JAMES R. McTEAR

Today, and only by chance, I found out that did Aunt Judy pass away but also Jimmy and Michael. My heart breaks for your loss of those 3 Fabulous People. My Daddy and your Mom had been friends since they were kids in Fishtown. In turn, we were all friends and close to the same ages. John and Jimmy - Pudgie, Michael and Dennis, saved the best for last, Mark and I along with My Darlin Shawn. I remember my Daddy got the call that about Uncle John. We were all devasted and shocked as you all were. I can remember him asking me to show him my latest ballet dance. I loved your Dad and Mom with all of my heart, your Brother's were My Brothers. They and you will always be Family to Myself and Dennis. This is written with such sadness but also with all my Love. Since Pudgie was killed I tell myself that I have aSpecial Angel and boy did I keep him busy! Now you have 4 Angels to watch over you. I've also told myself "You never get over it, you just get used to it". I Love You All and will be in touch very soon.

I remember going to Connie Mack Stadium to see the Phils with Jim. Knew his brother John very well as we were classmates at St. Katherine's of Sienna. In fact, John was our pitcher on our 1958 team that won the CYO Championship.

Great guys, great family.

God Bless,

Mickey Mooney
