Bishop Anthony Pilla

We just heard the news about the passing of Bishop Anthony Pilla.  

Instead of doing disservice to the man by rushing a few lines for this blog here are two videos 

First is the video of Sam Miller inducting Bishop Pilla into the Cleveland International Hall of Fame in 2015.

This is Bishop Pilla’s acceptance speech. https://youtu.be/KMVo49Zi-94

I am sure that Sam and the Bishop are joyfully reconnecting in Heaven.  RIP Bishop Pilla.
