The most humble person has left us. Only after reading his obituary did I realize the full extent of his accomplisments and the many hardships he must have endured. I'm honored to have known him for almost 25 years.I loved his wisdom, his positive outlook and great sense of humor. He was a true inspiration!

Carl and Walter - I only met your father on the few times when I visited your house as a teenager, but I always felt his welcoming warmth and good spirit each time. He was a "righteous person" in every sense of that term. I know you honor him by carrying on his warmth and spirit in your own lives. May the Blessed One bless and keep him and you.

I work with Mr. Weinschenks son Carl and while I never met him, I am honored to have know him through Carl. Carl told me his father had lived an incredible life and from this recap I can more fully appreciate his accomplishments and the inspiration he gave to his son, his family and his friends. What a wonderful tribute, thank you
