Pam, Sharol, Darrell, Gayle, and Lori,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. I have many fond memories--camping, working at the fire company, swimming at your pool, working at Goodliffe, and deer hunting....so many good memories. I will remember him always. Joe Hersh
I met your Dad for the first time about 3 years ago. He made a big impression on me of being a fun-loving, outgoing person. I'll never forget him trying to sit on Mom Hersh's lap at her 90th birthday party. I had the pleasure of taking him home after the party. I soo enjoyed the tour he gave me of his home and the decorating projects that he and Shirley did. God bless....Sherri Hersh

Pam, Sharol, Darrell, Gayle, Lori, my condolences go out to all of you. Remembering the days of your dad transforming that bus into the LillyPad. Also, working on that Morris Minor and the MGTD for Pam. I told him he was a jack of all trades and he would respond " and master of none." Quite a guy, and a life well-lived. Greenawalds was not the same when you all left. He is in good hands now and with your mom. God bless.
