I sent this link about the grandson who died at 15, unfortunately leading some to think it was my grandson! It wasn’t. . . .

. . . It was the grandson of Dennis Byrne, an old friend from Daily News days, not mine. I am so sorry to have given that impression.

  1. Jim –

    I honestly spent about 30 minutes trying to clarify that point myself but determined that the last names were too big of an issue.

    Either way, thank you for clarifying and prayers for the family that lost a son, brother and grandson so young.

    Peace,

    Tom ________________________________
