Dad, I love you very much and will miss you, with all my heart. You left so suddenly and I didn’t get a chance to say ‘goodbye’. I will miss you with all my heart.
Dear O’Brien Family: Our deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your father. He was the first neighbor to welcome us to ‘Beverly Heights’. My husband really enjoying talking to Jerry in the summer months. He will be sorely missed.
Go with love and peace, Obie. You will be sadly missed
I have very fond memories of Jerry and Delores. I was Jerry’s supervisor and friend at Xerox for several years and my wife and I babysat the two youngest children on more than one occasion in the early ’70’s. I always remember that Jerry called Delores ‘Delicious’. We had good times together outside of work, too. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you while I am working in Washington, DC and will not be able to attend services in person. John (& ex-wife Bonnie).
I met Mr. Gerald O’Brien Sr. only once, but his hospitality, humour, and kindness i will never forget. Condolences to the family.
My deepest Condolensces to Shawn and Lori, and the entire O’Brien Family, (although we have not met). The loss of my own father was the most difficult time in my life – but with the love of family and passing of time, the ache of your great loss will lessen and those wonderful memories will come back again, and again, to keep you company in his absence. Your Friend Sandy Fazio
