He would make his Irish soda bread and cook big pots of corn beef for everyone. He would play his guitar, sing his Irish songs and loved to decorate the house for all the holidays. He was one of a kind, there will never be another one like him. Visitation will be held on Wednesday September 7th from 4:00 to 8:00pm at the Migliaccio Funeral Home, 851 Kennedy Blvd, Bayonne.
