Cousins,
Your Dad was a unique and special man. I loved his politics and vision of the world. I was especially proud of his helping other people at the hospital and the Meals-on-Wheels.
I was always impressed with his mountain climbing at that age. Wish I could do that. We all have little unique memories of people - mine being that your Dad was the first, and actually only, person I ever saw that drank Blatz beer. Strange but true.
Your Dad was one of a kind and a real stand-up guy. The world would be a much better place if we had more people like him. Thanks Uncle Jim.

Dear Michael and Peter,
Your fathers's friends at the Lowell YMCA always appreciated his warmth and friendly discussions of current issues. We will always remember those moments of true friendship.
With sympathy,

You have had the opportunity to have an extraordinary father as a big part of your lives. Memories are everything, and I'm fortunate to have them of your Dad & Mom from Washington DC to "The Farm" in Derry to Chelmsford.
They're together now , and smiling at you & your families.
