I have many fond memories of Eileen and Lefty both from my childhood and attending the feed conventions with my family. Also, I enjoyed many times at the cottage in Summit Lake. I will always remember Eileen as being kind and generous and always very stylish and classy. She will be missed. My sincerest sympathy-

Sincerely

Having lived 20+ years across the street from the Roeslers in Whitefish Bay, I could write a book about all my fond memories. One of my fondest was riding up to Madison with Tim, Eileen and Lefty for one of the Badger football games in Eileen's station wagon. Lefty was driving and he had the terrible habit of constantly giving the car gas and then backing off the accerator entirely. It created the feeling of motion sickness and everyone in the car felt it except Lefty, but after 2 hours of sheer misery, we made it and got to see the Badgers win.
