Dear Patty & Family - So sorry to hear about your dad's passing. Your parents and my parents (and probably grandparents) were always friendly. I often remember our moms having long conversations at the outlet where your mom worked up near the old Shop-Rite when we'd stop in to buy was it lingerie? (I think.) I believe last time I saw your parents was at Luigi's in Belvidere. I had my parents up there for dinner and yours were there at the same time; so, they caught up. Your dad was always a warm and kind gentleman. He will be missed. Sandy McPeak Julian

Dear Pat and Joe, We have many, many wonderful memories of your Dad and Mom. They were the best next door neighbors one could have. We shared long chats, lots of laughter, our dog who loved them, the pool, and all the ups and downs of life. Your Dad once mowed our lawn when we were on one of our long trips without being asked. He was a wonderful gentleman. I remember their laughter the time Gerry tied a helium balloon on the clothesline for your Mom to see from her kitchen window early in the morning of her birthday. Our memories are too numerous to list. They will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We miss them. I am sure they are smiling down on us and in peace while in God's hands. Love and hugs, Nancy and Gerry

Dear Patty and family, The Paul Mulvihill family of Mind Hill Road wish to extend our heartfelt sadness at the passing of your father. Patty, I remember June and I playing at your house in those very early 1950's and how nice your parents were. We stopped by their house right after your Mom passed. Your Dad was out in the yard - as I usually remember him and received us so kindly. He was a true gentleman and a good father. He was always so proud of you and happily talked to us about your life since Mine Hill Road. June passed in 2006 of cancer. She met your Dad in heaven, I'm sure! God bless, Terry
