TK was a 1953 graduate of Reading Senior High School in Reading, Penn. He was a star on the hardwood courts. He played basketball for the Red Knights, rec and church teams, and the Black Knights, a semi-pro team. After his playing career he graced the hardwoods as a referee. He became known as “Twinkle Toes” as he blew his whistle. TK served as CBOA president, vice-president and director. A highlight of his officiating career was refereeing the PIAA championship game in 1977. In 1988 TK was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame.

TK had a 42-year banking career which began in 1960 at Berks County Bank and Trust. He retired from Elverson Bank in 2005.

He served in the United States Army from 1957-1959 and was stationed in South Korea.

TK was an avid reader of the sports section of the Reading Times and in the last three years the Winston-Salem Journal. He had an amazing ability to remember scores and special sport moments until his last days. Even after moving to the South he remained a faithful follower of the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies.

A special thanks to his many health care providers especially, Dr. Elliott Leisawitz, Dr. Christopher Madden, the staff at Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home and to the family who cared for him daily.

Thanks for Stoppin’ (his favorite signature sign-off).
