To Peanut's family - I'm so sorry for your loss. He was a great guy and John and I always enjoyed seeing him & having a few cold ones at The Log Cabin. Peanuts helped John put up new cabinets in our house on C Ave NW, and he installed a new door for us in the loft bedroom. He was a good carpenter and a great friend. Prayers for all of you in your time of sorrow.

Joanie & I have known Peanut & Doris for over 50 years. They were friends of Roger's parents and became friends of ours. So many great memory's over the years.
He will be missed by all that knew him along with their own memory's of him.
Sorry to break the news to you Buddy but I don't think Old Milwaukee has a truck that goes to Heaven. Rest in peace my Friend.

Grimm Family-We are so sorry for your loss. Julie and I have very fond memories of Peanuts: spending time in the "garage", drinking beer, watching football, playing cards, and dinners at the Lighthouse. Some of my most memorable times were talking on our way to Isle Casino to gamble. No trip was complete without stopping in the Gilbertville tavern to "flirt" with the bartenders. Our lives have been touched by his laughter and sense of humor. He will be greatly missed. Love, Rob, Julie & Kayla

Peanuts was our neighbor at Millersburg while I was growing up. Crazy and likeable person. He drove past our house every day and literally flew over our hill in front of our house, had to make sure he wasn't coming when we pulled out of driveway. We as a family loved him. Sympathy from Garry Koehn
