 LINCOLN, R.I. (AP) - Daniel O'Neil's life was short but filled with passions: for the Beatles, the Boston Red Sox and engineering, for his family and for the friends with whom he'd play music and Frisbee.
On Tuesday, hundreds remembered the Virginia Tech shooting victim at his funeral, and spoke about his love for science and his pursuit of a graduate degree in environmental engineering. O'Neil was among the 32 people slain by gunman Seung-Hui Cho before he committed suicide.
O'Neil, 22, was a "bundle of good habits" and a "beautiful person inside and out" who mixed intelligence and enthusiasm with modesty and seriousness, the Rev. John J. Peterson told mourners at Saint Jude's Church.
