Our sorrow at the loss of our brother David is eased by our wonderful memories of him over the course of his life.  From the time of his youth when he bought a used Oldsmobile coupe with a rumble seat and would take us, a couple at a time for a ride in our New York City neighborhood; to his falling in love with his one and only, his wife Terry; to his taking and passing the New York City Transit System  Test to become a train conductor, then his promotion to train motorman, then his promotion train yard superintendent  and finally retirement; his love of his children, Barbara, Tom, and Jane; the family trips we would all take to Twin Bridges to picnic and swim;  the incredible discussions we would have about politics, governing, and every other subject of the day; his ability to tease with a straight face and the hard laughs we all had together over his shenanigans. 
We know that one would be hard pressed to search the earth and find a better man, father, and brother or son than our brother David.   May he rest in peace.
Your Sisters and Brother: Margaret Baiardi, Dorothy Layton, Eleanor Sheehan, Ruth Milos, and Eileen Sheehan, and brother, Richard C. Sheehan

Kim,
May God Bless you and your family at this time of sorrow,
Our prayers are with you.
