To John and Nancy Harigan, who just left a message for Peggy. Peggy is no longer with us either.

Peggy, Nancy & I are so sorry to hear of John's passing. So many enjoyable times together. We love you both and will cherish the memories forever. John & Nancy Harrigan

Peggy, we were so sorry to learn of John's passing. Just know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this time of loss. He was well liked by all who knew him.

So sorry for your loss. The memories of Pappa Shahan will always fill my heart. Life is like a garden, the best flowers always get picked first. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

So sorry to hear of John's passing. I have many memories of him at the Berg telling his stories and taking part in all the "whatevers" the guys would do. He will be missed.

Worked with John when I was still at the IC Shops. Remember him as a nice and interesting man. I also remember his family's business in Southtown. Condolences to Johns family.

Peggy - we are so sorry for your loss. He was a great friend to us and will be so missed. Heaven is now a more "handsome" place. We love you - Dave and Marilyn

Peggy...so sad to hear about John. What a dear kind man! He will be missed! My thoughts and Prayers to you at this time. And to all the family, especially his sister Peggy, whom I knew years ago living in southtown.
