In Loving memory of my father, Henry F. Ebbighausen Jr. Your absence is an enormous void in the lives of me and my children- Derek, Ryan and Rachel. We are grateful for the memories, and for the time spent with you. You were a hardworking maintenance man & were proficient at several trades: heating/cooling, electrical, plumbing, and automobile repairs in your earlier years. While working long hours at Memorial Park as a maintenance supervisor (your favorite job) you raised a large family, providing for all 5 of us kids. Some of my fondest summer-time memories are of Dad taking us all camping to Maine. I cannot forget the time that you were teaching me how to fish, specifically casting my line on the river. Thinking that I'd caught the big one' upon feeling resistance on my line & not knowing that I had accidently hooked your forehead, you miraculously managed to stay calm while getting us home for mom to remove the hook- ouch! I love you Dad, your youngest son, Randy Ebbighausen.
