I thought he’d live forever
He seemed so big and strong
But the minutes fly and the years roll by
For a father and his son
And suddenly when it happened
There was so much left unsaid
No second chance to tell him thanks
For everything he’s done
I never will forget him for he made me what I am
Though he may be gone memory lingers on
And I miss him… The Old Man
– JOHN McDERMOTT



WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Step Up & Give Back
Climbing a crazy number of stairs – for (personal) health reasons and for charity – had a great run.
Step Up & Give Back’s website and non-profit status have been closed and ported here to ChiTexIrishBagpipers, due to the close/similar missions both have (2 great tastes in 1).
TL;DR both provide entertainment and also solace to people while using proceeds from our bagpiping (and stepping) activities to support fellow first responders.
