  1. “Miss Lalik”, I am very sorry to read about the passing of your Dad. My thoughts are with your family,
    Sincerely, Karen (Howard) Riesett

  2. Tippy was just a great person. He was somewhat of a mentor to me when I started in the lab at Nestle Fulton. He always had a great sense of humor and just made you feel special when talking to him. I am so glad I was able to see him this past November. I will miss him dearly.

  3. Jim(The Count) and family,
    Sorry to hear about dad’s passing. He was a wonderful man and a great athlete.I even played softball against him when I was younger.I saw him many times at the grocery store and he always had a smile and plenty of conversation.Good luck to you and all your family.
