Not sure what to say?

I met Leo through his daughter Lynn who I dated and was engaged to from 1970 through 1976. Unfortunately Lynn and I went our separate ways in 76, but I always kept deep feelings of respect and love for Leo and Anne. I was deeply saddened when Lynn and I reconnected and I learned of Leo and Anne's passing. I will always remember the feeling of respect and love for them and the feelings that they had for me. I still miss them to this day. Leo always gave me hope and a feeling of a...

People are always talking about how dysfunctional their families are. I thought ours fell into that category until my girlfriend from Greenfields Village, Sharon Magee, told me how safe she always felt with my family. She said that if anything bad happened to her, she knew she could come down the street to 31 Holly Drive and my family would take care of her.

I was truly fortunate to be a member of one of those rare things, a rather functional family. This was due to the love my...

I first met Leo Flannery, Mr. Flannery to me, when as 7 year olds Anni and I first met. I spent alot of time in their home in those early years and even as a child I new he was special as a man and as a father.
Not long ago Anni and I reconnected after many years and we were talking about the happy memories. Mr. Flannery would often drive me to church and Sunday School along with his own kids. I was impressed because he usually stayed with us...he didn't just drop us off as some parents...

My grandpop was a very caring and considerate person. He always put everyone before himself. He helped me grow up and be who I am. He always helped me through my troubles and helped me with whatever I wanted. My grandpop was a very smart guy. He was in the printing business for quite a long time.

My grandpop was a very nice guy. He knew a lot and was very smart. He always helped me and gave me a challenge when I visited him. He would either make me do a puzzle, or he...

Dear Flannery family
So sorry to learn of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. It was great working with Leo at Winchell and he will surely be missed. May Gods blessing be on you.

Well, Im not sure exactly what to say, for once I am speechless. I want to start off by saying thankyou to all those who left messages about my grandfather. You never realize how important people are in your life until they are no longer with us. I spent 21 years with this man. He saw me take my first step, heard my first giggle, wiped my first tears, even bandaged up my first scrape. When I was young I thought people lived forever, death was never something I had to deal with. I had...
