Mr. O'Connell,
Sir, I didn't know you, but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Navy during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Uncle Bill was the most jovial person I ever knew. He always wanted to know how I was, how I was doing and always had a joke.
Rest in peace Uncle Bill.
