Terry so sorry to hear about Uncle Sonny.  He was truly a gem.  So easy to get along with.  I am sorry I couldn’t make the funeral, I was on vacation from June 24 to July 1.  Please keep in touch with your family in Pine Grove.  Condolences to all the kids and their families as well.
 
With love and affection;
 
Your niece,  Becky Lesh and family

Dear Terry and family,
We were shocked and saddened to learn of Ralph’s passing.  We worked with Ralph at Science Press.  He used to sometimes pick us up for work when our car was in the garage.  We always liked working with Ralph and we have so many memories of that time. We have pictures from his retirement party and used to exchange Christmas cards with him for a while.  We hope the many wonderful memories you shared with him will help to comfort you at this difficult time. We will never forget “Ralphie” and those Science Press years. Blessings and deepest condolences to you all.  Pat & Deb Busser
