My deepest condolences on Rack's passing. He and I had so much fun together as kids. I had tried to reconnect with him over the years. I had heard about him from different people but couldn't catch up with him. Prayers for you in your grief.

A very unique man worry free, soft spoken and Never heard him say an unkind word about another person. WE were friends from old Lordship and roommates at 814 E.Broadway back around 72 or 73 with Steve Bednar and other assorted wild men he was the best roommate a guy could have ,always had rent in hand and a clean room and the first guy ever to wear matching boxers and tee shirt (very new at the time) a very kind man and your friend forever who always kept his family first ,Slan Abhile mo chara (safe way home my friend in Irish) all our best to his loving family, Michael Keating and family

when our lives have run their course,
and our mortal days are done,
what we shared brings us back,
as what we gave continues on

Message from John Roberge

Very sorry to the entire Gleason family. Rack was one of Lordship's finest sons. He never had a bad word about anyone. He would listen to all your troubles and he truly cared about all of his lifelong friends. He will be remembered to me as someone to emulate in life, particularly at this time of year. God bless him and all the people he cared for.

Rack was terrific to work with. As a new ABO I had many questions about things that Rack unfailingly answered completely and with humor! I was sorry to see him move on from Westport, but will always remember his upbeat attitude. To his friends and family I send my deep condolences on this sudden loss.

Message from Dave

Oh all the money that e'er I spent
I spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all








Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had
Are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had
Would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
