Gealy W.Wallwork Hall- IUP

We have been fortunate to share our lives with Gealy and Betty Wallwork. Over the years we have found that at the important times they were there with us. They are true friends. William Wilberforce, a reformer of his day in the late 1800’s, has written concerning friendship that describes them:
“Friends have the capacity to listen when we most need it, the capacity for sharing a word in season when we most require it; they stay the course with us when the storms of life break over us. No man has more cause for gratitude to God than myself for this gift of friendship."


Gealy we want you to know that our respect and affection for you and Betty increases the longer we live and the more we know. We recount the blessings you have given us.
Betty your husband, children, and grandchildren “rise up and call you blessed” . You are a lovely person. You are steadfast in your support of Gealy and your family.
Gealy, the naming of this hall is an honor for the Wallwork, Myers, Boone and Greenly families and a testimony to your parents. We are grateful to all the individuals at IUP who have granted this honor.
Future generations will hear of you and will recall this day and this Residence Hall and will recall your dedication, kindness and service. The power of your “devotion and energy” and vision will pass into your children’s, children, children and others that attend this University.
Our hope and anticipation as we look ahead to your future is captured in a quote of John Flavel a Puritan leader from Dartmouth, England in 1678 speaking on stewardship:
“Whoever finds a careful and a thankful heart to record and treasure up the daily experiences of God’s mercy to him shall never lack new mercies to record to his dying day.
