Wanda, So sorry to learn of Finleys death. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
Finley was about the most comical person I ever knew. He was always good to Wayne and me and would help you with anything if he could. He was a nice kind person as we knew him. I know you will miss him as I do Wayne but if you will put your faith in the Lord and let him help you with this and your health problems. I love you and take care of yourself.
Finley was a sweet soul and even though I did not know him well, I am so glad that we were able to visit with him recently. We will miss him….Especially Ed, since Finley was his father…..
Wanda, so sorry for your loss. I’d known Finley since my High School days. He will be missed and was always lots of fun to be around. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bill, Gloria, Kiah & Chelsey.
Dear Neighbor, Friend and Possible Cousin Finley: I shall miss knowing you are not up on the hill, in the woods behind my house. I shall miss talking over the days in 1963 when we rode the P & L Bus together in the snow – you working at Free Service Tire & Appliance, and me at Limerick Finance Company, and hoofing it in the snow from the bus station to Broadway. I regret that we didn’t get to finish discussing not our family tree, but ‘family spider-web’. Rest in Peace.
