Dear McCarthy family, We send our love and prayers.to comfort you all at this time. Bill was always a part of many childood memories. He always had a smile and a joke when he came down to see if he could find what he needed in ( Marge's) garage. It's no doubt he, Bob Kehl an mom and dad are having a Oeth Ct. reunion exchanging stories. It was truely a privilege to know him!

Dan and Jan - Thinking of you and want to extend our heartfelt sympathy and prayers to you and your family at this difficult time. With our Irish heritage in common, this Irish blessing seems appropriate - "May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand." Dan & Monica

Dear Eleanor, Maureen, and the entire family, especially Mo,
I remember meeting your parents at the Canfield, when Mo worked there, and again later at your home. His love of life and Irish pride were infectious. My heart is heavy for your loss.
Perhaps it is because I am also second generation born Irish in Chicago, that we were drawn to each other and our bond of friendship has been so strong. I know how close you were, a strong Irish clan, in celebration and argument, the bond of love unbreakable.
I just moved back to Dubuque, so I will be able to give you hugs in person. Busy & difficult are these days of waiting for him to be laid to rest.
Much love to you all!
Sue White
