Our deepest sympathies go out to Joey, Carol & Kenneth. Trudy & Joe Janitz attended our wedding in 1965 in Germany where he was my boss on a missile site. We have maintained contact ever since & their friendship is something we treasured & will miss greatly. God bless the Janitz family in this difficult time.
