McDonough family and families; So very sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. A great man and true gentleman with an amazing family. As one of a long line of Woburn hockey families, I had the opportunity to spend so much time with all of you and I enjoyed every minute. My grandparents and parents were all great friends with the McDonoughs which made it possible to see you often, as well as being related. I hope all of your memories carry you through this very sad time and may Tom Rest In Peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during these sad times. Sincerely, Bob Connolly Jr.
