Buddy was like an older brother who was the leader of our “gang” when we all lived on Locust Street in Lancaster a lifetime ago. His mom was my dad’s twin sister. Our families were close then and remain so today. Buddy got me my first real job, He helped me develop my body through weigtlifting, We camped together, hunted together, and had many happy adventures when we were kids just hiking around the county or picking up bottles for the deposits. Buddy could fix just about any machine and could always be counted on rain, sleet or hail to help pull you out of the snow or get your car started on a cold day. I will miss my older brother as I now take the mantle of the the senior member of our extended family; My condolences to Janice, Cindy, Kristy, Steve and their families. Please know that I am available should they need a shoulder or ear in the future.

It made you feel good to be around him……Janice, Cindy, Steve and Cristy, cherish your memories. God bless you and give you peace of mind and spirit in this sad time.
