We can think of no more deserving alum than our very own Ed Gilligan ’77 to be honored with the Spirit of Xaverian Award. The impressive level of Ed’s professional accomplishments and philanthropic contributions alone are enough to earn this accolade, but, for us, his classmates, it was Ed’s amazing sense of humor and great loyalty that we will remember most. Ed, along with the entire Gilligan family, remain in our prayers. May he enjoy the eternal light and salvation of Heaven! —the Class of 1977
