E. J. Handron Jr.

My beloved EJ; It's been a long year of missing you, your smile, your hugs and the light in your eyes when they look upon your sons. Thank you for blessing my life, for your strength and encouragement, and for helping me save myself and restore my health. I will always love and miss you and cherish the years we had together.

To my cousins Michelle, Margie, Mark, and my aunt Marge:
You have all been in thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss and that I was unable to come up to Albany for the wake and service. You were like older siblings, in a sense, for me and Jay when were growing up and EJ was no exception! He was like this cool older brother type with his big German Shepard and his snazzy, "own" room in the basement (if I recall correctly). Whenever I was in his presense he always had a sense...

To the Handron Family,

My deepest sympathies and condolences for the loss of my friend and the best point guard I ever had the honor of playing with.

EJ and I go all the way back to grade school when I first met him at the St.Theresa’s drop in center in a one on one contest sponsored by the great Kenny MacDonald. John was there as well.
The final contest was E.J. v.s. myself. Seemly mismatched, that did not alter Eddy’s intension, which was to win the game. He came to play....

To Margie and her family,

I am so sorry for your loss. You have been through alot and you should know that you have lots of friends who are here to support you. We know that EJ is at peace and no longer suffering, and that is a blessing. He lived a full life in a short time. Your family is one of the strongest families I know. Although he will never be forgotten, time will help heal the loss you feel today.

Remember we are here for you!

EJ has been a friend for most of my life. I have never met a person with more personality and self-worth. He is an inspiration to anyone who knew him. My thoughts and prayer go to his family and all who knew him. God Bless

I am so sorry to hear this very sad news. I always smile when I think back of all the great times we had together with our families. I have wonderful memories. Mark, Michelle, Margie,Mrs. Handron I am praying for all of you and thinking of you at this very sad and difficult time. I miss you all....

Dear Father, We are forever grateful that You took Your son and servant, EJ, into Your glorious presence. We are thankful for everything You do for him, and for us, dear Lord. Give us the grace, Father, to possess the reality of the christian life, so that we may live and act in a way worthy of Your blessing. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord... Amen...

Even though he's never met any of you my best friend and roommate Russ wanted me to extend his condolences to everyone in your time of need.

EJ - You always told me I looked just like your brother.
Although, I had never met him, your stories about him, and your ever lasting love for him, remains a staple in my heart. You loved and lived life, a smile for everyone and everything. I will always remember your smile and wit. The world has lost a great one...Be Well...Rest in Peace.

P.S.Tell my Dad... drinks are on him!
