Peanut was a great Dad to all of the McAuliffe children. A good neighbor of the Easley Street "Hood". God Bless him.

My sincere condolences and prayers for the family. I grew up in the neighborhood on Easley Street and was over at your house as much as mine. Peanuts was a wonderful man and role model for me. We had some nice conversations as I developed into an athlete. He gave me some good advice along the way. RIP Peanuts.
