I smile Eric and remember the words you used to use every time you saw me you'd say howdy howdy I love you Patrick! I can remember the 100 or more times we spent at each other's house weekends holidays birthdays many just because visits that will never be forgotten all the work we did together side by side father-in-law and son-in-law sharing each other's joys at times sorrows hugging each other's telling each other we love each other sharing common food going out to eat watching movies going to movies shoveling snow where can I meet each other's house and just hanging out I miss you love Patrick

I love you Eric, you are at home in Paradise with Jesus, dancing on streets of gold. Thank you for being such a wonderful dad, grandfather, great-grandfather, husband to Pat your wife, and being such a good listener, as well as conversationalist.
I bet you already met Peg, Pat's sister, and my dad, Henry O'Leary, as well as others you never had the chance to meet. Oh ya, I bet you told my mom a whole bunch of things about all of us and the great times we had while you were here with us before you went to your heavenly home in Paradise. I can still feel you love, warmth, strong embrace, and words...I love you. Can't wait to see you again, one day when God calls me home. Thankyou for your love for all your family, Pat, Cindy, Charity, Liz, Sally, all your kids, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. We all miss you. Love your son in law, and all your family.

Eric, you are dancing more than ever, and celebrating your new life with Jesus in heaven. I can feel you smiling and feel your glow of happiness, seeing Jesus, and seeing family from years past. I bet your talking to Pat's sister Peg, and even met my earthly father. I know he is thanking you for being the father to me that you so wonderfully did become a father to me in his stead as he left to heaven in 1977.
I love you Eric, and still feel your super hugs when we met every time and when you left. Thank you for being my dad in so many ways, and spending good quality time in so many of life's difficult moments with me, my family, and all of us. Thank you for all the heart felt conversations of the last three weeks before your going home to be with Jesus. I miss you, and so do all of us. Until we meet again. Love you, Patrick, Cindy, Charity, Liz, Sally. You are a man among men and a son of the Living God
