My deepest sympathies to the Sandbothe family, I still remember riding with him as a cub scout, in a van to my first Cardinals game, he was a kind man and generous with his time, sad to read of his passing thanks for all you did for myself and the other members of pack and troop 288

I was saddened to learn Paula's dad has died. He was such a gracious gentleman at the wedding of Paula & Greg. - Janey Brewen

My deepest sympathies to the Sandbothe family in your time of loss. My memories of Mr. Sandbothe helping to rebuild the sanctuary in the Church and of course as our Scout Troop Master are all nothing but good. He enriched the lives of the entire parish. Bill, if you remember you First Holy Communion, we walked into the Church side by side...My parents express their sympathies, as well.

To my Uncle Sam. Thanks for always being there for my mom (Bernice Sandbothe) and dad (James H. Smith)! Mom has entertained us for years with the tales of her brothers and their antics. From the very beginning you were the big brother, watching out for and taking care of the younger ones. She loves you so much! Right to the end, you were there for her. As with your family, you cared for our nation. Thank you, sir, for your military service. I was honored to have you at my retirement...
