To all the family members of "Hank" our sincere sympathy...and our thanks for his eternal life with Jesus. Lots of memories of the Lieb's and the Lauck's getting together over the years, going back to Christmas gatherings at Gpa and Gma Meyer's home in Whittemore. We filled the house with noise and laughter, no doubt adding more than a little stress to our aging grandparents as they had their home invaded by so many grandchildren!
"Hank" certainly fought the good fight of faith...
