Many fond memories of times with my Cousin Andy. His Ordination was probably one of the last great gatherings of the Canavan family in The Falls. [Andy's grandmother Catherine Canavan Dunn and my great grandfather,John S Canavan were siblings]...and when he came to NYC in the late '70's to audition for a couple of Broadway productions. My thoughts and prayers for Andy's family....and Jake especially...two of my most favored cousins. God Bless You
