My Favorite Fun-Loving Life of the Party Aunt Lillian Who initiated me into the AHOT in 1980 She enjoyed being a Turtle for about 50 years & she was born 20 March 1920 & Journeyed to the Great Pond in the Sky 25 April 2008.... Her infectious laugh & Fun-Loving Spirit have been missed by all who knew her...
YBYSA she was a Turtle
In Memory ofEvelyn Rohl
S. Orah Tipton-Irwin
She was the first Turtle I ever met. She was my half brother's girlfriend for over 25 years until she passed in the mid 1980s.. she was a bawdy sweet lady I adored. Always up for a good joke and a good time. I was just a kid as my half brother was 26 years older and she was older than him. She was very kind to me and my younger brother and sister. I will never forget her and she's the reason I wanted to become a Turtle. Family isn't always the bond of blood, but love.
In Memory ofDick Biase
Joseph Biase
