To PJ’s family, So sorry to hear of his passing. He shoveled my deck and sidewalk in the winter and mowed my back yard. He was a hard worker and a good family man. Always stopping by to see if I needed help. God be with his family during this difficult time. Keeping them in my thoughts and prayers.

I work at the Goodwill in Willard, and PJ and his family would come in often. They were always so kind and lovely, and I always looked forward to seeing them! PJ was always so bright and friendly. He will be deeply missed.

Preston was a customer at an old job of mine and I remember him for his kind demeanor and his willingness to help any and everyone he could. He always spoke so highly of his fiancé and was heads over heals in love with his daughter, he would share stories with us each time he stopped in. I pray for the peace of his family and friends. Rest in Peace PJ
