Grandma, Ute, JoJo, Julianne, and JoEllen, I am so sorry for your loss. I know all your many memories will help you get through these sad days. Grandpa was one of the strongest and toughest men I ever knew. He was also one of the most kind hearted people I knew. He was a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was a lover and protector of animals and a proud veteran. Rest in Peace Grandpa-you will be missed!!
