Gary W. Poole

Grew up with Gary on the  South Side played Baseball with and against him in the old Butler Pony/Prep leagues.He went into body building, weight lifting, and physical fittness, he became massively strong especially on the bench press. I ran into him before I retired when I was on business trip to Florida, he was still well strapped as they say.Talked to him for a good hour or so mostly about his business and the South Side.He was affectionatly known by us guys as "Hound", he was one of the good guys RIP Gary

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Joe , he was one of the nicest guys in my class. I remember his great smile and personality. Him and I hooked up on the internet a few years ago and bantered on our ideologies back and fourth always very respectful. Always yold him he should come to our reunions but to no avail. My condolences to the Smallwood family

I am truley saddend by the passing of one of my best friends growing up."COBB" as we called him, was my fishing buddie and all around partner in my younger days. Larry was very laid back and gentle. We ran through the South Side especially the Maple Ave. area . Spent many hours at his house and swiping pears out of the tree in his back yard, even though Mrs. Collins would give them to us if we asked . Going "over the hill " and camping out in the woods below the West Penn Power Company was always an adventure with Fred and Denny Engle and my dog "friskie", barking at every sound and scaring the daylights out of us, except " Cobb". Who really never got excited about much and just laughed.My only regret was not contacting him before he died he was a big part of my growing up, RIP my old friend

RIP my great friend of 60 yrs. I will miss our phone calls and the many laughs we had. I will miss the golfing at the class reunions , I will miss the walking around the friday night at the reunions like it was Tumble Inn, but most of all I will miss you and the laughs we had, " LOVE YA MAN "

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Chuck. I grew up one block from him. He was our pitcher on the St. Michaels softball team that played at Franklin Field. Always liked him and his family. Spent many a summer day with him at the South Side Playground in my younger years. RIP my old South Side friend

Happy birthday Cav, from "PUDDLES"

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Mike . My last correspondance with him we talked about fly fishing, fly tying ,and bamboo rods , A passion we both hold dearly. I had invited Mike to my cabin to come fish Penns Creek but that never came to fruition. RIP Michael "tight lines"
