It was a shock to see Tom's obituary in the paper today, and it is with much regret that I was not in contact with you over the past Summer. It's been a rough 10 years or so, but I was so happy to have the Keerys back in my life after a long absence. I sit here and smile at the numerous memories of the "Rotten House" and all those colorful folks that once filled it. My prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

Tom,

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your father. You and your family are in our prayers.

Dear Tom: I am very sorry about your Dad. I just lost my mother last month. It must have been very difficult for you to watch your father suffer as he did at the end. We know he is in heaven and everything you do in life is a reflection of him. I am sure he will be watching over you and smiling with pride as he says to God "That is my son Tom". He will always be an inspiration to you. You are a lucky guy to have a father like him and he is just as lucky to have a son like you.

Tom, Laura, Katherine, Thomas, Barton, Anna and all the rest of the Keery Families:

My deepest sympathies for the loss of your Father, Grandfather and husband. Know that he will always be with you and in your hearts.

Tom: I am sorry to learn today of the death of your father. In our business it is hard to lose a father because you lose not only a father but also a business partner/mentor whether the've retired or not. Even if we didn't always take their advice they were there for us when it was needed. The memories will be supportive in the long run and after four years, I still get an inner smile remembering the good times or wish he was here for some advice on a critcal decision. Please extend my sympathies to your mother, bothers and sisters for your family loss. My prayers go out to you, Laura and your children. Buzz
