I don't remember very much about our relationship but there are a few things I hold dear. I remember taking the street car (the seats squeaked) to see the relatives in south Baltimore and the bakery with the great sugar cookies on the way to Aunt Sis's house. I remember drinking a seven up in the pub and learning to drink out of a bottle. Boy, was Mom surprised. I remember visiting Aunt Sis at her job and spending time in Aunt Ag's house. I remember you loved beans and franks for dinner and shared with me. I wish we had had a lifetime together but that wasn't meant to be. I am grateful for the memories I can cherish and I think they mean more because they are so few. You loved being a father and I am sorry you didn't get more of a chance to be one. You would have been great. Ann Noon Power Dad Ann Power Merry Christmas Pop, I don't know what else to say. I miss you, I love you, and I thank you for being a memorable father. You and Mom gave me a wonderful childhood, and though you weren't around very long you were very influential. Thanks for the wonderful memories. Ann Noon Power November 20 is your anniversary. You are still remembered. You are still missed and loved. Rest in peace. Ann Noon Power Another Father's day is here and even though I didn't have you for very long I wouldn't trade you for the world. I wish we had had all those years but it was not my fault nor yours that we didn't. It doesn't seem fair that you didn't have much of an opportunity to be a father but you were a great father in the time you did have. Happy Father's Day Pop. Ann Noon Power After all these years, and thanks to Boots's son Jay, I found out that your family came originally from Kilbride Parish in County Rroscommon, Ireland. You may have know that but I thought I would fill you in just in case. It gave me chills to finally know. Jay has been working on this for years and has gotton all kinds of valuable information. It gives us continuity and a real sense of history. Ann Power Merry Christmas Pop. It's hard to believe another year has passed so quickly. I hope it is a happy Christmas for you and Mom and all who have gone before. I miss all of you but have so many happy memories. We had a great family and still do. I am forever grateful for all my wonderful aunts and uncles and all the cousins that I shared so much fun with growing up. The new generation is wonderful too. These apples didn't fall far from the tree. Be at peace. Ann Power You are remembered today and thank you Sir for your service Pat Van Den Berghe, Manchester, NH Be at peace Pop. I miss you still, I remember you still, I love you still. Today was a sad day. You were a good father and I wish I had had more time with you. Ann Power Yesterday was Father's Day. Since you and Mom are both gone Father's Day and Mother's Day are sad days to be gotten through. I hope you are both at peace and that wherever you are, you are well and happy. I miss you and wish you had been around all those years. You didn't really get much of a chance to be a father. In four short years however, you made a real impact. I wouldn't have traded you for the world. Ann Power God Bless you Ms. Power. I came across your dad's name while looking up my son-in-law Duke G. Aaron , MD Transporation Authority Police EOW 7/20/2004. Although he was with us for a short time, we too have many fond memories of him and proud of him. Take care, Debbie Keiter, Mother In Law of Officer Duke G. Aaron III.
John Ryan died on December 23. He had Parkinson's disease but I don't know for sure if that is what caused his death. He was retired from the Baltimore City Police Department and I suspect he became a cop because of you. All the Ryans loved you and you were good to them even though you were only related by marriage. John was a good guy and a great cousin as were all the Ryans. Only 2 of the 9 are left, Camilla and Ed. Ann Power Merry Christmas Pop. I will think about you and Mom often during this season. Although it has been many years, you are both still much missed. I have so many good memories of all my childhood Christmases. They make me both sad and happy, but mostly happy. Ann Power You left us 60 years ago today. I still remember that day although I really didn't understand it. I don't know how Mom got on with things but she did. I'm sure you were proud of her. She told me so many stories about you and kept you alive for me. Now you are both gone but never forgotten as long as I'm around. Ann Power Hi Pop, I had breast cancer last year. I know that you and Mom and the family helped me get through it. I felt your presence and I thank you. I'm well now and have my life back. We're going to the Navy, Notre Dame on Saturday. I know you would love that. The Irish are pretty good this year and I know you would be going too if you were around. I love you. Ann Power Happy Father's Day Pop. I didn't have you for long but you were a great father. Through the years I heard wonderful stories about you from all the family. You were much loved. Ann Noon Power Officer Noon was my father. I was only 4 when he died and I remember the day he died very well although I didn't understand what was happening at the time. I don't remember him terribly well but I do remember that I was crazy about him and he about me. My mother often spoke of his familiarity with every shop on his beat that sold kid friendly items and of his tendency to buy 2 or 3 of everything with intention of returning the unwanted items. Frequently however they never got returned. I missed him growing up even though having a single parent seemed perfectly normal. My mom never married again and she too passed away in 1994. I was so happy to see this memorial and have a photograph of it in my family room. Thanks for keeping his memory alive. I am proud of him. Daughter, Ann Power We ask Thy blessings and eternal rest to all our brothers and sisters Ret. Officer William Hackley Rest easy. No one is forgotten. Never. Deputy M. Moore
