My thoughts are with you today.
Thinking of you today Mary. Watching and sending love to you.
Deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Dr Jim D’Orsa. in gratitude for his extraordinary commitment along with Therese to the education and formation of countless educators. A man of great influence, charity and challenge. May he rest in eternal love with Therese and the Communion of Saints.
Rest in peace, Jim.
Sadly, I never met Jim but I believe we were related. I saw his funeral notice in the paper and linked in online. The service was beautiful and through the wonderful stories I feel I got to know Jim a little. My brother Anthony established a vineyard near Heathcote in the 1990’s. It is now a five star boutique winery called Sanguine Estate and their premium Shiraz is named D’ORSA after our (and Jim’s) great-grandfather Pietro D’Orsa. It would seem that wine making is in the blood!
Love and best wishes to you all. Mary (D’Orsa Hunter) Stapleton.
