Dad,
It's been a year...and I miss you daily. You have always been my biggest suporter. Even though I'm offically "retired"...I still look for your insights and guidance...and always will.
Since you left...it amazes me how many people were "surprised"... I guess you looked too good...hope Mom isn't jealous.
P.S...Your GREAT granddaugter misses you too...but not as much as ME...

Willy (known by me as Grampy) was given the gift of length of years, but even after 87, those he leaves behind would gladly take a a few more. His legacy, his greatest source of pride and best friend, is his son Rory. Thankfully he became a southerner late in life. Grampy loved his job, his friends, and being so close to his son (my Dad) and our family. I take comfort in knowing that his last years were some of his happiest; we can only hope that we live to see our great grandchildren. Grampy was loved in life and will be deeply missed in death...but we have countless memories and find peace knowing he is happy and smiling down at us...from the Irish Heaven.

I'm lucky to have gotten to know The Bullet over the past few years. He was always there to ensure a prompt start in the tee boxes at White Columns, and provide loving doggy daycare for Bailey, Ben, and Jack. The Bullet was also quick to lend a helping hand (and a keen eye) to jigsaw puzzles at Christmas and cheer his Sox and Pats onto championship victories. Most of all, he was so skilled at sending a smile and a giggle to his great grand-daughter, Charlotte.

Grampy will be missed greatly by his great-granddaughter, Charlotte. Charlotte was so lucky to get to know Grampy and spend so much quality time with him. We will help Charlotte remember him fondly through pictures and stories of our beloved Grampy.

Mr. McCarthy,
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 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.
