  1. Paddy, Terry, and Casey It was an honor to talk to the three of you this afternoon at your dad’s service. Kelly, Molly, and Kerry You were all surrounded by family and friends and I did not want to interrupt, but it was good to see you all. Your Mom and Dad have been like lightning bolts in my life ever since Karen and I moved out to Crestview where we met ‘The McDonalds’ in 1980. While it could be a long time, even years, in between our seeing each other, whenever we did, they brightened my day greatly. There was always a big hug from Dorty, a warm handshake from Pakcy and two shining smiles that would melt your heart. They always made me feel wonderful. I could not help but think what a blessed man Packy was as I watched the procession of all of you, your spouses, and that group of beautiful grandchildren. May God be with you all. Enjoy those good memories. Gary Reed

  2. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We loved visiting and getting to know both Packy and Dorty over the past 4 years. They will be missed greatly. David and Kelley McCall

  3. So sorry to learn of this sad news. I recently saw Packy after mass (May 24th) @ Magdalen. After seeing him in the gathering area, I told my wife he seems sad – he misses Dorty. Well no doubt he is smiling big now with Dorty and dancing to some fine IRISH music!!!! Both Dorty & Packy are missed by so many, as they were two of the finest (FUN TOO) people you could ever know. God Blessed many of us with them & their wonderful family.

  4. I am so sorry to hear of Packy’s death, but sure he is now seeing Dorty’s smiling Irish eyes again! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Mary Patton and family
