Thinking of all of you today. I have so many fond memories of Uncle Bob and Aunt Chris and all the Michigan gang. I am sad that I couldn't be there. What a wonder life and a wonder man. He will always live in my heart. Love you all.

So sorry for the loss of your Dad. I have fond memories of when I was a young girl out on the farm, Bob and Chris, Ralph and Rosey, and Harkey and Eleanor would all come out to visit with my mother and dad (Florence and Raymond Sass). I remember all the laughter that went on! It was good times. They will all be missed.
