I just learned of your Dad's passing yesterday. I knew your Dad for the 13 years I lived at Old Forge Crossing and also was an alumna of Penn State University. I came to many of the tailgate parties for the fall football games, and he was always ready with a stand-up routine of jokes!!! He was too funny! Your Dad had a wonderful sense of humor and a real zest for life! I'm glad I had the opportunity to know him.
