Antero and Aino were the first Finns I met in town after I moved here in 1992. They always welcomed us for coffee and pulla. My father from Finland enjoyed Antero's company during his visits here. We are all honored to known such an officer and gentleman. Antero's positive spirit will live forever in my heart.

My mother, Mary Margaret has been a resident at Sunrise for almost six years now. She always commented as to how" Andy" was such a gentleman and was such a caring husband to his wife. I saw him often when visiting my mom during meal time and he always had a smile and a greeting as I would say hello to him and his tablemates. Mary margaret and I were happy to know him.
