We will be thinking of you and Uncle John in this time of mourning and faith. You will find strength knowing that he will be reunited with loved ones - and always accessible in our cherished memories.
Memories of those early days in Red Hook when the family was closer come to mind today. Will try to call so that we can continue to share our common bonds and future hopes

Cecelia, Paul and the Kiernan Family: we are proud to have met your Dad. He was loving, fun, gentle and a joy to spend time with. We enjoyed his sense of humor and manner in which he treated us like family. The fact that he loved food ("I could eat!") will always make me smile! We love you all and pray that you find joy and happiness in all the memories he gave you. And we are proud to know he served our country well.
