Dear David & Bill and families
I am writing to let you know I will not forget your Mom & Dad. We had some nice visits in Fl. I had been to visit them and they came to my house and visited us. When I went back to Gloucester I also visited or called your Mom. They were a nice Aunt and Uncle to me. Your Mom gave me a few family pictures and notes on the family history which I appreciated. My best to you both I know it is hard losing them as I just lost my Mom in March and my Dad 28 yrs. ago. You will alway miss them. May they be at peace now.
Love Lois and Frank Dermody

I am so sad to hear of George passing away....He was a very good and wonderful friend to me.....When I returned from the Korean War in 1952, and returning home to my uncle Joseph (Buddy) O'Maley and his wife Edna (my aunt), he invited me to go tuna fishing with him on his beloved big tuna boat..We had a wonderful day together, George showed me how to keg line and use harpoons....He was a true wonderful friend of mine, I will never forget him, and also his beloved wife Gertude, who also was so nice to me.......Rest in peace George, I will never forget you.....
