My deepest sympathy to my second family. Your father will be very missed by all. I am so grateful that I just recently got to FaceTime with him and Ma in March. I loved that after 47 years he still called me Burbot. The great memories The Sheehans, The Desmond's, and The Tobins all shared on Green Hill. Meeting at the Apple tree. The secret door in the laundry room. The huge boat in the back yard that we had so much fun in. Your father had so many talents. The craftsmanship woodwork, the boats and ships he put together and hand made all the people. I was in awe. He was one of a kind. All the wonderful memories I will always remember. My love to all of you.
