My deepest condolences to the family. I will miss my Uncle Don and his vivid, memorable stories of the "good old days", which I cherished dearly. Especially those involving escapades with his siblings; my Auntie Edna, Auntie Ruth, Uncle Bob, Uncle Bunny, and my dad, Bill. Our loss leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Jimmy, Mary, Peter and Michaela; no words can heal what you're feeling, but I am truly sorry for your loss. I have a picture of my Dad and yours, when they were young and spunky. I thought you might like it, so I put it in the photo albumn.
much love,
Kathy

Dear Jimmy, Peter & Susan, Mary & Fran, Michaela, Shannon and Aunt Edna,
When Dad (Uncle Bill) died 23 years ago, Uncle Don became a living surrogate Dad for me when I saw him, which wasn't often enough. But he was always in my heart as Dad's look-alike brother. Now they can be together and pick up wherever they left off - with some argument about something or other. Dad's waiting for him. I am so sorry for your loss. I love you all.

To The O'Hara,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I will miss our conversations we would have when he would come into the office. I will especially miss his smile and glow when we would talk about the Red Sox.

Mary,
My dad and I were so saddened to read about your Dad's passing. We have fond memories of him in our "first" together and a few after that "Father Daughter" Golf Tournaments that we played as a foursome....We enjoyed playing with the both of you. He was such a sweet man. We had some great fun at those tournaments and became instant friends. Over the years, we missed playing with you guys; him always in our thoughts knowing he wasn't well...It's memories like these, the "good old days" that hopefully will get you through this very difficult time in your lives. When you lose someone...many share in your sorrow! Our condolences..

Hank and I send our most heartfelt sympathy to Uncle Don's children, Peter & Susan, Jimmy, Mary & Fran Reavey and Michaela; and, to his sister, Edna Devine and to grandchildren, nieces, nephews and extended family. Uncle Don is my late dad Marshall's youngest brother. My earliest memories include his stop at our place in Washington, D.C., with his new bride, Carolyn, on their honeymoon. To us kids they always were the most glamorous and fun couple. We cherish all their many kindnesses through the years and our friendships with our four cousins. Our great memories of Don and Carol will endure forever. God bless you all, Love, Betty Ann
