To the Mahoney family,
Please accept my most sincere condolences on the passing of Bonesy. He was a great guy with an infectious laugh. I will cherish the days we would sit together and critique(shred) the high school baseball practices(torture sessions) while he waited for Christian and our time in Florida when returning to the hotel from dinner I was hit with a gas attack. We laughed so hard that night and for weeks/months after. Also, I will never forget how well he treated my son and his love and devotion for all the many kids whose lives he touched. Mostly what I admired about him was his love and need to be with his family. Truly a great man who I will miss dearly.

Dear Mahoney Family- I got to know Bonesy when I was one of the "girls" at the Friday night sessions that Bonesy coached out of the goodness of his heart. He was a wonderful skater and really wanted all of us to improve in our skating and skills. Then my daughter Katy was lucky enough to have Bonesy as a coach for PeeWee - he always treated the girls so well and she really improved in her playing with Bonesy as a coach. We will all miss him, Sincerely, Winnie Stopps

Mahoney Family,
I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Bonesy at the MDC. He always had a smile on his face and would bring a smile to others. I'm sorry for your loss but I'm sure he's smiling now and everyone around him is also smiling. May your memories help ease your grief at this time of sorrow.

I consider myself very lucky to have known Bonsey. His legacy is rich and full of stories of laughter, Halloween antics and unwaivering love of his wife, children and grandchildren.

I will pray for you all during these dark days and hope you will find support, peace and comfort now and always.

Love,

Dear Jack Mahoney family:

My deepest sympathy to all of Jack's family. Jackie was the best and loved by his fellow employees at Western Electric. You could always count on Jack to leave you laughing, he certainly enjoyed life and will be missed deeply. The world would be a better place with more people such as Jackie in it and how he enjoyed life and lived his life.

Kevin:
I wish to express my condolences to you and your family at the passing of your Dad. The one memory of your Dad that stands out for me is playing and watching him motor during a father & son hockey game at Gore St rink back in the day. He was on the other team and we lost. I will miss his calm and happy demeanor on Sundays at St. Peters

Peace,
