It is with great sadness that we report long time member Ernie Castello passed away on Friday. For many years Ernie was the club Secretary, and his sense of humor will be missed at meetings.

Ernie will be received from 12:00-3:00 on Thursday August 6 only, at King Funeral Home in Allison Park, PA. Please think of Ernie and keep his family in your prayers.
