The Philadelphia Phillies were well represented at the All Star Game Tuesday night, by Chase Utley, Raul Ibanez, Ryan Howard, Shane Victorino and Jayson Werth.

The World Champions are in first place, they might get Pedro Martinez, and they are gearing up for another playoff run.

Yet, there is still a voice missing – that of Harry Kalas.

The popular announcer’s death this spring has left a void.

Yet, Harry Kalas was remembered as a good man, who cared about family and friends, and listened to fans and players.

One of his friends was the Reverend Edward H. Rusk, 59, who was born and raised in Gloucester City.

A Gloucester High School Class of 1967 graduate, Rusk served two years active duty in the U.S. Naval Reserves.
