To a great uncle and a good friend. We will always remember your love of life, your great sense of humor and your lack of opinions.

We always looked forward to your trips to New Orleans because your visits meant we had to start excercising.The excercise was necessary to keep up with you during our walks around the quarter. The walks were more like sprints because of those long legs.It was great fun.

Next time I visit the French Quarter, I will make it a point to go to Pat O'Briens and raise a glass to your memory.

Hugs and kisses from the New Orleans branch of the Mcloughlin Clan.



Love



Tommy

To my father whom, was one of my best friends. Thank you for all the wonderful times we had together. You were always there for your family and had our best interests at heart.



Through your beliefs, you taught us to appreciate life and too be objective in our thinking. To be kind to others and to be the best we could be. Through you we developed an appreciation of the visual, culinary and performing arts. I will always think fondly of you when there is a good loaf of french bread, some roquefort cheese and a fine glass of wine around.



Miss you.
