Erwin E. Ashenbrenner

My thoughts and condolences go out to the whole Ashenbrenner family. I had known Grandpa Ashenbrenner for most of my life and know what a wonderful man he was. He will be very missed.

As the years float by I cherish the soft memories more and more and one such was meeting the senior Ashenbrenners.

Bonnie, Rick and Lila Lynn and I have a very special place in our hearts we keep just for Erv. We well miss him terribly.
