Edward John Timko was very close to his older nephew Paul Petrilla and they had been known to tip a lot of “brews” together. Once when Paul was home on leave from the Norfolk where he was stationed, he and my father went out for a few beers and cheeseburgers at Duffy’s Tavern on W. Market Street. Duffy’s was only a couple of blocks from where they were living on McMyler and a couple of blocks from where Paul Petrilla and his wife Ann lived on Oak St.
They had a great time, a lot of beer and a few of those fabulous “world famous” cheeseburgers at Duffy’s. About 2 AM, Paul took Edward home and headed back to his house because his plane was scheduled to leave at 7 AM to go back to Norfolk, Virginia. Paul slept all they way back. Unfortunately, what Paul didn’t realize was that after he dropped off his uncle, Ed tried climbing the steps to go to bed. He must have stepped wrong because he ended up falling down them breaking his wrist.
When Paul heard the news, he dreaded the thought of facing Jeannette the next time he was home on leave. However, the next time he saw Jeannette, she never mentioned the incident and neither did Paul.
