I will always remember touring the WTAE studio with Mr. McGrath and learing that my letter to Santa on Paul Shannon's rocket was never going to reach the North Pole!!! Your parents were like having a second family as your next door neighbor. I drive by the old house often and remember all the great times we had growing up together. Our prayers are with all of you. Emmett, Kathleen, Brennen and Blaise Larkin (Rodgers)
You are in our prayers. Emmett, Kathleen, Brenne and Blaise

Eric and Family,
We are so sorry to hear about Charlie, he was such a wonderful and funny man. His smile was contagious. He loved life and it showed through the photo's he took. It was an honor to know him and we will miss him dearly.
