every St. Paddy's day to come with a "Sláinte" and a gin on the rocks with a twist. I love you Grandpa.
"May your glass ever be full, may the roof over your head always be strong and may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead"

Mr. Finnegan welcomes contact with Lancer Alumni!!
Allana Hines Stepp, Class of ’64, had an approximately 15-20 minute phone chat with Mr.Finnegan today. He missed our reunion because he was in the hospital and/or recovering. He would have liked to have visited with all of us. He is 91 years old, in a wheelchair, but still likes to keep-in-touch and be socially active. He welcomes phone calls,fore you plan to arrive.
