Always in our hearts and prayers Grandpa.
Haven’t seen your dad in many years. Hope that his last years were calm. He was best man for my dad, Francis Gerald Barry and first cousin. Back in the day they both worked for First National. My dad died in 1986, my mom in 2002. I remembering visiting your home in Dorchester and you guys. Just a blur. Surprised to see Marguerite in obit., how is she? Any emails or tel. numbers, please send along. I remember Joe as a good man.
Dear Helen, John and Daniel,
Please accept my sincerest sympathy on the passing of your father. He was my godfather in 1940 and he faithfully remembered me through out my growing up years and beyond. I know of no other godfather like him.
Marguerite and Dave were my confirmation sponsors so my memories of my childhood are tied to your family. I believe that the last time I saw your Dad was at my wedding 50 years ago. I pray God has blessed you and your family all the years since.
