We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Us ladies who work at a dental office in Odenton would ride by to and from work and our lunch and we remeber Mr. O'Hara sitting in the window in a rocking chair with tv tray just looking out the window. Then we would see him in his hospital bed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To the O'hara family, our deepest condolences in the loss Mr. O'hara. For the past six years we would drive by your house and see the gentlemen in the window and give a wave. We were saddened when we heard of your loss and will miss seeing Mr. O'hara in the window every day. Reading about him these last several days has been special in that so many strangers are learning about the man in the window. He sounds like he was a wondeful human being. Also, thank you for putting up the sign in your yard. Warm Regards, Doris Petitti & Bill Key, Gambrills, MD
