John, Rita and Eleanor - I was surprised, and sorry, to read about the loss of your brother in the Intelligencer this morning. I remember meeting him once when he was a child, using crutches, and again in 1987 when I made a trip to California to recoup after losing my son.

There was no way I could have included all that was great about this man in his obituary, as he was one of the most loving and nurturing individuals I have ever come to know. He will be sorely missed. He was an amazing step father and friend.
