My name is Rob. I was taught by an amazing man, Fr. Frank Vye, at BCHigh in the '80s. I do recall him telling of his family home in Medford.
We stayed in contact over a number of years, but eventually drifted apart.
It is unfortunate that he man I knew, who is likely your relative, passed from this world to God last october 13th. He was at the time a special projects curator for the library system at Boston College.
Please feel free to email me with any questions. I knew him to be a strong, good and moral man yet one with a quick fuse and a sometimes wicked sarcasm.
