Dear Penny and Family, Mike and are so sad about Pudge. He is an irreplaceable man. What a great dancer! He was so loyal, too. We knew that he cared about all of us. He was trustworthy. I remember when he said we would not have an open bar at our reunions because some of us did not drink, and we would keep the costs down. He always had a smile, a great laugh. He was very generous. The PHS class of 1962 will never be the same. With love, Kathy and Mike Torpey

Penny and family. Our deepest condolences. Bill was "one of a kind" and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him (and you!). I know from my recent phone calls with him that he was suffering, yet his concern was always about you. May he rest in peace and may God comfort you.

Bill...you and Penny are the very best! You were our Senior Class (1962) President. You and Penny kept one of the longest running promises I had ever heard . As President, you had promised to keep our class together after graduation. And you did... you kept our Senior Class together for well over 60 plus years. You and Penny committed a lot of your time and efforts into putting together our 5-year reunions; our monthly luncheons and other coordinating other functions, as well. We were and have always been a tight class. And much, most, if not all of the credit goes to both you and Penny for that. Thank you. You were a great neighborhood kid to grow up with, years ago, with the Old West Avenue gang. Again, thank you...God Bless You and your family. The P.H.S.CLASS OF 1962 will definitely miss you.
