Twenty years gone by. My memories are not diminished. Be well, Dad. You must marvel at the world we are mangling. We will never know your like again. I imagine you and Mum and Reid and beloved Francesca in a place of safety away from all of this. Know, all of you, how much I look forward to seeing you again.

I remember you, Dad, with pride and love. Thank you for being my wonderful friend. If you hadn't been my Dad, I'd wish you were.

Too many memories to count. Most precious: Dad always reaching deep within his pockets to share what he had with the less fortunate...with no fanfare. Standing up for the little guy against Massport in the Senate chamber. Championing the helpless creatures in the world including our family pets. Articulating a simple missive at a wedding or birthday.

I had the great privilege of being his daughter. He left huge footprints to follow. When I lectured in law I loved telling tales of Dad's unique wholesome and decent brand of politics and justice. My husband loved him like a father. My mother and sister and I marveled at his complete lack of driving skills because he was preoccupied with grander visions of a mote perfect world. He loved life and his family and being a good human being. If he gave one iota of good to the world per day he slept well. Love to you Pops.

The Senator never forgot where he came from. He was always there for the people. He was warm, friendly, and always made the time to listen. It was a privilege for me to know him.

I just wanted to express my sadness in Mario's passing. My grandmother worked in the bakery many years ago and we've known Mario for quite some time. It seems like yesterday that he was working in the Peabody courthouse. Our thoughts are with you during this time. Finnegan Family (SALERNO)

The love and respect that the Judge had is felt clear across the country to here in Arizona. I'll always miss seeing him in his yard and on the beach when I walk my dogs. He was truly a great man.

Sincerely,

Such a wonderful man. We will truly miss him. Such great memories of him hitting golf balls on the beach and taking his daily walks. He always had a smile on his face. So glad he got to see the Red Sox win the World Series even if it was just on TV.
