Mrs. Guilfoy, Jamie, Molly, John, Ronnie & family,
You are all in my thoughts & prayers! Although I haven’t seen Mr. Guilfoy in years, I will always remember his contagious smile and how he always made everyone feel welcome. It’s evident he passed these traits down to his sons as well. God Bless Your Family!
I remember when John and I were in Cub Scouts and later Boy Scouts together.
John, Bebe and The Guilfoy family took my wife (Irma) and myself in as family back in 1969! We enjoyed many good times together as family. We watched Johnny & Jamie grow into the respectful and respected gentlemen they grew up to be. With much sympathy and love, we offer the Guilfoy Family our sincerest condolences in the passing of a great MAN!

The time when John was 11 years old and I helped my Uncle John build a Soap Box Derby car for him . It was built outside and John and I painted it with left over light blue house paint . We used a roller and he was very proud of the car . But the next day I guess we built it too close to the sand pile and it became a little gritty . HA ! HA ! But no matter John had fun in it just the same .
HERE’S TO A GOOD FAMILY MAN FROM A GREAT FAMILY I HAVE KNOWN SINCE 1956. LOTS OF FOND MEMORIES FROM BRIGHTWOOD AND SCHOOL AT ST. FRANCIS,BROOKSIDE PARK ,BOWLING,GOLFING,HAVING A GOOD TIME. ALL AROUND GREAT PERSON . MAY HE REST IN PEACE.
