Sadly, the SigEp PA Tau Chapter at West Chester University has lost one of its own. A recent graduate of WCU, Barry Goslin, passed away this morning while in his sleep. The exact cause of death is not yet known. Barry was 23.
Just before our break a 'hoop of steel', a ceremony in which each brother gets a chance to speak about the graduating brother, was held for Barry to reflect on our memories. Little did we know that we’d be reflecting on those memories again so soon. Just a couple days ago he was helping out with cleaning our house and all seemed well. Naturally, this unexpected death has left us confused and empty to lose such a good brother and friend.
Many of us have never had to deal with a friend dying. Already we see that brotherhood has brought us together in a way we didn’t think possible. Many brothers got together at our house to reflect and grieve.
Please send all condolences by e-mail and they will be forwarded to the chapter, or family, or if you wish, to our mailing address: 614 S. Walnut, West Chester, PA 19382
The viewing will start at 10am on Wednesday Jan 18th, at Della Vecchia Reilly, Smaith and Boyd Funeral Home, located at 410 N. Church St. in West Chester. The funeral service will begin at noon. Interment will follow at Philadelphia Memorial Park; 124 Phoenixville Pike. Frazer. PA 19355
