A few tears marked Pete Kearney’s face as he walked away from a vigil late Saturday near the fire station next to Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Kearney, 47 and the father of two teenagers and a 22-year-old, said he had read out loud the names of every victim of the school massacre to his 17-year-old son earlier Saturday to take in the loss to the community.
“It just felt never-ending … overpowering, overwhelming,” said Kearney, a golf course greenkeeper whose children live with him in Newtown. “It felt real before that, but then, you know, you see the ages and the names … it’s just incredible, so sad. I don’t think I have the words.”
