Dear Mrs. Driscoll,
I was so sorry to hear about Mr.Driscoll. I know you will find comfort in your family. I always look
back with fond memories of time spent at your home in Plymouth. I'm sure Mr. Driscoll (Billy) and Barry are
already up to some mischief. Take
care you will all be in my thoughts
and prayers.
Love Loyce

Mr. Driscoll,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served during the Korean War and secondly for the citizens of Boston when you served with the BPD. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

We are so sorry that Mr. Driscoll has left us behind for a better place. He certainly made this world more enjoyable while he was here. What a privilege to get to know Mr. D. and the Driscoll family while going to school with Brian. He'll be sorely missed by many but, fortunately, will bring a smile to those same faces when they think back on the time they spent with him.

Mary and Family,

Our deepest sympathy on the passing of Billy. I will never forget what a great "cousin" he has been to our family growing up and what a great friend he was to my Dad. I can picture Billy and Barry together now in Heaven poking fun at Auntie!!
