Field of Dreams:
It was the mid 1970's and my Dad's softball team, the" Cavaliers", were playing in the greater Olney softball leauge championship. We were playing the dreaded Colonials. They were our arch rival and always had the better team.
This time thing were going to be different. I was the bat boy and the water boy. We had battled them to the point where we were ahead in the last inning of the deciding game.
With two outs and I believe one guy on base; the batter...

On behalf of my entire family I would like to thank all of those who attended the viewing and funeral mass for my father. We really appreciate all of thoughts and prayers that were extended to the family over the past few days.

Mr. "V"-My family and I always enjoyed being in your company. We will miss your humor and the warmth you brought into a room every time we were with you. Our lives are so much richer for having known you.

Coke was a one of a kind- he would be talking to a customer on the phone, giving out payroll checks, assigning his guys jobs to go to for the next week, telling stories or jokes to anyone in earshot range and still be playing cards at the weekly game in the office all at the same time! He was multi-tasking long before they coined the phrase. I can't say how many people I have meet over the years who have told me about how Coke helped them out with a personel problem just because that was what...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

My dearest Uncle,
You were a loving husband and a devoted father and that I can attest for. Now its time for you to sleep, no more pain and suffering. The family that you leave behind here on earth will have the strength to pull thru and go on because God tells us to do so. Please give my dad and brother a hug for me and let them know that they are missed. Love Valerie
