One defining moment in Deacon Dusty’s journey was the moment the news came from the doctor that asbestos had given him terminal cancer However, it was choices that he made leading up to that difficult moment which gave him the perspective needed to not ask himself, ‘why me?’ Rather, he and his wife left the doctor’s office and went immediately to their home parish, St. Michael’s, to pray for an hour about the challenging news.
