sad...
I am very sad to learn of Mr. McCarter's passing. It makes me think of last year and the joy I know he felt being saluted in the Coatesville Veteran's Parade. It seemed to bring so much joy to him, I am so glad he had that experience. That makes me smile.
Thinking of all the children and grandchildren during this sad time.
Thank You
Thank you for your kind thoughts and words. Daddy did so love being in the parade and sharing his service with everyone. Love, Karen

I'm so very sorry to hear of Brownie's passing. I know he will be sorely missed by everyone. I only worked with him briefly and it was quite a long time ago, but he always impressed me as such a good guy and I really enjoyed the time I spent with him. I hope he is at peace, and I will have you all in my prayers.

Uncle Brownie
He had a long, productive life and I have many memories of him and the family over the years. Growing up, my parents and I made many week-end visits to Uncle Brownie, Aunt Dot and the kids - I guess we did the traveling because there was only one child in our family and six children in yours. As we got older, we saw each other less but that does not mean you all were not in our hearts. May the support you receive from family and friends help lift the burden of grief and leave only fond memories.
Uncle Brownie
Debbie,
So sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of softball games at Scott High and the wonderful family get togethers we had over all the years. Although we didn't get to visit frequenty, we always looked forward to the opportunity to do so. He is another loss to the Greatest Generation. Bless you all.
