Not sure what to say?

Unknown I´m at 38 years. She was a good man. He helped me out plenty of times. Got me out of trouble plenty of times. He´s a great man. Darren.

Rest in peace Uncle Emmet. Our deep condolences and prayers to your family. The Cotter Boys are all together again. Love, Eileen & Frank

RIP to the last of my dad´s siblings and my Godfather. Will miss that unmistakable Cotter boy´s laugh, along with all of those great stories. So proud of how you turned the Irish curse around to help and save not only yourself , but so many others. Our hearts will certainly be heavier moving forward . May you be at peace with my father, Uncles Billy and Brian, Aunt Margaret, Grammy and Grandpa, as well as all of those cousins. Prayers and thoughts to Carol and the "kids".

Emmett was a wonderful man and good friend. He gave me a place to live when I had nowhere to go.

I am Emmitts cousin our granddad was his father's brother, ..our mom Madeline would take all 9 of us to n.j. for Sunday dinners, and Emmitt would take us down the road for ice cream.

Emmet was a wonderful friend, always willing to help the sick and suffering. He knew how to say things so there was no mistaking what he was trying to get across. I was so lucky to have his friendship and support for nearly 30 years. Rest in peace Easy Emm, you wont be forgotten!

Emmet`s mother Mary O´Brien Cotter, was my father`s sister and my aunt. Emmet was the youngest with three older brothers and an older sister. All of the Cotter siblings were very intelligent, but challenged by the "Irish curse". I was Emmet`s "two month older" cousin and we grew up together. He was a Richfield, New Jersey boy and I was a Bronx New Yorker. Our families got together almost ever otherweek when we were young. Emmet was bigger and stronger and I was his little New York cousin....

I was deeply saddened to hear of [His Name]´s passing. I had the privilege of knowing him for over 20 years, and while we didn´t always see eye to eye, I always valued his perspective on life. He had a unique way of seeing the world, and our conversations were always lively and thought-provoking. I will truly miss those moments and the joy he brought to each meeting. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.
