Dad, I am thinking about you today, as I often do. Uncle Kenny passed this week. I know how close the two of you were. Because of his passing, I've seen some pictures of you - with Uncle Kenny, mostly - that I had not seen before. It is good to see you, dad. I love you. Bobby

Dear Michelle, Bobby, Jimmy and Chris: My deepest sympathies go out to you all. I understand how hard it is to lose a father. Hopefully, you can find comfort in knowing that he is in a better place and at peace now. A memory that stands out in my mind of him, and one that I will never forget, is when I saw him at my dad's wake. He was just standing quietly in the corner and, as I walked by him, he gave me this very comforting, yet, sympathetic smile. I knew he didn't know what to say but with that one smile, it was understood how bad he felt about my dad. I know my dad would have been very touched and appreciative of that, because he liked your dad. It meant so much to us all that he made the effort to come and be there with us.
