From the Pottstown Mercury on the passing of John Messina:


Relatives and friends are invited to attend his funeral service at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, 121 Church St., Phoenixville on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 at 11 a.m., where Father Jim Evans will officiate. Burial will follow immediately in the Limerick Garden of Memories, Limerick. Visitation will be on Monday, July 27, 2009 at the Shalkop Grace & Strunk Funeral Home, Bridge & Church streets, Spring City, from 6-9 p.m.



Those two did some of their best work together and it is only right that the big goodbye in Phoenixville should be officiated by Father Evans. Not mentioned in the article, Walt Logan and John MacPhee will be pallbearers.

Let's see, an 11 am Tuesday funeral with a Jim Evans eulogy, that puts the burial at Thursday night 9:30.
