I want to thank all our family and friends for their love and support during this difficult time. At times it does not seem real. Please pray for my Dad and family. Keep in touch with my Mom and Carol, who miss his presence the most since they lived with him. He was a great Dad and a wonderful person and he is dearly missed.

Dear Eddie
I am sorry to hear about your father. I remember when we were younger what stories he used to tell and how he made us all laugh. There was the time Laura and I spend the night and he made us eat the famous "scrambled eggs" the next morning.
My thoughts are with you and your family.

Mary Ellen,

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I didn't know your dad but I know how difficult it is to lose one and I bet he was a great guy. I remember you coming to my fathers wake in Weymouth over 20 years ago. You had told me how much you liked my father and I really appreciated it.
Take care,
Maureen Love
