Hey Paddy Boy…19 years gone by now and missing you everyday. Didn’t end up using that hunting license this past year but I did give it some thought. Still so hard to think of hitting the woods without you. 17 years smoke free now. The weather is usually cooling down by now but not this season. Thanks for the constant signs Paddy. Love and miss you.

18 years tomorrow since you were taken from us Paddy. Thanks for the continued signs….I actually purchased a hunting license for the upcoming fall….not sure if I’ll use it but it’s a start. It’s just starting to feel like fall, at least in morning and evening. Missing you every day Paddy. If I do hit the woods this fall I’m expecting some help from you. Love ya.

Hey Paddy,
Another year passed by…17 years tomorrow since you were taken from us and I can still hear our last conversation in my head. I really wish we had the opportunity to go on all the hunts we talked about. Can you believe the shape I’ve let myself get to….yes I’m sure your looking down and laughing at me. If I actually make it into the woods this fall I’ll be expecting a little help from you. I miss ya Paddy boy.

Paddy...16 years tomorrow...can it be that long ago...September was always such a great month for us as the weather got cooler and the hunting seasons approached. The ducks and geese are flying low and to just hear them I know its you. Am getting a bit more pressure to hunt again but still not sure how I feel about that without you. I remain smoke free and doubt that will ever change again. I still laugh to myself thinking of all the times we had quit and as soon as we hit the road for a hunting trip...there we were smoking again. Miss you buddy and as always, thanks for the signs. Gone but never forgotten Paddy. Love you.

15 years ago tomorrow....15 years....I can’t believe that much time has gone by since that day. It doesn’t get any easier, especially when Sept. approaches. The temperature change and the hunting seasons starting was always our favorite time. I miss you terribly buddy . Thanks for continually sending me signs. 14 years smoke free for me now...I know you probably can’t believe that but it’s true. Still haven’t hit the woods without you but people are trying to get me out there. Maybe someday. Love and miss you Paddy.

Was in New York with officers from Peel Regional Police (Canada) for the 9-11 Memorial Parade in 2004, staying at the Park Central Hotel. NYPD had arranged for a bus to take us to Battery Park for the march...it was on the morning of the 11th that we heard of the deaths of Detectives Parker and Rafferty. Every September 11th I always take a moment to remember these two officers...

14 years now Paddy. Every year as your date nears and the weather starts changing I wonder how many great hunting trips we would have enjoyed. The first cold crisp mornings of Sept. were always time for us to start getting ready for upcoming hunts. I may actually get out in the woods again this year. Love and miss you Paddy Boy.

Hey Paddy, 13 years now since you were taken from us. The years seem to be going by faster and faster as the kids have become teens and young adults. Your God son is getting married in two months!! I'm 11 years smoke free today and I know I have you to thank for getting me through that last run on the track!!! Thanks for all the signs my friend. I love and miss you Paddy.

Hey Paddy, well it's 12 years ago tomorrow,12 years, I can't believe it's been so long. I know you'll find it hard to believe but I am 10 years smoke free!! I think of all the times we "quit" only to start again the next time we saw each other,especially headed to Maine for a hunt and barely getting in to Conn. and we had to stop and grab some smokes. Where was our will power? I would give anything to be on one those hunts again or out fishing on the mako with you and Eileen. Love and miss you Paddy & keep the signs coming.
