Not sure what to say?

Marge and family. I was so sorry to hear the news about Si´s passing. I was looking for you at Irish Fest in Milwaukee! The trip to Ireland with the Emerald Society was my all time favorite. RIP...

My heart is with all of you and prayers for strength in your memories. I didn´t know about the wake until today. I wanted to be there. I am so sorry

I'm Terry O'Donnell's niece and remember "Uncle Buddy" from family parties years ago on Oconto. Condolences to the O'Donnell and Considine families.

Deepest condolences to my good friend Si. I am privileged to have worked with him for many years both with CPD and the Merit Board. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Al Graf

Knew "Si" from the CPD and part-time gigs we worked together. I was continually impressed by his sincere dedication to the Emerald Society, always volunteering his time and talents on behalf of many worthwhile causes and events. Brother, you touched many lives along the way and may the good Lord now welcome you into His kingdom. Rest in peace kind sir, your work here is done.

Our sincere condolences to the O'Donnell family. I worked with Si from 1989-1995 Mass Transit Unit.. Si was an excellent supervisor, and mentor. Have often thought about having tea with Si and Maureen Oloney on a Saturday morning. God Bless You. Dennis and Geri McGuire

Such good 1970´s (and onwards) memories of such a good man. May he know our God´s presence now and forever.

Marge and family, I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Simon's untimely passing. "Saint Simon", as I would call him, was a joyful "protector" of my mom. Always so good natured, she couldn't ask for kinder neighbors. She, and I, will miss him. Unfortunately, I will be out of town and unable to say "goodbye." I will never forget him and he is in my prayers. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Heartfelt and prayerful condolences from the Chicago Police Chaplains. Si will be remembered at the next Police Mass. In the meantime, may family and friends know the healing touch of our all-loving, all-merciful God! [Police Chaplains Ministry: www.ChicagoPCM.org or 312/738-7588]
