Sorry to hear of your loss. I remember your father quite well. Going into Dorneyville Pharmacy and seeing your dad is a memory I truly have of my Allentown days. He is watching over you now.

Aunt Marietta and family...Over the years we have lost contact and become so distant amongst our family even though we live so close to each other....I am deeply sorry for your sudden and severe loss. I still remember to this day the Xmas reunions that used to be held at your house and the great times that we all had and I am truly thankful for those wonderful memories that your family provided me.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Ken Dittrich III

Marty and Family, so sorry about your loss. He will be greatly missed especially every Thursday for me, he had such a great sense of humor that I enjoyed and every once and a while I would make him laugh too. He was always in a great mood, I'm sure in part because he had a great woman and family beside him all his life.
Love always Steve Pausinger
