In crack all the way home. His words as we talked on my way home from work. Always a great sense of humor sharp as a tack and witty. We were lucky to have him in Chicago it was like having at least a close uncle or a second father felt more like that than a cousin. Chicago Cubs and Old Style was a perfect afternoon for him. Simple man. Simple needs. Loved forever

Uncle Paddy was such a legend--so many memories of being a kid in his house, with all of the family gathered laughing and sharing stories. His little glass and the way he'd pour the Old Style by raising the can up high in the air. Always had a quick witty comment and a twinkle in his eye. He will be missed and always loved.
