My prayers for my cousin and childhood playmate and hero. His service in Italy and Germany was to me the height of heroism and he came home a man after leaving Somerville Mass. as a boy. I looked up to him and loved him. My love to the boys and to his darling wife Agnes.

To George's three handsome sons, who we've been hearing about from your Mom while working with her at Cabot and during the many years since, we did not want George to leave us so early but, for reasons of his own, God wanted him sooner. May peace be in your hearts. My prayers go out to you.

Knew you in your many years in Billerica. You were a outstanding educator and gentleman. You will by missed by family and friends.

Miss you, Dad. You were a good man and had a great life -- but as always you were taken too young from the ones who loved you. Rest at peace, enjoy the afterlife and we hope to see you again one day.

Love you! -- Jim
