This news breaks my heart. So many times I was in New Tripoli, always in a rush, told myself, next time I'll visit. I'll never get that next time and I have to live with that regret. You were always so good to me. I'll always remember your mother as well! Thank you, for some great childhood memories, teaching me PA dutch, and introducing me to the legends of country music! We will forever share the same birthday! Rest in peace, Charlie
