I'm writing on behalf of LeRoy & Lois Harringer, as well as myself. We have MANY fond memories of ALL of the Follmer Family from the days of the "32 Club" at Island Lake. Sadly, so many of these folks have passed away and now Joe. I feel your pain, as we lost our brother, Paul, 4 years ago, to Cancer at 52 years old. Cherish the GREAT memories you have of Joe. These will live on forever.
