Thomas Staunton, my Dad, knew and worked with Chris in Chicago and in later years, Johnny, Tom, Pat, Eddie & Gerry remember meeting Chris on the working projects, recall what a nice man he always was to meet up with any time in Chicago. Hardworking man who left people with good memories.

family on the passing of Ted RIP.
Thinking of you all at this time,
I was extremely privileged to have known and met Ted on his annual visits home to Ireland. My meetings with Ted and Betty are memorable - he was such a wonderful hearty person and a great friend to all who knew him.
A true Irish Man who never forgot his home in the West. May he rest in Peace and May God comfort Betty, Maura and all the family at this very sad time, my thoughts and prayers are with ye all.
With Love from
Ann Staunton Hoban
May he rest in peace
