My sincerest condolences to you on the passing of your Dad. I hold fond memories of him from years ago when you lived on Main St near the bakery. He was always smiling and always so neatly attired. He did such a wonderful job of raising the two of you, you were blessed to be his daughters and he was so proud to be your Dad. May your memories bring you peace and comfort in days ahead.

Our parents knew each other - I remember your dad got me a summer job working at the garment factory in Coplay! My mother, Joan Vandegrift, always had such kind words about your dad. I am so sorry for your loss.
