Not sure what to say?

Dear Gina, I have not been to your part of St.George Ave. since the COVID 19 Quarantine. I am 60 miles away. From this distance I am thinking of you as you face the 10th anniversary of Kerry's departure from this Earth. Between that and the challenges imposed on small business owners by COVID 19, as well as everything else life.has thrown you between those two defining events, I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you. I hope you can feel the long hug I am sending you. Warm Regards,...

Our deceased ma ma Always told us stories of this magical gentleman monsieur Kerry! How he would pick them up from the high school in a Minnie goldblatt box truck in the cold and the dishes would be warm. How he taught her to drive in a dodge power wagon. At night they, a group, would spend time with his beloved ma ma on the corner of his familial home. Mme O'Connor crossed our ma ma safely each day after school. Ma ma shared kindergarten class with monsieur O'Connor's nephew Stephen. The...

Gina and Family.. we last saw Kerry and you at my wife's 50 th birthday party

To the O'Connor family, we are so sorry for your unexpected loss. We were shocked when we read the article of Kerry's passing during our latest visit to Beana's. Kerry always made us feel like friends -- it was clear he loved people and life! He will be missed.....

Dear Gina and family:

We stopped at Beana's tonight after not being there for many months, and were shocked and saddened to learn of Kerry's passing. As others have said, he was always a familiar presence with a smiling face and warm handshake. We have many fond memories of Beana's and hearing Kerry's stories. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

To Gina and Family,
I just found out about Kerry and am deeply saddened by your loss. I had just ran into him a week earlier and promised I would get to Beana's soon. God I wished I had gone. I am grateful I had that last conversation with him - as he knew how to put a smile on ones face, even if you were having a bad day. My heart goes out to all of you. Please forgive me.

We were at Beana's for dinner last night and read about Kerry's passing. Our hearts and prayers are with his family and friends. We are frequent patrons of Beana's and Kerry always made us feel at home. He always took the time to come over, pull up a chair and talk to us. He will be greatly missed by our family for sure...

I'm still speechless. God bless the family.

Gina, We are so sorry for your loss. Kerry was a good friend and i will miss him so. He was one of the nicest people I have ever known. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. steve, SET PLASTICS
