To a dear Uncle who I and all my family will dearly miss. Happy memories of times spent in his and Mary Jo's home. Remembering music in back garden of their home, singing and playing accordion. My sympathies to all his family and extended family. God's blessings on you all and thinking of you and of Uncle Connie especially on this day. God bless you all from Noreen

If I remember correctly his favorite song he loved to sing was Eileen Alanna. An old Irish tune.

Connie has been my and my husband Joe for 50 years. He was a fun loving man . Always had a joke he would share with Joe and they had fun telling each other stories and jokes and singing Irish songs. He loved his family and working in the yard. He will be missed. Rest in Peace. You can share your Joke with Joe and sing your songs in Heaven. Mary
