Bill Tobin was a fine person. I knew him from his days at LaSalle in Phillie. He was on the track team and good friends with soon to be husband Bill Duryee who also ran track. When we had our first daughter we chose Tobin for her godfather. He came for her christening. When Bill T. Went to Vite Ñam he took a small photo of our Carin into battle. When he returned he showed me the mud stained picture and said it got him through the war. Bless him I hope he had a wonderful life. Caryl Duryee

Although maybe it was "for the best", it is still a very sad time. I'll miss talking to Uncle Bill about "Handsome John" (a.k.a Brother John Owens) who "Pete" knew from his West Catholic days & who I got to know from my many years at La Salle. I'll miss hearing Uncle Bill saying "righto", but... "righto" will live on (since it has become part of my vocabulary - ha ha). Echoing Dom's sentiments, those surely were wonderful times we shared. We all miss those days, but know we are each truly grateful to have had all of those wonderful memories.

Those Perfect Sundays.
The whole family, grandmom and grandpop's living room, sprawling on the floor, sunshine, Doritos, Grandpop urging ''rubber legs'' Maddux home, shooing Mary Ellen away from the front of the tv (seemingly the only place she liked to play), Pepsi cola, Phillies baseball and uncle ''Pete''. God I miss those days. I will miss you greatly Uncle Bill, love Dominic.
