Pat, Sean & Family, Mike, Brendan and Ian, your Dad/ Grandpa was so loved by all of you. He was a lucky man and he knew it by all the love you shared with him. He will be missed. He was a darn good Republican and he and my Mom, Neva, who was a darn good Democrat, would have great debates. Rest In Peace Mike.
