Dear John, so sorry to see of the passing of your dad. I was momentarily confused by Erwin as I always knew him as Bob. He was so very kind to me during my years as a court reporter and then very loyal when I started my own business. His words of encouragement were always special. I shall treasure his mentoring and knowledge. I enjoyed his Navy stories and his counsel during the many years we worked together. He was so proud of you and Robert. So sad to be losing the great people of his generation. They simply cannot be replaced.

Uncle Bob was a great American who sacrificed his freedom and livelihood to fight for our country in WWII. He was close to his sister Edith throughout her life and always was concerned for looking out for his little sister. We will miss him m as part of our lives
