Not sure what to say?

Three years later and I still do not know what too say. I like many of us miss him everyday still. He's up in Heaven visiting long gone relatives and friends between galaxies and planets in God's universe. Then asking Saint Michel the arch Angel to kick us around down here to keep us straight, so we can make it to Heaven. All N all, I do not have any stories I can tell except without my PILOT I have not been back to Chi Town.

As we go through life, we encounter individuals that we admire, that we respect, and that we see as truly special for the gifts that they give back to us. Tim Connelly was such a man. For the past 25 years, it has been my honor and privilege to know and love the Connelly family. Tim Connelly was not only hard working,diligent and conscientious, he was a wonderful husband, a devoted father and someone you could ALWAYS count on if you needed help in any endeavor. I watched his boys grow up to be the inspiring young men that they are today. His influence, his guidance and his love are now and will continue to be reflected by his sons in their demeanor, their perspective and their love of life and family. Mr. and Mrs. Connelly are true life partners-sharing the myriad of good times and standing together through the bad, but always maintaining a positive and confident spirit that embodies them both. Mr. Connelly's time was far too brief, but in his 55 years he gave so much of himself in all that he did that WE are the benefactors of his love and are all better off for having known him and to have the privilege of calling him friend. To Mrs. Connelly, I love you, God Bless you, and you are and always have been in my thoughts and prayers. To Jason, Michael, and David, God Bless you as well and if there is anything you need or that I can do, PLEASE do not hesitate to ask.

Dear Darcy: I still do not know what to say. Knowing Tim for the last 50 years and you for 30+ of them it's still going to be an on going challenge without my Piolet. He was always part of our family and he will be missed but, he is in God's hand's know. Take good care of yourself and your sons.
