Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of Thomas O'Kane. We didn't get to visit often but the times that our families were together were special. Especially at the O'Kane/Gallagher Reunions. Tom was a special man to those who knew him. I'm sure he's with Pat now and they are looking down fondly on their family. It was a pleasure to know them.

My deepest sympathy to entire O'Kane family. I always enjoyed talking to your Dad on the beach in Sea Isle. He was a very nice man who always seemed to me to be very happy. I'm sure he's at peace with your Mom.

Your Dad was one of the nicest men I know. He always had a smile with a cheerful hello when I would see him. Hasbrook Ave. will really miss him. May he rest in peace.
