Paul, and the entire Maguire clan…..I am so very sorry for your loss. Your family is a testament to how great your Dad was. Remember, those we love are never truly gone as they live in our hearts forever.
Hahahaha, I just had a remembrance of your Dad. I was with Chuck over at your house with a bunch of Steven’s friends, Steven was cooking on the grill for all the kids (having probably emptied out your fridge), your Dad came home, I guess to get rid of all the kids, he got out and on his riding lawn mower (I think it was a riding lawn mower) and mowed right thru the crowd! He was a very funny character! Hope that puts a smile on your face as it did on mine!
You are all in my thoughts and prayers during these difficult days.
