To the Dakin Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss our father/grandfather. Uncle George was great person taking care of everyone he came in contact with.
I was very forunatate to grow up just 300 yards down the street from his home. He was always there for my parents and family. I will always remember the rides to school and mid night mass at Arch Street. He would always greet me saying "hello Big Al" as I walked into his house. He will never be forgotten. Thanks for sharing such a great man with us.
Bob, Lynda and the Kelleher Family

Dear Harold,Paul and George, I have very fond memories of Uncle George and Auntie Fran. They were always great to me as a kid , they fed me the best steak dinner on one of my crazy spring break trips to Florida and I will always treasure that memory! I hope all the great memories of them get you through this tough time. Kevin

George & Gerry--
So sorry for the loss of your Dad, having lost mine this past Feb-- I think I know your pain. There's really never enough time. Knowing you and not your Dad, but knowing you as friends--I know your Dad must be so proud of you and your famil.y (probably telling everyone in heaven who will listen). Again my deepest sympathy.

Our prayers go out for you, your family and your Dad. I had many occasions to sit on the patio talking to your dad. He loved his family and was so very proud of all that his children had done. Be assued he is loking down on you forever, and smiling to see yet another accomplishment has been completed.
God Bless you all.
