Dad, I miss you in so, so many ways!! I still remember our last conversation. You pulled me down toward you and gave the strongest hug you could!! You were truly "something" a quick witted, BBing father who I always knew loved me and would be there for me!! Nine years flew by but the memories I have of you are beyond vivid. I hear your voice, without realizing it use "your" sayings and when I'm trying to figure something out I think to myself what would Daddy do!?!? Missing you today and everyday Dad....til we meet again. Love Patti xoxo
August 15, 2016
Holy cow. I can't believe you've been gone for 8 years. Time goes by fast but my memories of you are so vivid. I hear your voice, I remember your "sayings" and still at times I think.....I've got to call Daddy to tell him blah, blah, blah. You were something special and truly a wonderful, selfless father. I miss you so much Dad. Until we meet again, I love you. xoxo Patti

Dad, Six years went by so fast. I can still hear your voice and oh how I miss it. I miss you in ways I never thought possible. Thinking of you always...Patti xoxo
May 6, 2014
Happy Birthday Dad! I miss you more than I thought possible. The memories are what helps. I quote you often using some of your quirky sayings. The kids laugh saying that sounds just like Poppy! I know you are resting in peace as you did your job well both as a father and husband. Love Patti xoxoxo

A great man, a wonderful father and an unbelievable caretaker. The older I get the more I realize the selfless way you led your life. You are a true role model. I love that without realizing it you taught me so much just by your actions. Mommy was so fortunate to have had you caring for her and I am so thankful to have witnessed it. XO Patti
August 15, 2013
Dad, I miss you. Thats all, just miss you. Five years went by so fast. Thank God for memories. They are so fresh in my mind and that makes it easier. Love Patti xoxo

Happy 84th Birthday Dad. I miss you everyday. xoxo Patti
August 15, 2012
Pop,
Thank you for giving me our present day "Gramma Pat". What an unbelievable mother and now grandmother she is to our little Reese. She clearly learned from the best. I wish I was able to tell you that in person. I hope you and the original Gramma Pat are tearin it up up there.
Love, Ashley

Dad, Four years have just flown by. I thought it would get easier with each passing day but it really doesn't. So many times I instinctively go to call you. Other times I think to myself, "I've got to call Daddy later". I know in time this will get less and less. You were a "BB" as we all know but deep down you had a heart of gold. Always putting the needs of the six of us first. And forget about how you cared for Mommy during her long illness. During what should have been the prime of your life, your life stopped and you cared for that woman like you were "trained" to do so. As I age and reflect on those years I cannot imagine not only how you did it but how you did it so well and so selflessly. I am forever grateful to you for allowing me to witness such compassion. Thank you. xoxo Patti
June 17, 2012
Dad, Fathers Day or any day you are always on my mind. I miss you and believe it or not still go to call you. I quote you, tell your jokes and stories. Of course not as good as you did. Memories are a beautiful thing and I am so thankful that we created so many together. Happy Fathers Day!! You were an amazing Dad! xoxo
May 6, 2012
Dad, Wishing you a very Happy Birthday. Miss you like the dickens e v e r y s i n g l e d a y. xoxoxo
April 7, 2012
Dad, Its the day before Easter and I'm thinking of you. We'll have that "great" ham that you love, both on Easter and of course as leftovers for breakfast!!! Almost 4 years and the void is still so strong. There are so many days that I instinctively go to call you. You are missed so much! Love and miss you....til we meet again. Love Patti xoxo
August 15, 2011
Dad,
It just doesn't seem possible that you have been gone for 3 years. Just the other day something big was going on and for a split second I thought I have to call Daddy and run it by him. I miss not having you with all your wiseness to bounce things off of. You were "something". I miss you everyday
Love, Patti xoxo
July 29, 2011
Missed you ALL day today, Dad. xoxo

Happy Birthday in heaven Dad! I wish I were picking you up to "grab a bite to eat". I think of you constantly and miss you so much. It's a glorious sunny day and I'll be thinking of you as I always do, with love and admiration for the great Dad you were. Love, Patti xoxo

Dear Dad... it has been so lonely without you these two years....going from talking to you every day and to not be able to talk to you anymore is so very hard....we were there for each other for many years.....you were my date!!!!!....love you and miss you..... Deborah xxoo
August 15, 2010
Dad, Its been two long years without you here. So often without realizing it I think to call you just to chat or to tell you something and get your take-quickly realizing it can't be. I think of you everyday and miss your voice. I find myself quoting you to Ash, Whit and Brad-often bursting out into a saying or song you might recite. Recently, it was "yes we have no bananas, we have no bananas today". The kids kind of look at me funny but I am so thankful that I have all those wonderful memories. Love you, miss you terribly and I am proud to be your daughter. See you someday.
Love, Patti xoxo

To those who have a Father, cherish him with care 'cause you'll never know the heartache 'til you find he isn't there.
Dad, Happy Father's Day. I'll be thinking about you today as always. Missing you so much.

Dad, Thinking of you always but especially today. Hopefully you'll get a good cut of steak for dinner!! Thought of you so much last night getting everything ready for today. Especially cleaning the turkey and that part that went over the fence last!!!!! Love and miss you, Patti xo

MAHAN-Joseph
In loving memory of my Father, Joseph S. Mahan Sr., who passed away one year ago today, August 15, 2008.
Dad,
I miss you more and more each day.
I miss you in so many ways.
I miss the things you used to say and
when "old times" I do recall, it's then I miss you most of all...magic tricks-vanilla shakes with the "secret" ingredient-pudding that seemed to take all night to boil-REAL popcorn-looking for "wheats" in bags and bags of pennies-the dominick claw-but most of all my "honeybees". Thank you for wonderful memories.
Love and miss you, Patti xoxo

Mahan Family,
It was awesome to see such a huge turnout for Unlce Joe and what was even nicer was to see all of you there in your birth order greeting everyone. It really shows what a "classy family" you are and no matter what you stand together. He was a special man and Aunt Pat was the sweetest woman. After loosing my parents I do know that the pain does subside and they do live on in our hearts and we always will cherish them. Always, Cousin

Dear Mahan Family,
I was saddened to learn from my father that your father had passed away. I had the pleasure of serving with him on the North Colonie ambulance during my college summers. He was a great guy and full of encouragement and wisdom. I remembered him at Mass and Communion last night. Please accept my sincere condolences.
