Liam will be missed by all that knew him. He had a great sense of humor and thought positive about everything, even at his most difficult moments. I will never forget him stopping me to show me his goofy dance moves when I would see him out with his friends, or the conversations that we had about loud music that we heard from each others apartments while neighbors. My prayers go out to all of Liam’s family and friends. Rest in peace Liam you will forever be remembered!
Laurie and Dan Bersanti says
Ralph, Eileen, Dorcas and Liam’s family,
Dan and I were saddened to hear of Liam’s passing. While we did not know him but for a few family events, his strength and courage in his long illness came through in all of his family and friends who spoke of him during his illness. Seems no way to understand the order in which we all live but I am sure Curtis will welcome him in and keep him busy when he gets there……
Our thoughts are with everyone tonight, tomorrow and the days to come.
Dan, Laurie, Kira and Ben Bersanti
