Ny deepest sadness that my uncle Dusch has passed away.  He was a really great guy who I had to keep my eyes on because of the prankster he was.  I miss all of the fun times I had with him and Dolly.   They were the perfect couple.  I will miss you both for the rest of my life.  David Grove II

We are so sorry to see of Charlie’s passing. We met Charlie at legends where my Mom is living. He always had a smile on his face and so sweet. We always enjoyed seeing him but of course it’s been almost a year. I have a wonderful picture of Charlie and my Mom (Helen Butzer) last Christmas. My Dad also worked and retired at Armstrong. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Linda,
I was so sorry to see that your Dad had passed away. The only joy is that he is reunited with your Mom! I can just imagine what they are talking about right now…. I can not attend the service, but wanted you to know that I will be thinking about you and praying for you and your family. God’s Blessings to you and yours!  Kathy Swisher (worked with your Mom at Dauphin Deposit)
