Not sure what to say?

If it were not for your father, my family wouldn't had been blessed with so many wonderful and caring babysitters. I have such vivid memories of all of you, going back to the grandmother that lived right next door to us. I am so sorry to learn about the loss of your father. So grateful that he had such wonderful daughters that left us with fond memories of our childhood. Thank you!

Daddy,
I miss you. Thank you for everything. You are the best. I Love You!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Suzy

Dad, You have given me the strength to go forward in bad times. The love of family and friends. The laughter,wisdom,knowledge and pride of our Irish traditions. I'll miss you very much. Love, Your dumb blonde- Patty

My prayers are with you and your family.

We are so sorry to hear of Uncle Paul's passing. Our thoughts are with you all.
We regret that we are not able to make the trip to Syracuse to be with you today.
Please know that you are all in our prayers.

I'm greatly saddened to hear about Paul.

As a copy editor at The Post-Standard, I worked many years with Paul. I'll always remember how he used to calm me down when I would come running out into the "back shop" with a photo relating to late-breaking news. He was always cool and calm under deadline pressure.

And a lot of fun to be with at the Old N&H!

My best wishes to his family.

I have so many memories of time spent with you guys. I will miss Dad and keep you all in my prayers.

I know first hand the pain and sorrow each of you feels - lean on each other and don't forget that you are his legacy - celebrate his life!
I love you all -Mary

I turned into the person I am today because of you Dad. I will always miss and love you.

To the family,
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to each and every one of you. May God Bless you and give you strength and comfort in this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
