Kathy,Sandy and Peggy. I was saddened to hear of the passing of your father Paul. There wasn't many of my B-ball games that I didn't see your parents in the stands and we always appreciated their support. The many times talking hunting and playing ball in the "LOT". My deepest sympathies,Dave Boeschen.

Kathy, Sandy and Peggy: Your Dad had the patience of Job. It was rare to see him roll his eyes when Mert was demanding to be wheeled somewhere. What a truly wonderful man. You were blessed to have him as a father! Cousins Robert and Shawn Frank

Kathy, Sandy and Peggy...
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your dad. Growing up on Willow Brook, I will always remember your dad for his kindness, the homemade popcorn balls on Halloween and The LOT, which was occupied by the neighborhood kids on most days for carnivals and a variety of outdoor games! My parents thought the world of your parents and had many good times with them. I will be thinking of you during this holiday season. Heaven has received another angel and I am sure a glorious reunion is taking place between Mr. and Mrs. Tiemann.
Love You
