My condolenes
To a former boss at Keystone Wood Specialties, who I've learned to admire, his love for all things aviation, and his strict sense of order. I really enjoyed our chats about what kind of aircraft was better, heavier than air or lighter than air, and also our love of diecast collectible model airplanes, and aviation in general. He will be missed!!

I am glad I was able to visit him during my last trip to PA . He was in the nursing home in Christiana. He did remember me and we had a short conversation. Visited Nancy at the same time.
