    I will never forget flying to California for Super Bowl 14 with My uncle Red and aunt Rita Small with Wisty and Huffy. We sang it never rains in southern California and shared a great trip. I also cherish the memories of Wisty at the Marty Small open in Conneaut. Rest easy Wisty you are loved and missed. Scott Quillen

    We are so sad to learn of Wisty's passing! I was standing in front of St.Rosalia Church on Friday when I found out ! How appropriate that I was in Greenfield ,where we all grew up , and loved to reminisce about so many things with Wisty when we would run into him and Huffy at St.E's ! That's how we will always remember him! Smiling Irish Eyes-and happy all the time! You were the Best, John Wisty Coll ,and we will miss you! GodBless, Mary B. And Richie Clydesdale
