Bridget – I have so many fond memories of you Dad.  As a wonderful neighbor and friend of my parents.  All the evening cocktails they shared on our side porch or yours.  They really enjoyed the friendship that developed with Kitty and Ed.  He was our “go-to” guy when there was a bat or bunny in the house (!) and of course, all plumbing issues!  I also remember him cheering for you and your basketball team up in the bleachers… he wasn’t “quiet”!  After your Mom passed away, my parents became friendly with Mary, too.  Your Dad was kind, a devoted husband, father and grandfather.  I enjoyed his stories, the twinkle in his eye, and appreciate how he loved you all so much.  I  know he is in a better place – united with your Mom.  Peace and love to you all as you get through this difficult time together.  Always remember he is part of you and remains with you in spirit.  Fondly, Susan Ketchum

To my dear old friend Bridget.  How time  flies. When I saw ur dad’s obit I was so sad  for u but then I remembered how close u were n some how that helped . U had a relationship with ur dad i always admired n wished I had with my own dad. The memory i most of him was he in the back of a new station wagon ( like a family of one child needed lol) in the way way back he bought us McDonald’s which was great treat, n if I remember right you spilt ur drink.😰 Uh oh or maybe it was me but he got so mad .😵 Don’t know why that sticks in my mind but then I think who let’s two little girls eat in a new car lol. Think I blocked time nanny baby sat us n we went sent a live size doll down banister . Sure he was mad then too lol. We kept him on his toes when I visited. Any way I’m sorry for ur loss. Loss both my parents awhile ago n know it’s a hard thing to go through. All my love n prayers r with u. Mary Kay
