To the entire Wehr family,
I am sorry for the loss of Jr. as I used to call him. I have many wonderful memories of the family from when I was a child and would visit with his Uncle Sidney. Even though I was a foster child, Jr and the rest of the family treated us with kindness as though we were a part of the family. For that I will always be grateful. Loved when he would take me for rides on the horses and ponies at that time. Tons of prayers are being sent at this time so that you all will feel Gods' strength and love during this time of loss. A very nice man indeed!!

I remember when I first started at Mack, going for a test ride with Elmer,he said to me “do you see those geese flying in a V over there ?”
I said I do, he said “do you know why one side of the V is longer than the other?...........thinking I was going to learn something I said no
I don't know why. He said with a smile on his face……..because there are more geese on that side.
BIG “E” you will be missed.
