My deepest condolences to the Sharkey family. My mom has told me great memories of her relationship with the Sharkeys including being in their wedding party when she was only 13 years old. She said she’d never forget how she was treated so well and felt so included despite being so young. Prayers for such a devoted man and his family. Our family, the Connors, are from Fairymount, Tibohine, County Roscommon as well.

To The Sharkey's; I want to thank you and I am so grateful for being a part of your father’s funeral. A mutual friend told me about this and I am glad I attended. What an absolutely perfect send-off to a great Father, Grandfather and Great-grandfather. I met him one time and regret not getting to know him better.He came to the New World, not overwhelmed by the excesses of the New World, still firmly rooted into the Old World. A man who raised you four with respect and dignity, always embracing the importance of love and family. What I saw were 4 generations of love and respect for this man. I was so honored to be there, to hear the familial stories and to see the outpouring of love from your family and your friends. One last item to address. So overwhelmed seeing the police escort!! Closing down rte 280 showed the respect the whole County had for him. Wow!! Rich DiBello

Alfie was a wonderful person. As the obituary states- he was a true Irish gentleman . He always had a smile & a kind word for everyone. I have lots of fond memories of seeing him& Helena at Irish dances over the years, both in NJ & in Ireland. He & Helena were friends of my Aunt & Uncle & my parents. May Alfie Rest in Peace in God’s arms & May God bring Helena & family peace & comfort .

I just got the news down here in North Carolina. I wish to express sincere condolences to the Sharkey family on the passing of Alfie. I have so many memories of him at the West Orange Parade through so many years and I still recollect delivering the Newark Star Ledger to his house on Moore Terrace when my family had that paper route for a number of years. I always liked him and he will be missed. Godspeed. regards from Gerard F. Keogh...

My grandfather was the kindest man you’d ever meet. He emigrated from Ireland with nothing and built the foundation to what our family is today. I’ll always remember those summer days where he’d pick me up from camp and I would spend afternoons at his house. He was a true Irish Gentleman. Instilling the values of hard work, discipline, and compassion in all of us from a young age. I would not be the man I am today without him. I love you so much Grandpa.

Uncle Alfie was one of the nicest human beings I have ever met. Loved talking to him about sports ( especially baseball ) life, family and finance. His journey was a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and a kind heart.Loved him and will miss him ! Your journey is a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and a kind heart.

Alphie Sharkey between his two brothers Martin and Tom outside their thatched roof home in Roscommon . As his nephew, I remember my uncle always engaged with everone. He had a warm smile that you knew was sincere. He left his mark in the world.

Condolences to the Sharkey family I saw a tribute to your late Alfie on the Roscommon Herald. I knew to see him at Gaelic Park, back in the day. Weren't we lucky to have Roscommon people for parents?
