"Dude", You have been part of my family for so many years. I know my mom thought of you as one of her own. All the times she made you stop at the house so she could give you a "goody package" on your way home from work. You were a great friend to my father John and brother Bill. You were always willing to help out your friends. Thank you for that you have done over the years for my family. And all the laughs! Especially at the Cape - you and John falling off the Jet ski and not able to get up! Very funny. You were a goober. I will always remember you when I watch the Wizard of Oz and see the Cowardly Lion. I had the pleasure of really getting to know the true you. You were gruff on the outside but a big softy inside. I am sure God and all His angels will comfort your family until they see you again. Take Care my friend. Until we meet again. "Bart"

To Liam's family and friends,
I was saddened and shocked to hear about Liam's accident. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Years ago, Liam and a group of us took the train to Philadelphia to see an Amnesty International concert. Liam had us laughing the entire trip. He always knew how to have a good time and never took things too seriously. I'll always have fond memories of him and his infectious laugh. Take care during this sad time. With Liam's passing, the world just got a little less funny. :(

To our dear friend Liam. May you rest in peace and know you will never be forgotten... and that you were much loved in life. Life moves on so quickly and dear ones who live far away are sometimes taken for granted until the end comes. Our deep sympathy goes out to Anne and the McCafferty family. Much love. God be with you in this troublesome time.
