A. J. Was wonderful man who I'm proud to have him in our lives. He and Marlene were such great hosts to us when we visited them when we would stop by going to State College. Our daughter Traci stayed with them for a couple days while going to IUP. They took her shopping and bought her clothes. I think our son Matt may have visited a couple days while going to Penn State. I am so grateful that we got to see him last summer. Other than his memory, he seemed to be doing well. Now he is where he wants to be with Marlene. We will always have a special place in our hearts for A. J. and Marlene. RIP.
