Dear Uncle Johnny,
You have at last joined your brothers and sisters, and parents, my Grammy and Grampy, in Heaven. Say a special hello to my Aunt Lil, Aunt Mary, Aunt Set, and, especially, to my Nana. Tell them how much I love them and miss them. And when you see Billy Heffernan, Big Bill, Uncle Al, Uncle Frank, and all the rest of our family, remind them that we still have another Labor Day party to go to at your house when I join you.

My brother and I have fond memories of growing up in the neighhood with the Buckley "children" nearly 50 years ago. I especially remember John schlepping us kids "around the block" on many a Halloween night, and John including me on trips to Charlestown when it was probably less than fashionable to do so. I very much appreciate the kindness and friendship shown by John and Emmy to my parents over the years. Our deepest and most sincere condolences to the Buckley family.

As John's next door neighbor for 36 years, I have many good
memories of the conversations we shared.
My wife Ginny and I were happy to attend his 80th birthday party celebration in April. We send our condolences to Emmie, the children, and all the relatives. You are in our prayers and we are thinking of you in this time of sorrow. I remember how much John enjoyed Halloween and the annual Labor Day party.
