Our deepest condolences to our friends and fellow co-workers Coleen and John as well as the rest of the O'Brien family and friend for the passing of the family Patriarch
Mr. Eugene O'Brien.

Over the last few years of working with John he shared many fond stories of times spent with his dad. We felt his loss also. The family was blessed to have shared many years together. To have also transcended their relation from parent and offspring to best friends. Godspeed Mr O'Brien.
