As Don Lochman's daughter, I remember Mr. Saalbach from the many holidays and vacation days I spent at 509 Collingdale Ave. I always enjoyed his humor and kindness, and many interesting conversations with him. He was a lovely person.

I am saddened by the death of Mr. Saalbach. He was a humble man filled with an enormous amount of wisdom. I always enjoyed spending time with him. He ministered to me in so many ways while at FGBC. I'll never forget when he drove me to Lancaster Bible College for the first time or the many times we went out to breakfast. I am going to miss him so very much. What a great example of being like Jesus! I will be praying for his family.

To Butch and Linda- So sorry for your loss. I received a note on a card from "Bud" a couple of weeks ago saying, how he remembered Christmas Eve lunches at the Lochman's. I send a genuine tribute to a life well lived.
