Oh how heart breaking. Knew Mr. O'Brien for years and shall remember him always as a good Christian, a good husband to dear Alice and a great dad to his son's in addition to the lives he touched throughout the parish. He will be missed for many a year to come. May he rest in peace.

Greg and Alice were a part of our lives for so many years. We cry when the ship leaves our shores, but those on the other shore rejoice at its coming. Will be sorely missed by all.

He will remain in my heart forever! He was the most fair and just person I have ever met, and I thank God for all the memories, laughs and spiritual guidance he has given me through the years. He remained supportive and non-judgemental all the way up to his passing. No doubts he left a legacy for all to live by and a light of Faith for us all to follow. I look forward to seeing him again in Heaven! It's comforting to know mom, Beth and Uncle Dick were standing by waiting for his embrace.

We are so sorry to hear of your father's passing. Joan and Greg became friends years ago riding the Septa train to Center City. We scheduled Jimmy's baptism so that he would administer this sacrament. His constant dedication to his ministry as a Deacon, his reliability for Tuesday evening Sodality novenas and his kindness to our mother, Marie, will always be remembered. But, most of all, Greg's sense of humor and that GREAT SMILE will be missed by all of us. We know he is in a better...
