I have such great memories of your Dad while growing up in Kimberly. He had such a great laugh and was always so welcoming to all of the neighborhood kids. I remember many days playing "house" in your basement. I'm sure he will be missed by the many lives he touched.

Sue, DJ, Barb, John, Bill, my heart goes out to each of you. My deepest condolences, and Mom's as well. She is very saddened as she reads and re-reads the papers from the past 3 days. She loved her little brother immensely (as well as all of her siblings).
My memories of my godfather go back to childhood when he would take us out to the country to roll down the biggest hills he could find (even if we hit a few 'cow pies'). He was at my First Communion, my Confirmation, he encouraged me the yr I went to Holy Family, and understood when I did not return. He helped with our first adoption, and was thrilled with each of our children as they came. He was very very very loving during an extremely hard time in my life.

He always made each of us feel like we were his favorite niece or nephew. He loved each and every one of you with all his heart. He was proud of you, and of your families. I can picture him with Aunt Rose Marie, and all the family members having a real Irish reunion in Heaven (including my Dad), singing and laughing as he always did.

I'll miss him very much. I loved him always. God bless each of you, and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26)
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

A very good friend when in grade school in Askeaton. He was a great help when my folks passed away. My wife and I stopped to see him occasionaly at his office. He was a joy to talk with.

I enjoyed seeing your Dad when I volunteer at St. Paul Villa. Oh, how he loved to sing 'DannyBoy' with Villa Voices. He always enjoyed the Birthday Breakfasts when he was there. Great guy and will be missed by all of us..

Dear cousin,
I was so sorry to hear about Uncle's death. I am glad that I had a chsnce to see him at Bob's birthday. I know that he is celebrating with your mom and that Heaven is filled with Irish singing as he meets his nephews and other loved ones. A parent's love can never be replaced, but know that he loved all of you deeply and was proud to be your dad. I will miss his joking and love also. All my thoughts and prayers go with him and you.

Our condolences to the Burns family. He was a wonderful little Irishman and a great attorney. He worked with us several years ago when we sold our home. We enjoyed knowing him. He was a fine gentleman.

Sue, DJ, Barb, John and Bill
Terri and I were deeply saddened Sunday afternoon when Karen called to inform us of the passing of your Father. We are so sorry and want you to know we are thinking of you, and what you and your families must be going through right now. Mere words fall far short of expressing our heartfelt sorrow. Your Dad was very special and very much loved by both of us. We pray that you find peace, comfort, and strength through this difficult time.
Again please accept our condolences for you, and your families, and my prayers for your dad.
Love
Dave & Terri Lauer
