My dad love to fish at core Creek State Park ,there was times my brother Jeff and I went .we did a lot of fishing in pennypack by the prison off state road also and 1 time a prisoner escaped and he came under the bridge while we were fishing and he was acting weird, and when I went up to the car, there was cops everywhere and I told the cop that there was a guy under the bridge looking very suspicious and they went down on both sides of the bridge and took him into custody. And deer hunting we always got in the woods at light lol which kinda to late because they already moved threw and I told my pop I’m driving and we get in woods b4 light . I think he only harvested 2 deer his whole time but just wanted to get out there . Dad you were hard work your father a family could ever have always work with two jobs coming home late at 2 o’clock in the morning to provide for your family. There was many times that you didn’t even eat because you wanted your family to eat, and you never complained once. . Call dad you will be missed but never forgotten. I love you so much and thank you for all you did
