My thoughts and prayers go out to the Dakers Family. May God Bless you all; so very sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of your Dad.

Our deepest condolences to the Dakers family from the McCarthy family. Seeing John ride the melha scooter up and down rosewell avenue in the late 50's and early 60's with that smile and his laughter will remain with us forever.
