Joseph Richard, Terrence James, and Richard Sean.Raising three sons in the 1970's Bronx was no small feat.
Peg made sure the "boys" spent as little time on the "corner" and focused more on school and sports.
Job well done Mom! All this, while her husband pursued his career at IBM and earned a college degree at night from Iona College in New Rochelle, NY.
If this wasn't enough, Peggy also managed to join the workforce landing a job atManhattan College in the Bronx, NY.
For years Peggy was a valued member of the school's registrar's office,guiding many students through the intricacies of college life.
The family eventually moved to Dobbs Ferry, NY for a few short years.Although a lifelong true-blue New Yorker, in 1978 as Joe continued advancing his career at
IBM,Peggy and Joe transferred to Marietta, Georgia with two of their three sons.

February 15 2018Hi Ed, I got the shock of my life at lunch today when a visiting priest from Long Island
told me that my classmate from 1953, Hugh Cannon, died last October 23, 2017. I am sending you an obituary that I just downloaded for you to create a link.
We would get together for lunch or myself for a stayover at his rectory from time to time. And a woman from across the street on 109th Street
lives in the parish where he died and never notified me.Hugh’s Obituary
Another Obit from the diocese of Rockville Center, Long Island.Thank you Father John Martin [email protected]
