My condolences on Bob's passing. I worked and played softball with him at IR in Allentown years ago. We had some good times and won a few league championships with Bob as our player/coach. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

To Wilson's Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of Wilson passing. I've known Wilson for over 40 years. We lived in the same apartment building years ago, and his sister Ruthie was once my roommate. What great times we had in that building. I use to see Wilson in town some years ago and then I didn't see him anymore. It's sad how we lose touch with our friends. Your father was loved by many. R.I.P. my friend. Your Mom & Dad your Sister and Brothers are all rejoicing around you and welcoming you home.

Dear Family,
Know that Flip was loved by a lot of people. I knew Flip for 40 years & lost touch when he left Schnceksville. Working at LCP, Allison, Toones, Ritter & Smith or reffing a school b-ball game, it was always nice to run into Flip. He won't be forgotten. May you find peace in his peace. He fought the good fight!!

To the Family,
I'll always remember Flip for being such a great guy from bringing all the neighborhood kids ice cream to helping them out with their sports. Treasure all the memories keeping them close to your heart and please accept my deepest sympathies.
