Rich, Sorry to hear about your dad. He was a very interesting man and you were a faithful son. You made sure his last years were happy. We will not be able to attend on December 8th, but know we are thinking of you!

I have thought about you and your father so often since his death last month. We didn’t see him as much as we would have liked to but he will be forever in our hearts. I loved talking to him about family history and listening to all the stories he had to tell. He could have written a book about all of his memories. The one special thing is that he reminded me so much of Larry’s dad, Ervin (Peewee). They talked so similar and their mannerisms were so much alike. I know how much others depended on him for driving them to the doctor, etc. He lived a fulfilled life until the very end. It is comforting to know that your mother and he are reunited. I know how very, very proud he has always been of you. When we visited him or talked to him by phone, your name was mentioned so very much. You knew you were loved deeply by your parents. And I especially respect you for how you showed your love for him. Not every child takes care of their parents like you did. He knew he could always rely on you for anything. I just wish I could have “one more” chat with him but that was not to be. it is wonderful to know that he is at peace and that he lived a good life. You can continue on with your life knowing you did your best to take care of your parents as they did for you while you were growing up. I know you must miss him something fierce, but hopefully we shall all meet again. You were all blessed by having one another. I will definitely miss that special Christmas card this year along with his nice long note. Plan on seeing you Saturday. Betty and Larry Kluesner
Richard: I just came across this notice, wanted to tell you I am thinking about you. Hope you are well and have happiness in your life. Know that you have a friend in Atlanta GA. I have fond memories of our friendship at Calvary. Your parents were very sweet to me and my family and the world is a sadder place without them.
