To the Fallon family,

I recently heard of the passing of Mr. Fallon. My mom was talking with Mrs. Forstrom who shared the sad news.

It was a long time ago but my memories of Mr. Fallon and Woodbine Rd. remain clear and bright. There wasn't a better street in Levittown to grow up on and Mr. Fallon had a lot to do with that!

He was a wonderful neighbor always ready with a smile and a hello to all the little kids who wandered along Woodbine Rd. looking for fun and mischief. Mr. Fallon often lent his good humor and kindness to me and others as our play and mischief sometimes required minor adult intervention!

To the Fallons I knew, Mrs. Fallon, Joe, Irene, Lori, Elaine, and those I didn't, Joan and Patrick, I am sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,
Tish Molloy Eschbacher

Dear Mrs. Fallon, Joe, Irene, Lori, Sisters, Brother and families:

Please accept my condolences for the passing of Mr. Fallon and Jimmy.

I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to have grown up in the Whitewood neighborhood amoung wonderful friends and families like the Fallon family.

There was always the feel of family amoung the neighbors of Woodbine.

Be assured of my prayers.
