Uncle Loren always had a smile and a big bear hug for me whenever I saw him. He'll always have a special place in my heart. It's sad to see the end of an era, but what a blessing to have shared time with all my aunts and uncles. I miss the ones who are gone and treasure the ones still with us. My love and prayers to all.

I can picture Uncle Loren now, sitting on the porch at Grandma and Granddad Reamer's on a Sunday afternoon 50 and more years ago. Smoking his pipe and talking with Granddad and all the other uncles, he was a normal part of the scene I'm sure all twenty-some of us cousins took for granted. Weren't we a lucky bunch in so many ways?!! And now the last of all those men are gone. And for us remaining another one never to forget.
