Dear Karin, Sammy and family,
So sorry to hear of the passing of your father, I'm Bette Morris
daughter, and former patience of your dads.
Your father was such a brilliant man and will be missed.
Sammy my Mother talked about you all the time, she always said
that you were the cat's meow, and I think she was so proud of
both you and Karin for the successful people you became.
I don't know if you're father ever told you, but I named my son
after your father his name is Erich Lee Anthony and he has named
both his sons with the middle name of Anthony in honor of your
father also.
Take care and may God bless you all.

As a member of the Lancaster Osteopathic
Hospital family, my sincere condolences. Your father was from
the old school of doctors and will always be remembered as a
warm, caring skilled practioner. My Mother, Anne Faltine, was
the operating room supervisor for many years at LOH and always
admired, respected and spoke highly of your Father. He must have
been one of the last of the old group that included Drs.
Heistand, Hillard, Rigano, Wright, and Gerlach, just to mention
a few.
Dear Karin, Sam & family,
I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I had just been to
Lebanon and saw Kitty Yocum and we were both wondering how he
was doing. At least now he is back with your mom. My thoughts
and prayers are with you.
Love,

Dear Karin and Sam,
Your father often spoke of you-he was so proud. He was a
true gentleman. He knew how to treat patients and medical
staff. He will be fondly remembered.
Sincerely,

Your father was a warm, caring individual and
I will certainly miss him! I have very fond memories of your

Dear Karen and Sam,
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. Our
thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We hope your
memories of him will help to sustain you in the days to come.
He will be missed.
In loving sympathy,
Toni Jean, Jeff and Michael Clements
I was sincerely sorry to hear about your
Father's death. I knew him very
well, both as a doctor and a friend. He lived a long and very
productive life. My father, Eugene Saylor, and "Tony" were
also good friends. I can
see them now, sitting on a beautiful whie cloud, tuning their
instruments getting ready to play with that great Heavenly
Orchestra. What a great father and grandfather he must have
been, for you've both (Sam & Karin) been very sucessful. Of
course the schools in the City of Lancaster were very good
that time too....especially Stevens and Fulton. Many of your
teachers have
retired now, but we're all doing things to help our community. .
(except
subbing). Again, please accept my deepest sympathies.
Sincerely,
Barbara Saylor - "You're 'old' Stevens School Librarian.
