Our Dad loved spending time with his family but he especially enjoyed snow-birding in Florida with his wife.  Nothing brought him more joy than sharing the plan of salvation and how much Jesus loves them with anyone Dad had the opportunity to meet. While we will certainly miss having our Dad and Pappy, we take great comfort in knowing he is in heaven rejoicing with his Savior. He has been reunited with the love of his life, Jane and his precious daughter, Taunya along with so many others that he was able to share his faith and testimony with. He is now healed and renewed.

A technical and graceful skier, she raced in the Moonlight Race League on the Little Valley Team which was always back and forth in the first place spot. In the off-season, she loved riding her Harley.

Leslie’s earliest claim to fame came in the mid-70s, as the girl on the box of Johnny Bench Batter Up. She was an avid equestrian and spent three happy weeks every summer at the Allegheny Riding Camp. She played classical guitar and cello. Leslie attended the East Allegheny school system K-11, and graduated from Wilson Christian Academy in 1982. After graduating from high school, she attended Gordon College on the North Shore of Massachusetts from 1982-1984.
