Good memories of parties at his house on Church Street. He played a great harmonica and was in a harmonica group that entertained in the Ellenton area. Always fit and sophisticated looking with a great smile and kind word. He married Elizabeth (Betty) and they had a long and wonderful marriage (50+ years) and together they traveled extensively and loved it. His voice sounded very much like my Dad and I truly enjoyed talking with him and listening to him reminisce about his life. He was loved and will be truly missed. Darlene Lieb
