Dan & I really know the Droegkamp children better than Donna & Dave and wish to extend our sincere sympathies to all of the family. You may remember me (Nancy) better as Nancy Ritter. Dan (Weazel) you know better through Superior/Onyx. I (Nancy) have great memories of seeing and interacting with your family on Lake Keesus, Kandlers, and The Back Bay Bar. All those memories are what keep our loved ones with us forever. God bless all of you in your time of sorrow.

Dear Scott, Stevey, Johnny & Kris,



This is a very sad time not only for you, but also for those of us who were lucky enough to know your dad.



As sad as this is, I can't help but smile when I picture your dad's sweet boyish face and curly hair, his cute smile and giggle!



When I grew up with you guys at Lake Keesus, your dad was always really nice to me whenever I was hanging around your pier. The last time I saw him, he still called me "Bethie" and he was genuinely happy to see me as I was to see him.



With heartfelt sympathy, Beth (O'Leske) Rounds
