I was married to Prentiss in 1971, Preston´s younger brother. He was a great brother in law and I´ve got many lovely memories of Preston and how well he helped to care for my son early on. He and Prentiss were well known for their tennis skills - many will remember them in their tennis whites walking down Main Street in the 70´s! RIP, and May you get lots of hugs and kisses from all your departed siblings once you all meet up again! Love you Preston!

I am so very sorry to hear about Preston's passing. I never saw that man without a smile. When I was going through tough times, he raised me up.When our son was involved in a terrible auto accident, he and his wife, Trish were right there supporting us. I will always remember his terrific sense of humor, his love of God, and his all around happiness. It was a priviledge to have known Preston. He will always live in our hearts.May he rest in peace with God and Jesus.

I am sorry to hear of Preston's passing. I worked with Rev P when I was working for the CACD office on Foster Street with Geraldine Worthington. He had such a great influence on so many of the people the staff there. His presence will be greatly missed.

My sincerest condolences to all of you. I met Preston when I was a student at WestConn hanging around the tennis courts. He used to put me through tennis drills because I was on the tennis team. Since that time I have watched his evolution and the great work he has left in our community. He will be missed and I know goes home to his just reward.
