Mary, Paul and I are so sorry for your loss. Please know that our prayers are for you and your family to remember the wonderful times you shared with your Dad over the years. I know Mary and I smile a lot when we recall clamming as children at the cottage and putting shingles on it after one of the major storms. Our fathers were all so handy and it was a blessing to have such experiences as children and young adults. We both cherish the time we all spent together as kids. Warm hugs to all of you,Cousins Alice, Paul, Evan and Mary

I am so sorry to hear that Uncle Joe has died. I remember family gatherings at the beach house. Playing lawn darts and watching the adults eat quahogs. Uncle Joe had a great laugh. I'll always remember those beach days spent with the family.
