Steve, Rick & Karen,
We were saddened when we realized your Dad had passed away this winter & we were in Florida. We were at the cemetery today & noticed he is nearby my parents.
I have fond memories of the old neighborhood & the very special people who were fortunate enough to live there. Your Dad & family helped make those special memories.
Our thoughts & prayers are with you. Fondly, Allan & Phyllis Crocker

Who would ever want to mess with these guys?
Dear Cousins Steve, Rick and Karen
I'm still saddened and carry a heavy heart as I reflect upon the loss of Uncle Steve. I recently realized just how much the grandchildren of Michael and Elena McCarthy have in common...a true blessing for the love we have in our family. After sorting through the yelling, hollering and Italian emotions, the McCarthy family was rooted in love for family. I've attached one of my favorite photos that captures a brotherly love that trumps anything the city...
