"Putsy was truly a gift from God to us all. His love of life and people, made the world a better place. His influence on me, will never die. Your family was truly blessed by having Putsy. He will be in my prayers always, as will your family." ~ Harry T. Begg, III

Mrs. Caballero , Rick, Dan, Cabby,Steve, Claire and family. As I am sure you know, my mom and I have both been very ill. Nevertheless, we want to express, our deepest sympathy re: the loss of Putsy. There is no excuse for such late sympathy, but we speak from our hearts and Putsy is in our prayers. The loss of Mary Begg, was not only unexpected but like the loss of Putsy, was overwhelming. Putsy was like a father to me (Harry), and I think of him often. Over the years, not once was Putsy "not there" for me whenever I needed him. Putsy had the ability to always find the good in everyone and I was no exception. I personally miss him dearly and will never forget all that he meant to me. He always encouraged me during the toughest of times, and never looked at my faults, but rather my true self. While my vision is gone, my memories of Putsy, will remain with me as long as I live. The world would be a better place if there were more men like him. Respectfully, Harry T. Begg, III & Mrs. Harry T. Begg, Jr.

I was able to meet you when I was in New Orleans for the Super Bowl. I came by to visit you and though you & your lovely wife did not know me, you welcomed me into your home and we talked baseball, family, New Orleans and we talked about your wife's favorite football team...the Saints. I just found out about this and I am very sad to say the least. My prayers are with all of your friends and family. Thank you for the great memories that I will always cherish!

To Clare and the family,
I was saddened to hear of Putsy's death. I realize he was ill and I was trying to plan a trip to New Orleans in early 2017 to visit. I last saw him when he was 70, a long time ago and one of my greatest joys. My husband and I visited the day after his 70th and shared a piece of birthday cake together.I have always called myself his "#1 fan" and have followed him throughout the years.Number 3 is our favorite number because of him and all 8 of my children understand why. I proud to have grown up in Philadelphia, to have witness the 1950 World Series and had the honor staying in contact with Putsy all these years.
May he rest in peace...Lois Christy

My whole life my mothe Lois (Putsy's greatest fan) spoke of him and the 1950 Phillies. My family grew up with memories of my mother growing up in Philadelphia, her favorite player and the number 3 will always be the best. My husband Steven
and I will always cherish our visit to your home & the stories he shared with us.
Wishing your family the peace and grace that his love and memories will continue to bring.

Dear Mrs. Caballero and the entire Caballero family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I have so many wonderful memories of spending time at the Caballaro house when I was younger. Mr. Putsy was a joy to be around and always had the time to discover how I was doing, talk sports and always offer words of encouragement. I will always hold closely my memories of him. Your family is in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Kurt and Lisa Forshag
