Doris and family;
I am so sorry for your loss, hopefully the wonderful memories of your brother will comfort you during this time and beyond. Keeping you in my thoughts.
I am sorry to hear of the loss of your brother and my cousin. I hope those close around you provide comfort through the days ahead.My prayers are with you all.
Marty Maher, just heard that Pat had passed away. Very sorry to have heard that. I hadn’t been online in about 2 weeks as I was in process of writing Christmas cards. As I recall, both Danny & Pat had been in Navy. One story I heard was that Danny had been beaten up when his ship was in Boston. When Pat’s ship came into port he went looking for the guys that had beaten his brother up & gotten even. Don’t know how true that story is but that’s what I heard years ago. CC, I’m very sorry for your loss. May Pat Rest in Peace.
Just received this sad news from Marty about cousin Pat. I grew up on Cape Cod and my dad Fred had to go to Boston, hire an attorney to represent the brothers. Back in 1966 Pat came to visit one weekend and proceeded to sink our hydroplane boat with my dads engine. He was mischievous but fun loving from all my memories. We lost track of each other over the yrs. The last time we saw each other was when Aunt Lou passed. My family sends its prayers and thoughts with you at this time.
I am so sorry for your loss. May all your memories help comfort you through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
