Not sure what to say?

Ours sincere sympathies to the Berkheimer family. I was very sad that we could not attend the memorial service as I was involved in the program for the 150th anniversary of my hometown church. He was a fellow Kiwanian in Upper Allen, and we were the beneficiaries of his wise counsel. A remarkable legacy of community service. You are in our prayers. Rosanne and Jerry Fritz

Mechanicsburg is going to miss this great man. His work with the Historic Union Church was so appreciated and the proprietors are so grateful for his leadership. We are so sorry for your loss.

To Pat and family,

I first met Foster way back in the early 70's. He would service the heat pump at the apartment i lived in on West Valley Street, Mechanicsburg. I built my first house in Lisburn in 1978 and hired him to install the heat pump in my home.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of Foster and remember him from his work on the board of the Simpson Library. And, most especially from his recounting to us of the work done by the "Wilcox Boys" of the Mechanicsburg High School machine shop during the WWII war years and especially of their teacher Raymond DeWalt. Grateful that he took the time to share this town and personal history with us.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family, I recall our many hours travelling together

We are so sorry for your loss. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
