To the Friel family,: One final mix and mud up to the best boss I ever had. Bopper taught me the value of a good days work and he was more than a boss, he was a friend. Bopper helped me when I needed it and I will always remember what a great man he was. It was truly a joy going to work in the morning with Bopper and the crew, because Bopper had a way with making a hard day of work seem like a lot of fun. I'll never forget the Bopper and all the good times we had working together with all the guys. I was very blessed to have shared time with Bopper. God Bless your family at this time and always. GOD BLESS THE BOPPER! COFFEE

Dear Aunt Norma & Family, What can I say about Uncle Jack; he was a strong, quiet man who never seemed to let anything bother him - at least not that we "kids" could see. My favorite example - My Dad - Ed and his entire family, plus Aunt Eleanor and some of her brood were traveling down to the shore to hook up with Uncle Jack and his crew. We broke down - nothing new with us. How did we get home, we all just piled into the truck and station wagon and Uncle Jack made sure we all got home! I don't remember any yelling, complaining, nothing - he just did it. One of my fondest shore memories is hanging out the back of the station wagon we'd never do that today! with my siblings and cousins - laughing, joking & singing - all the way home. I'll miss that quiet man. Rest Well Uncle Jack. Love you always,

Dear Uncle Jack, I will always remember your smile and laugh. As I look back over the years I realize that you and your wonderful family were a big part of all those memories I have. They will remain with me forever. I loved you very much and will miss you greatly.

Dear Aunt Norma and Family, You are in our prayers.We will miss Uncle Jack very much. Most of my memories of Uncle Jack were at the shore and family parties. Uncle Jack, his brothers and sisters would tell stories about growing up. But the memory that I will always cherish was when I was little and home sick with my Dad. Uncle Jack stopped to visit. He smiled and talked with me. He had a smile that was comforting and made you feel good. I will miss that the most. Love, Kathy, John, Chris and Will

Dear Poppop, I love you so much. I couldn't ask for a better grandfather. You always treated me like a daughter. It breaks my heart to know you won't be here with my family for holidays and birthdays. I will miss the weekend visits with you & Nana. I will miss all the dinners & movies. I will miss all the laughs especially yours. I will miss watching you play with my children. I will miss the loud TV. I will miss you reading the morning paper & drinking your coffee. I miss you listening to all my complaints. I miss you say "Norma" when you were upset. I will miss you sitting at the head of my table. I will miss you telling me how my cooking was. I will miss rubbing your head. I will miss seeing you fall asleep on my couch. I will miss you watching the Phillies. I will miss you putting butter on your scrapple sandwich. I will miss you hearing the opposite of what I said. I will miss you! You were always here for me for the hardest times of my life as well as the best times. I want to thank you for everything you have done for me and Lisa. I love you Poppop. Theresa

Dear Aunt Norma and Family. I am deeply saddened by the loss of Uncle Jack. My sincere thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. I have hundreds of fond memories of Uncle Jack that I will cherish forever. From showing me how to drive a boat when I was a little boy to letting me work for him during the summers, I always felt very secure and happy when I was with him. I feel truely blessed to have had him as a part of my life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If I can do anything, please let me know. Love, Billy
