I was stunned when I realized it's almost four years. Margene - It's been over 3-1/2 for my husband, so I know where you're at. He was so full of energy and jokes. That grin when we all knew he was up to something!!
I miss Milka and Ewald......

So sorry to hear of Ewald's passing. We spent many days working side by side at U S Sttel, and he always put his family first. He was a wonderful man and will not be forgotten by the many that knew him. He is a credit to the legacy that he left his family..

I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband and father.
I worked with Ewald for years at U.S. Steel. He always kept us on our toes and had his eternal sense of humor. He always made it clear how much he loved his wife and family.
