Uncle Gunter has always been known as being a kind and cheerful person. I especially remember Sally and him during family gathering at the Sotcheff House during the earlier years. His great nieces Stephanea and Sophia were just babies then but the memories are still so clear in our hearts.

May ones faith give comfort to those that knew him that he is in a better place. A place of peace!

May he watch over those he left behind to allow our journey to be purposeful and fulfilling.

Sincerely,
Lynda Dale-Roos (formally Sotcheff)
Steven, Stephanea and Sophia Sotcheff
