Dear Jenny and family,
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle Nick. He was such a kind man, strong in heart and soul. He and Mom would regale about the good times, the Irish times and he would chortle " Oh geez Mary, oh geez. " It still makes me smile. God bless you and your family through these trying times. May you find peace in the memories of what a great man Nick was, beaming that smile now from heaven.

Uncle Nick,
Even though you had emigrated long before I was born, I came to know you through the many photographs and letters that were so kindly sent to my mother.

How handsome you stood with Uncle Tim, Sr. Damien and Aunt Nora. These photos were replaced and updated by beautiful pictures of your wedding and of your five children.

My mother passed on her deep affection and love that she had for you to our family and, even though miles divided us, we knew you well.

We will always have great memories of your trips to Ireland and Durrus .

So today,on behalf of Richard, Georgina, Richard Jr, Jonathan and myself I offer sincere condolences to Jennie, Peggy, Mary, Timmy, Nick, Nora and the extended family on the death of our beloved Uncle Nick.

Jenny,
Nick had the strongest grip of any many alive! My hand still hurts! Everytime he would shake your hand you wouldn't know if he was going to crush it or not! Great, quiet man who made this a better place.

Dear Ginny and Family,
I remember Nick and Ginny as a small child when they came back for their honeymoon pre-electricity. I remember your kindness to us as children and you have remained in my life since. I enjoyed driving you in 1977 when Sister Damien passed away earlier in the year.
To my dear cousins Peggy, Mary, Nora, Tim and Nick Jr ,I send my deepest condolence as does my wife Helena and my four children William , Chris, Sarah and Tim.

Yours Sincerely, Finn
