I was so saddened to hear of
I was so saddened to hear of Eggy's passing. I was fortunate to get to know Eggy in the last 3 years as one of my client's at Adult Care of Chester County. He was such a sweet, kind, gentle man. I will miss seeing and talking with Eggy and hearing his wonderful stories of his time growing up on a farm. I know he is home now with his parents and siblings whom he talked about with so much love.
