Pat,
It was my pleasure to have taken care of Tony at the end of his life. He truly was a gem, & so are you. Although I never met your sons I enjoyed all the stories you & Tony told. My deepest sympathy to you & your family. Heather, RN

Dear Pat and Tom,
My sincerest condolences on the passing of Sid(Tony). As you know, I had a long term working relationship with Tony-many cups of coffee were involved. I will remember him for his dedication to his work and family, diligence and persistence in his career, and his delightful banter and ability to make everyone feel important.

May your memories of happy times spent with Sid bring you comfort at this sad time.

Awfully sorry to read of Sid's death. I always looked forward to seeing him at Harvard football games and other events and really enjoyed our encounters over the years. My condolences to the entire Greeley family. We will all miss him.

I will always remember coaching with Sid in the Framingham Youth Hockey program and enjoyed seeing his steady and skillful directions he gave the kids. He was a gentleman and treated all fairly. He will be missed. Peter Pleshaw

Hi Grandpa,

I am going to miss you so much! You never failed to make me smile when I called or visited. You always made me feel like I was special to not just you, but everyone. You are and were such a unique and lovely individual. You set the bar high for the future men in my life :). I loved our walks and talks and how you always disappeared on the phone because you were never one for goodbyes. So this isn't goodbye, I love you grandpa!

Dad--how lucky I have been all my life to have you as my Father. You are someone who deserves all the accolades that will be told about you. You took an interest in everything I did. You were not only a great hockey coach, but also the greatest "stealth" right wing I ever played with! I had the privilege to work with you for over 30 years at the Northwestern Mutual. Your friends and clients loved and admired you just as I. Selfishly I have dreaded this moment, but I am very happy you are with our Family of angels that will show you the way and help guide you to your new reality. Thank you for always being there for us--I miss you love Tom

I will miss you so much Dad! I'll miss your laugh, your reminiscences, your funny sayings, your delight in your children and grandchildren, your lefty slice tennis serve deep to the backhand, your sinking curve ball pitch, going to Harvard football and hockey games with you, listening to you enthusiastically sing off-key in church, hikes to the Scout Camp, Mt. Monadnock, and the Trout Club, skiing with you in Stowe, Vt., swimming with you at Harrington Beach in Mattapoisett, the list goes on and on. You were a wonderful dad and I will continue to try to emulate you as best I can. Love, Dave
