To my big brother. I think about you always and hope you are in heaven. I also hope that you have reunited with your daughter Samantha and Murray. Times goes by quickly but it feels like yesterday that we spoke on the phone. I will always love you and look forward to seeing you in heaven.

He was the best brother anyone could ever ask for. Always called me and ended the call with, "I love you." I think about him everyday and I miss him so much.

This is my dad. He was the most caring person and funniest man. I couldnt ask for a better dad. Everytime we spoke or spent time together it was filled with laughter. I will miss him everyday and cherish every memory we shared. He was a special person with a beautiful soul and for that others will remember and miss him as well.

PJ was a kindhearted person throughout his life no matter how difficult his times were. He loved people and cherished his family and friends. He was dedicated to his lifelong partner Kathy and loved her with all his heart. PJ enjoyed life. He always had a smile and a quick joke or funny story to tell. His phone coversations were always long but very entertaining. He lived a very simple life with his love Kathy and never asked for more. He certainly loved his sports and looked forward to another Giants victory. I will miss his infectious laughter and will cherish the memories we shared. I will always love you and will hold you and Kathy in my heart forever. You were the best brother a sister could ever have.
