Mark, Jenny and family, so sorry to hear of your Dads passing. Talked to him at the office when we were out there to do our taxes with Alex. Was kidding him about retiring, he loved being there at the office. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of your dad and husband's death. He meant so much to our family, from the time we were small to my mom's very end, he was with us. He was a very good man and I am sure has a very special room is our Lord's house. I am so glad I knew him and your wonderful family. I will pray for peace for Him and you all.

Terry & Family, I was very sorry to hear of Phil's passing and want to convey my sincerest condolences. My parents were Bill & Mary Lintzenich and, as you know we lost mom a couple of months ago and dad will have been gone 13 yrs. now this October. While I don't remember Phil well, I do remember how much mom and dad appreciated your friendship and every time I look at mom & dad's wedding picture or my baptismal picture and see pictures of a very young Phil I think of that. It's rare to have friendships that span as many years as you all had - about half a century! I know dad really enjoyed his college years with Phil and Jim Ackermann and the friendships they made with you Terry, Phil, Jim & Claire Ackermann and our times in Chicago. I've included a photo that I ran across in gathering photos for mom's funeral and thought you might enjoy. I so appreciate that my parents had such good friends. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Suzanne (Lintzenich) McDonald
