I just returned from KY, after saying good-bye to my sweet aunt, Elinor Wiedemann, who died so soon after Hope. I shall always be grateful to Hope for giving my aunt almost four years of sheer happiness. I am so thankful they had those wonderful years together. Hope was such an amazing man - his humor, his artistic talents, his gracious hospitality, his contributions. His memory will be with us for a long time. My thoughts are with the family.

I used to work at Idle Country Club and I vividly remember Mr. Wiedemann playing the piano weekly. On Thursdays I believe. I looked forward to hearing him play while I worked. He greatly impressed me as a person. He seemed to be a man of wisdom. He possessed that unspoken quality that demanded respect and admiration, even from those who did not know him well.



I am truly sorry for your loss. I know he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
