I just found out about the passing of Mr. Cleary. He was a favorite teacher of mine at Bishop Kearney HS in Brooklyn. I had him for several English classes. I remember him as good teacher and a kind man. I wish I had the opportunity to tell him as an adult just how much he was appreciated.

I am devastated by this very, very sad news. Peter was my cousin. Two years ago I searched for Peter and finally did locate him. Another cousin of mine wanted to get in touch with him. John was dying from cancer and if it was the only thing I could do for him I would. I don't think they ever reconnected, but John left me with the gift of Peter. Peter and I had not seen each other since our grandmother's passing in 1998. We were trying to meet up last summer, but I couldn't make it happen. I had lost Peter's phone number and so wrote to him, but I never heard back. That was so unlike Peter and I had a horrible, sinking feeling that something had happened to him. I found his phone number tonight. I did not want to call and decided to try and find out online. This is what I have found. I am so glad that we were able to reconnect through letters and phone calls. I have fond memories of Peter as a boy while we were growing up on Long Island. All of his family gone too soon. It is easy to say they are all in a better place, it is us who are left behind, that things are hard for. It is the knowing that I will never see any of them again, only in memories. Yes, reconnecting with Peter was just good for my soul, I hope I was good for his.

Peter Cleary was the big brother I never had . He was my best sweet treasured friend . We were blessed to reconnect again 9 years ago . He was Uncle Peter to my children , who also adored & truly loved him . We are all heartbroken of our loss .i am inconsolable . Will
Write more about this mans gifts , dedication to meals on wheels , his community . In particular Mike , Catherine & their children , were his light and unconditional love . Peter had a wonderful family , which preceded him , way too early . Blessing to my Bro Petie as I called him . We spoke several times a week , oh how hard it is now Npt to call him . We were blessed , he flew out to my Daughters wedding , Megan on 10/1/17 . He was the brides favorite uncle . My family & friends , we're so touched to see him again or meet him . We all made plans to
Meet this spring or summer for a long weekend ... We are all crushed now . My Honor to sit beside him in a warm , welcoming hospice . Having attended my best friends funeral , Peter's sister , Janets way too early funeral at 21 , than Lotettas, Petes Moms Funeral approximately 12-18 mos later .. I felt too weak , too much pain & despair to stay for Petes Funeral. Which understandably now , I regret a bit . So , I will revisit my bro at his resting site this summer .. Much , Blessings , Love & Peace to my Beautiful Best Friend & Bro . God Bless you, You are now surrounded by your family's love , all your Aunts , I vividly recall as nuns , & our Loving Lord , his Mother Mary , & our dear Saints .
