My sympathy Tom on the passing of your brother who I am sure was a large presence in your life. Ernie commented on seeing him at his last class reunion. What memories that brought. Wyomissing would be less in so many ways without the Heck family. Joy for his life and sorrow on his leaving. Sincerely, Chris (Reuther) Matthews
