Gary W Moosey wrote a sympathy message

“Jennifer and Melissa, my name is Gary Moosey. Although we have never met, your father and I were the best of friends in the early 1960's when we were in Seminary together. Phil and I were teammates on the basketball team and traveled to many places in the northeast and mid-west for our games. I had great admiration and respect for him and valued his friendship during those days. I send you my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your Dad. Sincerely, Gary Moosey ([email protected]).”
