Howard Tressler 1931 - 2006

Ethel and Charlie Tataleba along with Howard and Neva Tressler are Charter Members of Chapter PA"T.  They, along with "Big" Dick Nicholson and "Little" Dick Knupp along with several other still active Chapter members were instrumental in our Chapter PA"T" being Chartered with GWRRA.  The day the kick-off was held at the Bakersville Fire Hall was a nice fall afternoon with several other Chapters and their members attending. 

 

Howard Tressler:

 

Howard always made a great first impression on everyone that he met.  His reason for drinking carrot juice always started a major discussion whenever the topic was brought up.  Howard loved to go watch his son race his car and he and Neva did just that.  The two of them lived close to family and friends and spent as much time with their children and grandchildren as they could.  Howard and Neva wintered in Florida and Howard took as many hunting trips as he could. 

 

Ethel Tataleba:

 

Ethel loved her family more than anything in the world.  Ethel and Charlie were married for 62 years and they had 4 children, 7 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.  Everyone who knew Ethel always asked about their grandchildren because everyone who knew Charlie and Ethel knew that they were considered a part of their family.  Ethel's love for baking was known throughout the Chapter and her fruit cakes at Christmas were the best ever.  Ethel was always the first person to make someone feel special and wanted at Chapter gatherings and was a great friend to everyone who knew her.  Those who had a chance to travel with Charlie & Ethel knew that Ethel would always have a smile, regardless of the weather, whether it went down to 30 degrees or up as high as 100 degrees.

Wayne & Cathie

Wayne and Cathie became active members of Chapter PA"T" when a phone call was made to them asking them to attend a Chapter meeting.  Cathie answered the phone, said that Wayne was a truck driver and couldn't attend the monthly meetings, but they were planning on attending Wing Ding in Louisville, KY, but going to Nashville, TN first.  Well, since that's what Don and I were planning to do also, we asked them to join us.  On that trip, Bob & Sue Berkey, Clyde & Carole Mintmierer and Don & Patty Hoffman along with Wayne & Cathie went to Nashville, TN all in one day.  After that trip, Wayne & Cathie became as active in the Chapter that they possibly could due to their work.  Wayne's life revolved around his love for Cathie and their family.  Wayne & Cathie were also the Northeast Region "B" MFA Coordinators.
