love you dad..
Sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. We lived next door to your mom and dad on Amherst St in Lawrence. We have many fond memories of our fathers hanging out and laughing over the back fence.
We are sorry to hear of your loss. God bless your family
Met Tommy when ,in April 1956, went with John Murphy, Okie, Bill Mahoney, to Tom and Marys’ on Mission Hill, Boston, to convince them to move to Lawrence. Rest is history. We were like one big family, including Ringo and Dottie. Miss all of you Kippers.
Please accept my deepest sympathies. So many memories made at 45 & 48 Amherst St. I do not. Know who was in trouble more your Dad or mine with their shenanigans. Every time I see binoculars i smile because I remember the laughs we all had about his “Lucy Peepers” We made so many good memories back in the day. I am sure he is up in heaven having a few Buds with his pal’s that went first. I hope you are all doing well during this difficult time.
Debbie we are sorry to hear your father passed away We met him a few times and he was a lovely man.
May he rest in Peace
