To the Massoth families,

Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children & the younger generation. For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life. Albert Einstein

With heartfelt sympathy,

I worked with Mr. Massoth in the early 1980's at General Services, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; he was a great mentor.

I worked in the same building as Ed. at the PA State. I once made him a cherry wood SHAKER three (3) legged round top stand. He was a fine man, very genteel, outgoing and respected highly by all who knew him..
