As a tribute to Dave and Flossie Hunsberger, you can help purchase two memorial benches.  The first is to be located on the boardwalk at Ocean Grove, NJ, and the other is to be placed in a park along the Perkiomon Creek.  A friend of the family said that he “could actually see Dave and Flossie sitting on the bench, happy to be where they were, happy to be together and anticipating seeing someone they know walk by.”  If you would like to participate in this memorial, please send contributions to Doylestown United Methodist Church, 320 East Swamp Road, Doylestown, PA 18901.  Mark your check “Hunsberger Memorial.”
