Snooks - gone too soon. I know your nephew James will miss seeing you. He was so fond of you. You always had a smile on your face. I remember going through the checkout in the old Safeway once, and the cashier saw that my last name was Paddy. She asked me if I was related to Murry. I said, "yes, we call him Snooks. He's my husband's uncle." She asked if you were single and said you were one of the nicest men she ever met. Bet you didn't know she had a crush on you! Rest In Peace!

Uncle Snooksie:

Thank you for the pretty dresses you bought me as a kid and for the memories of you and each and every member of my family at some point and time. I remember your love of wonder woman and how Aunt Kate and I would laugh at you because at pop's house you would be in the next room yelling at the tv. I remember watching tv with you on your chase lounge in your A framed house. How when you lived at Maggies, Ashley would come down and dance for you and you would laugh and always give her a dollar and tell her to have me get her an ice cream.

While some time had passed since I last saw you, the memories of my childhood will never be forgotten. You were the gentle giant who had a love for children and animals. That is a special trait and something that cannot be forced and only comes naturally.

For so long, I didn't know what being a Paddy meant, now I grew to learn it means family, memories and a connection that is not broken by time or distance. You will be greatly missed but never forgotten, Tell Bully to bet on the black horse, have pop save a Coca Cola for me and tell uncle John love you so.

Until we all meet again, we will remain on this earth Paddy Proud.

Snooks ~~ there are just tooo many GREAT things to say about you. For as long as I can remember you have been part of my life ~~ of course the older I got, the less I saw you but you were always thought about. I will always remember the holiday pies you brought to us growing up and the hard time you would give Daddy and Bully. You will be truly missed by all of us here but I am sure the rest of the Paddy's are glad you are with them also. We will miss you always and know that there is another Paddy angel looking down upon us.

My Dearest Brother-in-law
The world is a better place, because you lived in it. Your nephews James and Bobby Paddy and the late Robert Paddy and John G. Paddy and your neices Norma Jean Paddy-Mirman loved you dearly and God gave them a special gift when he put you in their lives. You were like a little brother to me, because you lived so many years with me and I loved you with all my heart. I am deeply sorry I will miss our lunch in July. There are no words to ever express the love we all held for you.....and you for us.
With All My love, Joan Paddy- Verity
