It was very sad to here of Babe’s death. He was the type of friend that was easy to admire and look up too. He and Maryann were our teenage idles. May he Rest in Peace.
Stanley, was such a wonderful guy. I unfortunately only got to meet the man once, while in town for a few baseball games with Connor. While I was there though, he treated me as if I was family. You will be missed. My deepest condolences go out to the family.
Steve and I will miss Stan very much. He was the nicest and most laid back guy we ever met, and not just our neighbor, but a wonderful friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We were blessed to have known him!
A very very good Friend. Will miss him.
I have very fond memories of both Mr. and
Mrs. Gaul from my softball days with their daughter, Gentine. Mr. Gaul was always THE
Sweetest, most gentle loving soul to anyone who crossed his path. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Love, “Gibby.”
Please accept my deepest sympathy. He and his family were all nice people. I’m sure he’s going to be missed by so many.
