Dave and I have been close friends with Eileen and Steve since 1976 when we moved across the street from them in Norwood. Forty five years later is a mourning time for us with Eileen's passing last year, and now Steve. How he entertained us with the electric organ for holidays, and do the same at our house; great fun and good times. In the last year we have chatted by phone many times. It is an end of an era.
My father John Tynan and Steve were friends long before we became the Neighbors.
Love and sympathy to Stephen, Monica, Matt, and Barbara and all the family. We love you all. A donation will be made for the animal society.

Stephen, Matt, Monica and Barbara, for 45 years we have been very, very close friends to your Parents, and now it ends. We loved Eileen and Steve. Please accept condolence on the passing of your Dad; we are very sorry. It is the end of an era for us; we also are in mourning to see it go. Steve chatted with us by phone every couple of months this year. Note: he and my father, John Tynan, down on Devon Road , were friends, long before I moved to Norwood in 1976. Our family histories are mingled. We love you all, please know that. With LOVE, friends BettyAnn and Dave, Savannah, Georgia Will send a donation for the Animals.
