To the entire Conneely family….Mrs.Conneely, Tommy, Barbara Jean, Maureen, John, Donny, Jennifer and Aiden……What can I say?…What a great loss of a wonderful person who truly loved you all….I have very fond memories of “Pugs”. His personality, laugh and his ever smiling face, I wll never forget…The last ime I saw him was when your Mom moved and I was truly shocked and deeply saddened to hear the news tonight…I did not know. My dad called me at work and he and my mother also send their deepest condolences…They both liked him a lot…My thoughts and prayers are with you all…Hold onto the memories…He was an incredible person who I am sure will be missed by all….Jeannie McDonald
Barbara Jean , Tommy and the entire family…I just found out tonight at work and I am so sorry for your loss…Pugs was a great guy and as I think of him right now I only have happy memories of him…Always with that great Irish smile of his and that wonderful laugh!…Many great memories of a lot of great times!…like the time he tried to fit that gigantic christmas tree that he had cut down himself and tried to fit in the living room!…It was the largest christmas tree I had ever seen….It took up most of the living room!..I thought Mary Joe was going to kill him!….Hold onto those wonderful times…Our thoughts are with you all….Jeannie McDonald
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

My heartfelt condolences. When I think of “Pugsly”, I always remember him [while growing up on Curve Street] as this Big Warm-hearted behemoth of a man who always had a smile for me and kindness in his heart. He will always be remembered as the Gentle-Giant. My thoughts and my prayers be with you all…Sincerely, James [Jimmy] Polvinen.
Dear Barbara Jean and Family,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Although I never met Pugs, I felt like I did from all of your stories. He was very loved.
Linda
Dear Conneely Family,
I am so sorry for your loss.
I grew up right across the street from all of you.
although,I have not seen Pugs in a very long time, I was very saddened to hear about his passing.I can remember how much fun we had,how caring and funny he was.He was a genuine person and well liked. we lost touch over the years I sure wish I could have seen him again.He will be in my heart,thoughts,and prayers.thank you so much for this picture of him in the guest book. i will always remember him. my condolence to all of his family.
Sincerly, Paulette Mcdermott. (Polvinen)
My heart aches for the loss of such a “wonderful” friend…His smile and big hugs everytime you saw him and that infectious laugh I will never forget. Pugs and I had just had a great conversation before he passed and we laughed and shared memories of times gone by, and what times they were… Anytime he was around you knew he was watching out for you out of the corner of his eye, he was a big brother, a great friend and a wonderful human being and people like pugs don’t always come through your life and I have been truly blessed to have known him and will miss him always…
