Chub was the oldest of 7 kids. Myself being #6 So growing up if we had a question we would go to him because we all knew “Chub had an answer for everything” and he usually was right. I spent many trips to Easton from my out of state home to go to Book Sales with him. I too am a mystery book nut. He will be missed by many
Love , little sister Toni and husband Carl
