We are so sorry for the loss of Don. He was the best neighbor anyone could ask for. We are so sorry we were unable to attend the funeral and may God bless the family in these times of great sorrow.

Very much miss Ron, our kind McDonalds morning coffee buddy and I will ever cherish his wonderful stories; Him walking across the bridge as a kid in the snow to deliver a newspaper to the professor at Kiski School, or cleaning snow from the apartment rooftop relay antennas in Mt. Lebanon so as to keep the air traffic control at Allegheny County Airport working and going on road trips to maintain the microwave links between Pittsburgh Airport and Cleveland Air Traffic Control Center in Oberlin. He often spoke fondly of his family and deeply missed his Marian. May my friend Ron and his family be at peace, until we can share a table again..... And this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.
