To my loving friends and family,

Thanks for remembering the memeroy of my grandfather. As you all know, he was quiet a character. I miss him so much but with all of your kind words to the family it makes the days a little better. Wish you all could of heard the wonderful things my father had to say in his refections at the mass.

Thanks again,

Beth

Dear Tim:

Ray and I and our family send our deepest sympathy to you and Mike on the loss of your dad.

What a great guy he was. I remember watching Ray telling him one of his silly jokes and your dad laughed so hard that his whole body shook. That is how I will always think of him, with that wonderful laugh.

Our prayers are with your mom, you and Bitsy, Mike and Mickey, and, of course, his beloved grandchildren, Beth, Julie and Brian.

My love to you all,

Auntie Moe

Thanks to all of you who will visit this site in memory of my Grandpa. What a little leprechan he was. I remember when our family celebrated my Grandma and Grandpa's 45th Anniversary and he sang - at the top of his lungs - "When Irish Eyes are Smiling"... and were his ever! I'll always remember that. For all of you visiting, please keep my Grandma in your thoughts.
