“I wish to express a Special Thanks to the many doctors and nurses who provided such kind and expert care during my illness. The care at the Penn State Lancaster Medical Center and the Cancer Center with Dr. Brian Calabrese was very kindly administered. Wonderful. Also, thanks to Tootsie and Dave Kuntz who employed me for many years.”

“I enjoyed helping people to learn the truth about Jehovah God and his purpose for this earth and mankind. Thank you my God Jehovah for the wonderful life you gave me and for helping me as a teacher to instruct others about you.”
