My sincerest condolences to the family of Mr. Landis. I didn't know him personally, but upon seeing his picture here, I realized that I had met him some years ago with my sister-in-law in Emmaus. He made quite an impression on me. I remembered his smile! Very nice, very pleasant man! God bless you, Mr. Landis! Thinking of his family and offering prayers that you all will find comfort and healing through the love, support, and prayers of family and friends! Praying for you all. A mass will be said for Mr. Landis and family.
