To my friend Sue, Mrs O'Connell and the entire O'Connell family,
As a young teen, the memory I have most about Mr O'Connell was how serious he always seemed to be, but then some wise crack always seemed to spill out of him making people laugh...The more cherished memory I have (and I hope you all realize how apparent it was), was how much he was adored, especially by his daughters and how cherished his was by the entire family. I know you will miss him deeply but what a legacy he left for you and yours.He will be remembered forever...
Love Sandy McMahon and family

Dearest Shirley, Patti, Susan and Little Harry,
We were so very sad to hear of Harry's passing. He was a kind and gentle soul with an infectous laugh. The good and gracious Lord outdid himself when he created Harry. I will be forever grateful for the love and affection he gave my Emily, Auntie Emmie and Uncle Jack. Until we are all reunited, I will think of him with lots of love and laughter.
May God Continue to Bless You All,
All My Love,
Gail Cotterman
