Moose was a great childhood friend. He was a year ahead of me at St. Cyril's and Central. we played baseball, basketball, football and all kinds of games at Pearl St. playground, Schlegles Park and all around the Minor, Laurel and Bingaman St. area. We walked to and from Central the years we were there together. As happens we grew far apart as adults but the few times we would run into each other he was always a kind gentle man and never failed to ask about my parents and my wife. So God speed, Moose. Rest well.
