    My deepest condolences to the Wettlaufer family. I grew up next door to the family on Freemansburg Ave. My father would take Tom and I trout fishing in the Bushkill Creek and to the annual fishing tournaments in the Mill Race at Bushkill Park.. Tom always caught the bigger fish. Lot of great memories. God Bless !
