The Kansas City St. Patrick's Day Parade, well into its fourth decade, is a beneficiary of the tireless efforts of countless individuals who have devoted their time and efforts to this wonderful example of civic pride and history. Like any organization with such long and storied credentials, the Parade and its contemporary supporters owe a great deal to those who first established its beloved traditions. Without them, there would be no Parade as we know it today.
Here, we remember and celebrate those who have passed on, whose contributions to the Parade are valued and cherished. In the true spirit of an Irish Wake, we celebrate their legacy. Thanks to them, the trail we walk today is much easier to follow.
Ms. Margie Browne
Lt. Col. Thomas Mahurin
Mr. Peter J. McCluskey, Sr.
Mr. Patrick "PJ" Cullinan
May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when the shadows fall—
You do not walk alone.
