I consider myself blessed to have the honor of being his niece. I am also grateful to have been able to visit with him in recent weeks when I was up north. Now the the Red Sox have a heavenly voice to cheer them on! Like I told my uncle, he added to my happy memories of childhood and I will never forget him. Love to my cousins and their families.
Teddy, Jimmy and Billy your Dad was a true American Hero and a wonderful guy who adored your mom and gave me & T.C. many tremendous memories of our Friday nights together! He will be missed and remembered fondly! Rest in Peace, PA MEL . . . We loved you!
