I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Farrell. He was a good friend of my Dad (Joe Celata). They played handball together on Tuesday's nights. I'll never forgot Mr. Farrell's kindness to me and my family when my Dad passed away. Mr. Farrell was with him that night and spoke some kind and supportive words to me and my husband at the hospital. He continued to show his kindness throughout the years by always remembering my daughter at XMAS. He was a wonderful man and our prayers are with the family.

Dear Mrs. Farrell and Family,

I knew Dave from the Braintree Athletic club. Him and I would watch the guys play handball on Tuesday nights. I just found out about the passing of Dave and felt terrible. He was a real gentleman and made me smile all the time. He will be missed for sure. He would always talk about you, his children and grandchildren. I could feel the total dedication and love for his family. My prayers are with you.

Dearest Aunt Dot and my cousins Colleen, Joanne, Mary, Bridget, Greg, John, David, Mark and families:

Norm and I and our family send prayers and love to you all. Sharing a few memories of Uncle Dave: when he came to CT in early 50s with Aunt Dot to take care of us 6 while my parents took a vacation, we delighted in his great spaghetti that rivaled my Dad's (he used chopped roast beef instead of meatballs); knowing how much our Dad (Uncle Tom) enjoyed their phone conversations in their later years; we all appreciated so much that he and Aunt Eileen made the trip to Dallas for his brother's (my Dad's) funeral in 1999 when we knew he wasn't fond of flying; his charming company at dinner after their arrival... Though we saw each other infrequently over the years, he was always so warm and welcoming to me and my siblings when we phoned, etc. He will be missed!

Praying the peace and comfort of God's love enfolds you,

With much love,

Brenda and Norm Abdallah and Family

To all the Farrell's,

I love you all and my prayers and thoughts are with you always. I will never forget being invited to family dinners at Pier 4, being a constant Friday night guest at Belcher Circle, going to New Hampshire and learning to ski, and going to Humarock and riding the waves. You are so blessed to have each other and your Dad is in each one of you. I feel so fortunate and blessed to have been included in so many great times!!! God bless you always and everyday!
