With deep appreciation, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to the firefighters; the Red Cross; the Butler Township Police; the many family, friends, neighbors and to everyone else that I may have missed, who offered their assistance during this trying time.

On the afternoon of Sunday, March 11, a fire destroyed my home of 53 years. My plans are to rebuild and return to this great neighborhood as soon as possible.

The kindness of strangers as well as family and friends has been overwhelming and truly humbling. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
