My best friend's Dad. What can I say other than that he made me feel special. After all, what other guy will make so many comments about my red hair! And the luncheon at Pandl's, he would have loved that! I hope you all toast him. I've got lots of good memories of 'Mr. Krier' and I wish nothing but happy memories to Kathy, Mrs. Krier and Kevin.
