Condolences for
Robert F. Corrigan

To the family of Robert Corringan;
It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And when it happens the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with or hold your loved one can be most difficult to bear. The Bible however holds out a wonderful hope. The scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunited with Robert in the near future right here on earth under peaceful conditions. At that time humans will have the prospect of enjoying perfect health, and they will never have to die again. Jesus said in John 5:21,28,29 "Just as the father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to. Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear Jesus voice and come out." Jesus promised that millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful, paradisaic conditions (John 3:16, 17:3 and Psalm 37:29). Until that day arrives remember God who is the "hearer of prayer" can equip you with the "power beyond what is normal" to go from one day to the next (2 Corinthians 4:7, Psalm 65:2). Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

You will be sorely missed. You were a great Teacher and mentor.

I also was a student of Mr. Corrigan's from 1961to 1965 and will always be grateful to him for instilling in me a love of history and learning. I became a high school social studies teacher because of his influence. Thanks you, Mr. Corrigan for your years of service and patience with the silly girls who "worshiped the ground you walked on".

Very saddened to learn of the death of my favorite history teacher (I graduated from U.D. in 1965). He was one of the kindest, funniest and smartest teachers I had and made quite an impact on many of us. You will be missed Mr. Corrigan!

Mr. Corrigan was my history teacher at Upper Dublin High School. He was wonderful, and all the girls had crushes on him. So sorry for your loss. When I think of my happy times at Upper Dublin, he is the one teacher who sticks in my mind who made a difference! R.I.P. Mr. Corrigan.
