We were sorry to learn of the death of Al Gilpin and are sorry that we were unable to attend his services to pay our respects. We will long remember his cheerful and enthusiastic greeting when we saw him at church. We never eat corned beef hash but we think of how he enjoyed it when our son made it on Boy Scout campouts. You all have our sympathy and clndolences.
