I miss those jokes! Moose had such a great sense of humor. I never saw him once without him making me smile. God Bless to all his family.

My prayers go out to the entire McGuigan Family. I worked at Zeiglers for 8 years and Mac always made me smile. May God bless you during this difficult time.

Fred and I have some wonderful memories of the fun-loving guy at many of the fund-raising parties we attended. He was a giant among men in more ways than one. RIP and say hello to the Phillies of yore and make sure they are watching our wonderful team of this year. Fred and Carol Olinick Limerick PA

So sorry to hear about Moose and my sympathy goes out to his family. I was Dave Kennedy's wife and Moose was one of the first people I met when I moved to Lansdale and knew him from the German club as well. He was a great guy and I'm sure his passing will leave a huge empty spot in any room.....

Uncle Paul was a larger then life kinda guy - with an endless supply of jokes or funny stories. He worked hard but he always took time to enjoy himself - especially if there was a gang of kids around.
Among my fondest memories were his easter egg hunts, his passion for the Phillies & his love of westerns, how he teased 'Grandmom Garfield' and how he & dad enjoyed their tractors. And who can forget 'The Night before Christmas'?
You will always be fondly in our memories and hearts.
With love -

Brother, you are greatly missed and will be remembered forever. You were always there to help and were there when needed.
You always had a joke and a good laugh to share. It's going to be quiet around here without you! Peace and love, Frank and Joan PS We're still looking for Lucky!

Mac, you always made me laugh, smile and look up really high into the sky! You will be missed.

sorry to hear about "moose". he brings back many happy memories of Pennbrook and North Penn football. without Paul leading the way we would not have been the successful team that we were. I still have a picture of Paul and myself from the 9th grade team standing over a fallen victim. of course Paul was the big guy and I was the little guy.

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of "Mac." He was a good friend and a very dependable driver who I could always count on to be there to cover the loads that I set up. He will be missed.
