Aw Dad - though a decade has gone by in the blink of an eye our missing you has not diminished.
I miss your calling to me during a sporting event on tv to come watch the replay.
I miss your feigning surprise when we would first arrive for a visit in Avon.
I miss looking up and seeing you wave, first from the side window, and then the front, as we backed out of the driveway.
I miss helping you unload Christmas presents from your car.
I miss the anticipation, as kids, of you coming home On a Friday night with treats from DQ.
Mostly I just miss knowing you were there even if I was 90 miles away.
We love and miss you Dad. You are a part of us always

Mom & Dad ...
Sitting here on this somewhat significant day, to me anyway, wishing you were both here to celebrate with us.
Remembering the birthday, when I worked in Boston, and you called me and both serenaded me with Happy Birthday.
All the birthday cards, some with cash, others with checks, always with a note from Mom to "get something for yourself."
Love you both so much.
January 2, 2020
Would have loved to see you at 95 Dad! Can image your comments about the patriots and Red Sox, and all the other goings on of the day.
This will always be a special day for our family.
December 24, 2019
Dad & Mom,
It's easy to say wish we could go back and experience again all those cherished Christmas memories. Wish you were here now though, with us, celebrating together.
Miss and love you both so much. In our hearts always.
August 13, 2019

Dad & Mom - celebrating today with you both. Remembering the most important gifts you gave us - your sacrifice so we could go to private school, have braces, and so much more.
Remembering the day when I worked in Boston, and you surprised me with a call, serenading me with "Happy Birthday" over the phone.
Miss and love you both so much ...

Father's day is such a bittersweet day, mixing happiness, memories, melancholy. Found myself looking at father's day cards, wishing I had a reason to buy one.

Dad...played golf this weekend with Sam. Whenever we golf together our thoughts turn to you. Sam asked if you were lefty or righty and I told him while you were righty you could actually hit from both sides. Sam, a lefty, has now decided he wants to learn to hit righty, so he can be like Papa. Miss you Dad.

May 19, 2014
Dad - Saw Mom this weekend and she gave us the coins you had collected and the bicentennial letters. It was such a surprise but of course typical of you. Sam and Olivia were so taken with your gesture. They poured through the coins, opening each package and carefully sealing them again. Sam has had all the packages of coins with him in bed every night since. You continue to have such a big impact on us. We love you so much.
March 26, 2014
It was a sunny day. Although it seems like yesterday, I can't recall if it was warm or not. I remember walking around the yard, and the house in which we grew up, puttering in the basement, wondering how many hundreds of times you had traveled the same path. I thought of the trips to the grocery store when I was very young, just to be able to spend time with you. And remembered the day, among others, when everyone surprised you with golf clubs bringing a tear to your eye. That sunny day four years ago... Our grieving may have stopped since but our sorrow chills within us still, warming when thoughts and memories of you shine upon us like the sun that day.
February 6, 2014
Hey Dad ...
Nothing would make me happier than having you with us today.
January 2, 2014
Thinking of you .. wishing you were with us on this day. Holding your memories close to our hearts.
December 23, 2013
Thinking of you Dad ... remembering helping bringing the bags of gifts from your car into Denise's. The huge pile of gifts. Your animated looks of surprise when you opened a gift.
Miss you - love you.
November 27, 2013
Thankful for all that's in our lives ... hoping you know that you're part of it.
November 14, 2013

Unbelievable Dad ... Sox did it again! Watched the ending with Sam, thinking of you. In '04 and '07 you and I chatted right after the win. Wish we could have last night. Miss you. Love you ...

Onto the Word Series Dad... can you believe it!
September 12, 2013
From Beth:
So 12 yrs ago, it was the day after 9/11 and two days after Patrick's
diagnosis. I had taken that week off from work not only to take Pat
into Boston to see the specialist but also to paint the house.
Joe and I painted the entire house ourselves that
summer and I still had some trim work to do. (well mostly Joe did it...)
I had dropped Pat off at the sitters and was on the deck working
on the trim. It was probably 9ish. And dad showed up with his work
clothes and shoes under his arm. Asked if I needed help.
I was so happy to see him.
It was a beautiful sunny Sept day. Dad talked about how quiet it
was cause there was a no fly zone. And how he thought even though
it was crazy and sad what had happened the day before, he thought
it would bring the country together... and reminded him of when the US
went into WWII. Everyone was so patriotic. And he was right cause
people started hanging flags that week in front of their houses.
I ended up bringing down the lil tv and plugging it
in on the deck so we could watch the news .... and paint.
So much had changed that week because of Patrick and 9/11. It
was nice to have dad there. I'm sure he was eager to help. But maybe
thought I would need some company because of all that was going on
with Patrick.
I would go back there in a heartbeat to spend that day with dad....
even if it meant reliving the hard times.
August 29, 2013
First day of school Dad... kids are excited. I know you are proud of them. You are in our hearts ...

Dad... Patriots in super bowl again. I know you'll be watching. I remember the first time they won. We talked on the phone just after the kick went through the uprights.
