Uncle Joe, my always uncle. Always there for a family function, always there to inquire about all his nephews and nieces, always there to give advice about military matters. The Miramonte Lodge rug that he spent all one winter making is one of our cherished possessions and is very sentimental to my family. He set the bar high and we dearly miss him.

This past Christmas Break, I had the privilege of visiting Grandpa Joe at Parkplace. His mind seemed just as sharp and his gregarious personality just as warm as in years past. As always, I left the visit completely humbled from being in the presence of such an extraordinary person. Spending time with Grandpa Joe is truly a transforming experience.

Dear Peter and Family, my sincere condolences. Peter I am so sorry for your lost, I know how close you and your dad were. Peter I was your job coach for many years from Sheltered Workshop. I still have the Irish Flag and other Irish items you and Dad had given to me. The Irish Flag is flying outside of my home at this time. I always remember you and your dad at this time when I take the flag out for St. Patricks Day. This flag will now fly in memory of your dad. You are in my thoughts...

Dr. K. was an amazing example of what it means to be a teacher. He was never 'off' the teacher's podium. Thousands of students are better for having known him, both in and out of the classroom. I always enjoyed listening to him talk, both as a student and later as a colleague at UEHS. He was a natural. Tough but gentle. The world is a better place because he was part of it.

Dr. K was my chemistry teacher at UE and was key to my decision to continue in the field ofchemistry. His leadership in the classroom influemced my style of teaching, later in my life. I will always remember him as a gifted and talented teacher who truly enjoyed and showed his passion for education. My condolences to his family. Bob Lord

Dr. K was a great Principal when he was heading up the Binghamton Central High School....he was one of my favorites, very nice and calm and understanding person. My children remember him from Johnson City Schools. Our sincerest condolences to the family - Charlene Kilgallon Kearley and Family
