I'm Beatrice's best friend growing up in Duquesne PA. I would always see Wayne her brother hanging out on the porch with his mom and reading thick books on his Summer breaks. He was a very kind, intelligent. and such gentle person with a kind word for everyone. My sincere condolences to his family.

I remember Mr. Warner from my days as a student at North Columbia Elementary. He was always helpful and kind to the students. He was definitely the kind of person who, as an adult, I wish I had had the chance to know him better.
