    My grandfather was the most fun and amazing person, I remember so much when I was younger living with him, watching western shows and sneaking candy, he knew me and Shawn got into it but let it slide, I wish I had more time to know him as an adult but will always cherish the memories he gave me growing up. I love you grandpa. -Mari turner-

    I managed the Volunteer Department at UPMC Altoona and Tom (and Wilma) Morning were two of the kindest people I had the pleasure of working with. My sincerest sympathies to their family. Debbie McClellan
