My heart goes out to all his family on this tragic loss. He meant a lot to our family. I know the part that hurts the most is not being able to see and hear and talk to him again.But like other loved ones who've passed on,they never ever leave us.Each thought of them,each mention of thier name keeps them alive within all of us.And hopefully someday we will get to see and hear and talk to them again. My very deepest sympathy to you all. Mike O'Neill
