Not sure what to say?

Dear Mary Beth and Family,
So sorry to hear about your Dad, a favorite of the Hillbrook kids, some 36 in 12 houses: Kings, Hughes, Nelans, Atkins, Daileys, Minches, Bartholomews, Wrigleys, Connellys, Creightons and Graners. Cut that huge lawn with a mechanical mower. Joined in our antics, games, participant in the World Series pools, subscribed to the neighborhood newspaper. I remember well how thrilled your folks were when you and John Clancy joined their family. May good memories warm...

Bob, self named Boob, was one fantastic FOY (and many other parks) camper! Helpful, loyal, sharing/giving, appreciative and one fantastic horse shoe pitcher. A wonderful friend, he'll be missed and remembered forever, by us.

Mary Beth and family, We are so sorry for your loss. Allison and I are grateful for having a chance to get to know your dad. What a kind man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Mary Beth and Family and Friends, I have wonderful memories of Mr. Wrigley hosting a block picnic in the backyard, watching him play baseball across all of our backyards, keys jingling on a chain as he ran to catch fly balls, and calling "Annie getcher gun" to my sister (who then got mad, making him smile wide; she was 3). My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, and I've asked my son Eric to look for Mr. Wrigley in heaven because what fun to think that now he can teach my Eric how to...

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am grateful for the wonderful memories of our family being next door neighbors to the Wrigley family on Hillbrook Road. And grateful that Michelle, David and I visited Bob recently at Appleridge.

Wrigley/Conwell Families,
At a loss for words for your loss. Mr. Wrigley was a second father for us Hillbrook Bombers. His guidance is still felt today. He will be sorely missed.

Mary Beth and family,
Prayers and thoughts. So many Hillbrook Road fond memories of your family and the neighborhood.
