To the Giblin family
I was very saddened to read about Kenney’s passing. I can still remember the good times we use to have in the summer at Quaker Lake. I also can remember the coffee breaks we use to take when we both were working downtown Binghamton. Those were great times.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
May the luck of the Irish
Lead to happiest heights
And the highway you travel
Be lined with green lights.

To All the Giblins: My condolences on the death of Kenny. Like my own family, the originals are getting mighty thin. May God grant you peace and comfort you as you pass through this valley of tears. May God grant Kenny eternal rest and may the Euchre games be as joyous and noisy as those that were held on earth by any of the Giblin clan in Sullivan's Hotel. May God Bless you all and keep you in the hollow of His Hand until we meet agan.
