Not sure what to say?

The overwhelming number of interests I enjoy today come from the experiences I had with my Dad. So many great stories to share and keep for myself to remind me of him. As a role model he showed me that hard work, learning from mistakes(oh boy!), planning for the future and sacrifice are characteristics I try to emulate.

I was a grandpa’s girl. I always looked forward to the days I got to spend with him. I spent every single summer with grandma and grandpa. They are the grandparents that you really have to get lucky to have in your lifetime. I am one of the lucky ones. ❤ Trips in the golf cart down to the lake, Grandpa would help me catch the turtles and all the other little critters that I wanted to bring back up to the house. He taught me how to fish before I could ride a bike. Countless boat rides and...

Our condolences to the family and friends. I met Mr. And Mrs. Erwin Klopp in the year 2015. Mr. Klopp ( I refer to him as), always made me smile every time. He will be missed.

What an amazing man to have as a role model growing up! He always did things the right way. I was always treated as family by Joyce and Irwin. Brian, Glenn and I probably drove him nuts a few times. Not a better guy to hang out and have a beer with. I’ll never forget watching him twice run a fishing hook through his thumb after getting snagged. I also heard a few amazing stories about him and Uncle Al. Tremendous father that drove us home from a many wrestling matches. I thank God for...

He always made me laugh when I cut his hair . Telling golf stories, they’re sailing trips, and others tales. He was a sweet sweet man., never a negative word from his mouth UNLESS he was on his best behaviour that day! Joyce the love of his life was very evident❤ so now when I eat my German dinners you will be there with me in thought. Joyce you have been truely blessed and will continue also. The hugs and I love you from Erwin will be missed. Love to you Joyce too

He was a great guy
