So sorry to hear about Butch. I have been away from Franklin for many years but remember you both very well. You and Butch lived down the street from my Mom and Dad at the lake. My prayers for you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. You probably don't remember me, but I remember how friendly the two of you were to me when we lived downstairs from you in Wanaque. My prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Russ's passing. My first thought was of the day when we were playing outside of his house on Main St. It was being referfished and much carpentry work being done and he wanted to show us how he could jump out of the 2nd floor open window and land in a pile of junk and in doing so he broke his arm. So long ago but also good memories of school and reunions. God Bless you all.
